charts discussion Billboard Top Albums of 2024, with albums only released in 2024.

[Fitzswiftie]

With so much of the album year end charts being legacy titles, I thought this would be a fun way to see what 2024 records (or 2025 Grammy eligible) were the most consumed in 2024, using Billboard's year end, actual position in brackets

 

1. The Tortured Poets Department (#1)

2. Hit Me Hard and Soft (#11)

3. We Don't Trust You (#15)
4. Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana (#17) (2023 release)

5. The Rise of a Midwest Princess (#18) (2023 release)

6. Cowboy Carter (#21)

7. Short n Sweet (#25)

8. Pa Las Baby's y Belikeada (#27) (2023 release)

9. Pink Friday 2 (#30) (2023 release)

10. American Dream (#36)

 

11. Fireworks & Rollerblades (#49)

12. Think Later (#52) (2023 release)

13. The Great American Bar Scene (#53)

14. Higher (#56) (2023 release)

15. F-1 Trillion (#63)

16. Brat (#65)

17. Vultures 1 (#68)

18. The Death of Slim Shady (#69)

19. Golden (#80) (2023 release)

20. Where I've Been Isn't Where I'm Going (#85)

 

Do these 20 albums (the only 2024 releases in the entire top 100) define the year and/or feel more reflective of 2024 than the actual billboard list?

 

Discuss.

Eternal Sunshine was #23 Year-End, so it should be #7 on this list
