      I came to this thread ready to scream "delusional" but you mostly cooked tbh.    I would've given it to Red in 2014 and kept Cowboy Carter this year.

    Agree with most of these.

     

    But for 2010 it's a tossup between Fearless/The Fame.

    2024 I would give it to Ocean Blvd, not SOS.

    2025 keep CC.

    Hmm for me personally:

     

    2010: Taylor Swift – Fearless 

    2011: Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster

    2012: Adele – 21

    2013: Frank Ocean - Channel Orange 

    2014: Daft Punk – Random Access Memories

    2015: Beyoncé - BEYONCÉ

    2016: Taylor Swift – 1989

    2017: Adele - 25

    2018: Bruno Mars – 24K Magic

    2019: Kacey Musgraves – Golden Hour

    2020: Billie Eilish – When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 

    2021: Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

    2022: Jon Batiste – We Are 

    2023: Harry Styles – Harry's House 

    2024: Taylor Swift - Midnights

    2025: Beyoncé - Cowboy Carter

     

    shouldve been like this to me honestly

     

    I mostly agree with you, but I think Arcade Fire rightfully won AOTY in 2011, although it still would have been amazing if Gaga had won.

     

    In 2025 it should have been brat, but Billie wouldn't be bad either

    I pretty much agree with everything, except:

     

    2019: Kacey Musgraves – Golden Hour -> Post Malone - Beerbongs & Bentleys

    2022: Jon Batiste – We Are -> Olivia Rodrigo - Sour

    2023: Harry Styles – Harry's House -> Bad Bunny - Un Verano Sin Ti

     

    But for me CC = HMHAS so i'm happy anyway :sistrens:

    And when I say I'd give it to Red and evermore, making Taylor a 6X AOTY winner :gaylorcat2:

     

    I'd also give it to TFM, Lorde, Beyoncé and Lemonade, Bad Bunny, and to Chappell this year.

    I think Olivia needs a win too, so I'd maybe pick Sour over Evermore.

    Melodrama deserved it the most.

     

    I'd give Bey AOTY for Self Titled and give it to HMHAS this year.

    I'd just change 2019 for 'Dirty Computer'. I agree with the rest.

    Some of these are OK as-is and make more sense as-is (i.e. Adele in 2012) but I'm changing them based on my personal favorites for each year.

    2017: Adele – 25 -> Beyoncé - Lemonade (or Sturgill Simpson? Getting into his discog and his music is great, would be nice to give a great country record a win alongside Kacey)

    2018: Bruno Mars – 24K Magic -> Lorde - Melodrama (unpopular opinion but I'm also OK with this being Bruno... or Kendrick)
