Best debut album of the year
Best UK album of the year
Just so much fun, and this sort of indie rock is right in of my main musical comfort zones since the '80s. [First added to this chart: 06/20/2022]

@Moondance I am sure there is some good Aussie albums I haven't heard yet. I had a bit of a quieter year in 2022 and didn't get to listen to as many albums as usual but I epect more will be added as time goes on :)

Always a delight to check out your charts and your 'classification' system. Equally nice to see a good percentage of Aussie albums make the cut - personally, I think you should have more Aussie albums: but hey, I'm super-biased.
