Alternative R&B x Pop Rap
One of the cornerstones of my life, this album has been through everything with me. Sonically, it's a seamless blend of several different styles of r&b with hip-hop. It's perfectly lush, atmospheric vibe sets the mood for any memory that you'll remember for the ret of your life.
What sets this apart from every other record is the warmth. This isn't the same warmth that I (and many others) will reference when talking about other records, this just feels right for me. In any occasion, I can through on any of these songs and I know that it will fit whichever mood I want it to. It's unbelievably comforting but so easy to throw on a party, all at the same time. I believe that it is that dichotomy that pushes this so high in my mind. It is everything I could ever want from both genres of r&b and rap.
"I was just calling, ‘cause they were just leavin'
Talk to me, please, don't have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women that's livin' off me
Paid for their flights and hotels, I'm ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won't say no names
After a while, girl, they all seem the same
I've had sex four times this week; I'll explain
Havin' a hard time adjustin' to fame
Sprite in that mixture
I've been talkin' crazy, girl, I'm lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
'Well, I'm sorry.'"
"But jealousy is just love and hate at the same time
Yeah, it's been that way from the beginning
I just been playing, I ain't even notice I was winning
And this is the only sound you should fear
Man, these kids wear crowns over here and everything is alright" [First added to this chart: 11/04/2015]

Outlaw Country x Americana
Picture this, you're sitting at a bar in some small, rural town that you've never heard of. You're drinking a Jack and Coke, listening to the jukebox and all of the sudden, someone starts playing live music. This someone happens to be playing some of the best rustic country you have ever heard. It balances outlaw country with gothic country and appalachian folk unbelievably well. The bookends of this record are the highlights, but everything in between culminate to an album that is truly something to behold.
"Three dead in a crash on the number 4
Two witnesses below and up high
Not sure whose will be done
You can call me a sinner for wondering why" [First added to this chart: 04/07/2022]

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.8/100, a mean average of 92.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

I like this chart a lot. There is a uniquely special feeling when you discover an artist (or 2) that flies under the radar of commercial success and hits at the heartstrings in a uniquely personal way. This chart is full of such artists/albums ¬ and well worth a deep dive rather than a cursory glance.
The Australian album in this list - Go Further Into Darkness - is well worth a listen. Of the 2 albums we have in common, this is one of them.

Holy shit what an absolutely bananas list. It goes fucking everywhere and never stops to... Impress? Like, I feel in a way that this many obscure picks would feel forced, as if it's trying too hard to be special, but in a way I also feel it's all coming from a genuine place. Nonetheless, props to you! This'll definitely be my go-to place for when I need some new stuff to listen to.
Also, amongst everything, mad respect to someone with แห่สดดนตรีพื้นบ้านหนองโก ชุดที่ 8 + 9 in their chart. I salute you.

This is a really cool chart, I love a lot of these artists, gotta say your hip hop picks shock me though. Lil Peep made the best hip hop album ever? But hey, its a personal list so I digress. Great choices overall
