Best albums of 2024

Pop went club and abrasive and spent a summer being the only thing anyone talked about. A rap feud played out in real time as the year's most-discussed music, which is not how anyone would have drawn it up. Country, separately, got its most ambitious crossover in decades.

According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 2024 is Humble as the Sun by Bob Vylan, rated 4.5/5 by 18 listeners.
