Hey awesome chart. And thanks for your comment on mine. Sorry for the delay in response. Yeah I understand that the more death grips ish sounds in that Genesis Owusu album may be not to your liking. Hope you liked that Alice Phoebe Lou album. I’ll keep up with your ever-evolving chart.

Last 20-30 on my chart aren't exactly recs either. Just filler until something better comes along. And I agree about hip hop, it's the first time in a while where I don't actually have a hip hop album in top 20. In fact, apart from 2019, I think I've had a hip hop album in top 10 for every year that I've made a chart. Of course this year's barely started, so there's hope.
