There's no reason we have to stick to strictly calendar year lineups if there's a more compelling thematic hook. For example, the new Cool Britannia: Jade vs. PinkPantheress vs. Lola Young vs. Olivia Dean

Oh exactly

We put Chappell Roan in the '24 rate with a 2023 album, so there's precedent for it, yeah.

Lola's album did come out this year (it was pretty good…). Honestly the UK girls kind of ourserved the American divas this time around.

Plenty of precedent. There were a bunch of Madonna vs. Mariah vs. Janet vs. Kylie rates early on that grouped their albums generally by the era of their careers, even if the years didn't line up exactly. I had a really successful rate with 25AntiJoanneEmotion: Side B and Glory, which spanned fall 2015 to summer 2016.

The UK lineup would be significantly stronger/more competitive. Maybe @jacklovesyou1 can do that one, no?

 

Then we can do Blondemonium: Addison v. So Close To What v. BITE ME v. starfucker v. C,XOXO :gaygacat5:

What can I say? I’m a child of the ‘90s who purchased the original U.S. Now CD when it was released. Having that track on there was a formative experience for me!

“Karma Police” vs. “Karma Chameleon” is fun symmetry

Bored at work and thinking about the concept of Warmth by Janet vs. Ancestors by Björk in 2004 Makes the Woman

The concept of Damita Jo making that lineup...

 

If we're talking about female albums that people actually listened to in 2004, you're probably looking at something like:

 

Feels Like Home vs. Under My Skin vs. Autobiography vs. Love. Angel. Music. Baby. vs. Breakaway vs. Destiny Fulfilled

 

Can swap in for Anniemal for the Pitchfork set or, if we're going by original European release dates, maybe Unwritten or even VH1 fave Eye to the Telescope (though that phenomenon really didn't hit until the following year)
