Happy Friday! It's that time of year. Time for me to fulfill my annual tradition of making an Apple Music playlist out of NPR's top 50 albums of the year.
Read about their picks in the linked article below:
The 50 Best Albums Of 2020, Ranked : NPR
At certain moments, 2020 felt like a year that might not ever come to an end. Now that it's mostly in our rear view, can a retrospective give a shape to that swarm of weeks and months? Can we make sense of layer upon layer of fear, anger, frustration, confusion, exhilaration and exhaustion that piled up like soil falling over our heads? Sometimes art breaks through. Better to think of the best music of 2020 as an urgent cacophony of distinct voices rather than a chorus with a single melody. Many voices, with many stories to tell. Here are the 50 best albums of a year unlike any we can remember.

Two records were not available on Apple Music but you can hear them and learn more here and here.
Lately NPR has been making a Spotify playlist of the albums. It isn't out yet, but if they do it, I will edit it in to this post.
