Hellfire didn't even place wtf

Hey! Here is my 2022 albums list!! Check it out and let me know what you think! Thoughts? Opinions?

weyes blood should be higher but i'm glad to see her in the top 10

riot's album of the year

You have KCRW lists but no other indie/college station BOY lists?? Rationale? What about KCMU (DJ & listeners), WFMU, KUTX, many other premium music-only sources to dilute those 'experts' at quality outlets like People Magazine, GMA, USA Today, etc.

reminder that the user list aggregate is up and currently has 38 contributions! https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/brainshiftt/list/99216/aoty-user-list-aggregate-2022/

Midnights is missing 13 points (#5 on Giwise, #8 on Coup de Main, #20 on Good Morning America) which affects its current ranking. Those points are enough to catapult Midnights to No.8

Midnights top 10 yesss

Ok, but Lemonade is better though

There is no need to separate the standard and deluxe editions. When pitchfork reviewed Midnights, although the review title didn't write “Midnights 3AM Version”, they still reviewed 3AM's song in the article. The same is true for the Rolling Stones. Although “Midnights” is listed in their year end list instead of “Midnights 3AM Version”, the songs in 3AM are also mentioned. Music critics do not consciously distinguish between the two.

The Hollywood Reporter and other lists are missing, can somebody fix it?

Midnights deserves this top 10

The album is missing 13 points (#5 on Giwise, #8 on Coup de Main, #20 on Good Morning America) which affects its current ranking. Those points are enough to catapult Midnights into Top 10. (2)

FIX THIS

Motomami is missing 3 points since Motomami+ (#13 on Good Morning America) is counted as separate album although it doesn't affect the aggregate (as of now depends on how hard Wet Leg will push for the remaining lists).

However, it is different story for Midnights. The album is missing 13 points (#5 on Giwise, #8 on Coup de Main, #20 on Good Morning America) which affects its current ranking. Those points are enough to catapult Midnights into Top 10.

Beyoncé ftw. Earned.

Once twice melody is so trash

why most of the publications on here are british?

motomami at #2 again i never doubted you madre!

the heck happened with drake's album? the top 20 was almost perfect... why?

Midnights 3am is Midnights, can you please Just fix It??? Its the same album

The UPROXX annual list for both albums & songs
are voted by 200+ music critics. But it's not included?

Midnights is missing 13 points because they separated 3AM version from the original album…

u haven't updated the songs list in like 5 days? are u not going to add Sydney morning herald. its one of the biggest and most respected organisations in Australia.

Suede coming home strong!

how come critics collectively have pretty trash taste and rankings?

Perfume Genius was totally ignored by the lists this year and the album is excellent

can you pls add fantano's top songs list as well

Ethel Cain deserves this top 10, lets go

motomami come back to 2nd :’(

Shygirl is back omg

get Wet Leg out of here and put Hellfire instead

none of my top 20 are on this. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RgfQgEou4KLZCDwxlTw1P?si=271446d5b3bf4de6

Angel Olsen should never have dropped out of the top 10

Midnights top 10 yesss

Rosalía 3

Que le den por culo!!!

Wet Leg is so much more fun and playful that Motomami, honestly. So happy that they're doing so well!!!! More rock for the people!

not wet leg surpassing motomami 😭🤮

Wet Leg hype is so bizarre

Hellfire got robbed holy sh!t

User list aggregate for those interesting in participating! Rules are in the description :)

Ants From Up There is NUMBER 1 In South America music website. English speaker's music critics knows nothing.

Wet Leg is soooooo overrated

And jid gets a first place vote before bcnr does.

justice for hellfire
shit is one of the best albums i have ever heard it deserves to at least be on the list itself

why not add our culture?

Wake up baby it’s list week

Midnights 3 AM is Midnights. why treat as separate albums?

Question how do you guys feel about this year musically?

May I know why Admin refuses to add UPROXX's Annual Music Critics Poll into the aggregate? This is their 5th critics poll since 2018 yet none of them are included. For the record, the list is different from their staff consensus. It's similar to Pazz & Jop since it involves hundreds of critics yet the latter counts for aggregate. Anyway, here are the links for both albums and songs:

midnights being higher than. ants from up there 💀

where is hellfire

Wish soccer mommy would make it to the end

Wait I'm confused. The Midnights 3AM doesn't count for standard version?

So why 3am version of midnights was not combined with its original?

So happy I was right about Wet Leg and refused to listen to the haters.
It's a bop of a record. Everyone I'm playing it for fall in love with it.

the family snubbed i fear

wet leg smashes so hard

those 2 lists that put preacher's daughter first are v real

renaissance and motomami top 2! those are my mothers! 😋😋

justice for The Forever Story

justice for hellfire

justice for hellfire

justice for hellfire

justice for hellfire

midnights > ants from up there confirmed

so many of these albums deserve to be higher

weyes blood at 10 :(

tirando a beyoncé que, incontestavelmente, merece o #1, posso afirmar: esse é um dos piores year end de todos os tempos.

Finally a top 3 vote for BCNR on list 65

currently top 30 for laurel hell so good for such an overhated album

Ants from Up There is struggling…

skinty fia top 10 lfg

Houston Chronicle by Nina Hernandez list：https://www.chron.com/culture/music/article/best-albums-2022-17641793.php

tf is entering heaven alive doing on here 💀

not even a top 3 placement for bcnr although its literally the 2nd highest rated album according to critics lol

Wet Leg ranked higher than Dragon is unexpected

57 lists, not one top 3 vote for BCNR is baffling. Still performing well, not hurt by it, just shocked and confused.

Won't add to the Our Culture list this year? has been added in the last two years

@Rob

Albumism is here:
https://albumism.com/lists/best-albums-of-2022-index

also yard act 😡
there are actual good albums that need to be recognized unlike this stupid band

bcnr deserves at least top 5

wet leg was good but damn it is soooooooo overrated

Slate also releases Best Songs list along with Best Album list

Drake kicked off and Zel now on the list. Nature is healing

This is the first she got aoty mym?!😭

AOTY in any year that Beyonce drops is gonna be Beyonce because she is literally critic proof

ethel deserves higher tbh

Here’s a list from a South American Website. Check it out.

Once Twice Melody was so disrespected and underrated

no way yall disrespected jid like this wtf

Charli XCX’s CRASH is missing 5 points. NYLON included the album at their unranked top 10 list, which should guarantee her +5 points. But since it’s the deluxe version there displayed, the points are not on the count. Can somebody fix this?

The 100 Best Songs of 2022 https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-songs-2022/lizzo-about-damn-time-2/

I do NOT get the hype with the bad bunny record and how the fuck is Honestly Nevermind even making on to a list?

Most Likely Fantano's Top 10:

1. Viagra Boys - Cave World (STRONG 9)
2. JID - The Forever Story (Decent-STRONG 9)
3. Natalia Lafourcade - De Todas la Flores (Decent-STRONG 9)
4. black midi - Hellfire (Decent-STRONG 9)
5. Black Country New Road - Ants from Up There (DECENT-Strong 9)
6. Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems (DECENT-Strong 9)
7. Petrol Girls - Baby (LIGHT-Decent 9)
8. Ashenspire - Hostile Architecture (LIGHT-Decent 9)
9. Silvana Estrada - Marchita (LIGHT-Decent 9)
10. Conway The Machine - God Don't Make Mistakes (Strong 8-LIGHT 9)

hopefully a 2nd Placement will be enough for JID to make the Top 50

bcnr is mid truthers finally seeing justice served

I liked the Beyoncé record a lot but everyone picking it as #1 just seems so safe and uninteresting……

Can album on the honorable mention of Vulture score 1 point? It looks like a unranked lists of the rest 34 albums

The New York Times has 3 individual lists on best songs of 2022, why just include one?

Rina Sawayama, Julia Jacklin, Florence + The Machine, Soccer Mommy and YYYs all getting Must Hear tags and being honorable mentions is just WRONG

is there a version of this without the lists that had Drake and Taylor Swift

What in the world

The disrespect to JID and Denzel is crazy

Really, JID is an honorable mention? Disgraceful

arctic monkeys over bm? the car wasn't bad but hellfire was amazing, kinda scuffed

THIS IS BAD, THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO BAD, SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD SO BAD

Mr. Morale was pretty good but it doesn't deserve nearly as much praise as TPAB did.

bcnr, ants from up there, the myth.

2020 is still the best year in music this decade so far.

Mr Morale is so mid and ass. I’m glad it fell to #3.

beyoncé sweep is real and I'm obsessed

Pitchfork gassed the shit out of BC,NR when it first dropped but now they basically act like it was just a tiny blip in the year's releases lol

BCNR is an easy 1 for me, but I get Beyoncé being first

Oh wow Big Time top 10 I thought I was the only one who loved that record

My fave Shygirl did that

Annoying ass pastel green bar on the top of the screen

HORSEGIRL OH YESSS

Seems we're all in agreement about BCNR lol, though I will say that while I don't think Bey's album is better than BCNR, am I mad at her being at the top? no

crazy how user score is literally nothing lol

flop country new road

who puts midnights higher than dawn fm?

I was patient with 15 lists in and not a single 1,2 or 3 vote for BCNR, but 32 lists? Da fuq.

the BCNR underperformance is just shocking! we're still expecting many more sites to publish their lists, right? I read on another comment that these aggregate lists get balanced out over time but it still looks like a trainwreck to me

almost like critics arent normal people, so surprising

hellfire at 30 is wild

Ethel Cain so true

Jockstrap above BCNR is bizarre lmao

Denzel out of top 50 is crazy

That Wet Leg record is just getting gassed up beyond belief lol

JID in honorable mentions is kind of surprising to me

jockstrap at 6 is rancid shouldve been 1

Honestly nevermind above topical dancer is crazy

wtf is this, this just appeared on the top of my screen outta nowhere lol

Hey, me and a few other users of AOTY write for the brazilian site SoundX, and we've submitted our list, it would be pretty cool if it gets accepted 'cause it's honestly kinda annoying seeing lists only in english, people all around the world listen to music y'know

how is BCNR getting so robbed rn it's like they forgot they gave it 89 critic score

honestly would be here for a beyonce sweep this year

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

critics are bots fr

We can’t have nice things

I think the #1 spot will be either Renaissance or Wet Leg

Black Country Who Road

So basically, the New York Times gets three votes? If a British publication publishes their staff picks, do you count each of those?

Wet Leg in second, but who cares, it's not like critic's opinions matter

Albums listed on Glide's list should be given 3 points, not 1.

Going to be interested to see how this changes from the mid-year list

Is there a reason The Forever Story isn't on here? It has a higher critic and user score than a few of these.

1- Weyes Blood - And In The Darkness, Heart Aglow

The 2 Jack White albums Rough Trade UK put at #1 should have to split that publication's first place points.

Oh, it's that time of the year again.

not wet leg being second 💀

I stan for A preachers daughter, Ethel Cain

will rough trade us be added too?

https://blog.roughtrade.com/us/us-vinyl-albums-of-the-year-2022/

already a trainwreck and we are 4 lists in

1. Mr. Morale
2. Renaisanacienssce
3. Motomami

I love how the only two lists outs rn have o albums in common lmao

Will be

1 Renaissence
2 Motomami
3 Dragon New Warm
4 Ants from up There
5 Midnights
