Dunno if it is a provocation, but every year we find on top of these charts albums that doesn't deserves to be even in a record store.
I wonder who's gonna listen after 10 years Cardi B or Ariana Grande.

You have my promise that in the year 2029, I will be listening to both Invasion of Privacy and Sweetener.

Yes, i can imagine, in the same way that you still listen #2 last year SZA or #4 kelela.

I still hear about their albums quite a bit, why do you think people wouldn't be listening? Also, maybe I've just broken my brain from doing this thing where I search youtube for things like "albums 2018" and check out every end of year summary that people put up, but I think getting upset about the things people and organizations cannot highlight in these summaries is a bad thing to do. There are so many possible narratives and it is a strength of music that it contains them all. Trying to constrain that is a fruitless endeavor that will earn you no sympathy because you deserve to lose doing something like that.

I've listened to both SZA and Kelela's respective 2017 albums recently. Is the problem with women?

I'm a total dad rocker and a BIG fan of the band June Of 44, and those are two of my favorite albums from last year EASILY. With SZA's probably being my AOTY. Just an insanely great album and would be near the top of my charts no matter what year it came out.

I appreciate the inclusion of more mainsteam albums that reflects what the general population listens to instead of only championing "indie heroes" that produce the same safe sounding rock music.
You don't have to like every album on those lists, I certainly don't, but I accept that it's a decent representation of what was hot this year without just being a list of best-sellers.
And yeah, I'm pretty sure people will still listen to Ariana Grande in the future, she already made tons of memorable songs and its not like her career is over.
