Hi everyone! This is the last time I tag you guys for this year’s bracket, I promise. I just wanted to thank you all for participating and being engaged with this, no matter how your personal album of the year performed. It was a random idea I had in class one day, and I really did not expect it to be as successful as it was! Y’all’s album suggestions for this competition helped me get to albums that I didn’t have time to hit over 2024, and even albums that would’ve flew under my radar, and I hope it did the same for y’all! While there were some things to figure out before and even during the bracket process, I’m glad you guys stuck around and were patient and continued to participate in every poll and while we built the bracket!

The process for the second annual album bracket will begin on November 20th, which is exactly a year after this thread was created! The schedule will be exactly the same as this year as well, as I feel like it was the best way to do it. That means, the voting for the 2025 bracket will begin January 8th, 2026 (which doesn’t even sound like a real day yet).

Once again, thank you everybody for making this 10x more successful than I ever imagined this being as I was sitting bored in my microeconomics class, and I hope the turn out is just as big if not bigger this November! Much love to my fellow S80 posters.

ITS A MIRACLE!!!

 

Feb 15, 2025

Everybody, tonight is the night that we have been building up to since November. 64 albums fought a hard battle beginning on Jan 8th, and here we are, Feb 15th with one. remaining. album.

It is an album nobody even saw coming, it was not even released when the thread was created. Everyone, our champion and S80's album of the year is...

GNX by Kendrick Lamar! He took home 5 Grammies, but I have a feeling that this achievement means much more.

Result charts and the spinny wheel results soon!
