Kern Posted November 30 Posted November 30 Another boring list with no Imaginal Disk or What Happened To The Heart
Comedor Posted November 30 Posted November 30 I'm here for Charli winning AOTY at the Grammys. Not a big fan of the album but love her material overall, and she grinded for over a decade for this moment. 1
AshleyLovescats887 Posted November 30 Posted November 30 I like how every aoty list has random khias taking up most of the list and only having a few of the actual aotys on it 2 2

What a dumb take 4 1 2
Thin White Duke Posted November 30 Posted November 30 3. Vampire Weekend – Only God Was Above Us Whew, let's celebrate that

What a dumb take well lbr if they were solely basing it off of quality, taylor would be nowhere on this list. they likely take popularity into account but doesn't weight it heavily compared to other metrics

izebize Posted November 30 Posted November 30 No Dopamine, no Access All Areas, no Megan, no Quantum Baby, no Bird's Eye, no Timeless, no Born in the Wild. TRASH
shyboi Posted November 30 Posted November 30 this lists are so predictable, do they even listen to something out of the top 50? yawn
Chemist Posted Sunday at 10:27 AM Posted Sunday at 10:27 AM boring list. Taylor should not be in the top 20 of anything
