Top 28 Music Albums of the 2020s
by 
slatsheit 
I admittedly have a lot of catching up to do on 2020s albums listening (not necessarily on 2024 - I've heard 130 albums at least once in that year). Right now, these are the only 4-star-and-above albums I have heard or identified as such so far. I refuse to put below-4-star albums in a best of decade list and give fairly big points to those albums. BUT - a big change - I have found, not just a 4.5-star album, but a FIVE-star album from this decade! That's cause for celebration, given that I only have three 5-star albums in the entire current millennium.

Ah, the first 5-star album in a decade. So wonderfully catchy.
