Best albums of the 2010s
Streaming rewrote every incentive underneath a record: its length, its release date, whether it needed a single at all. Trap production became pop's default rhythm, and a lot of the decade's best artists arrived through a laptop rather than a label.
According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of the 2010s is 1999 by Joey Bada$$, rated 4.5/5 by 25 listeners.
