Our Top 50 Albums of 2021
It felt like we finally started getting back to some sort of normality this year, albeit with some bumps along the way. Concerts and festivals are thankfully back and we’ve had a load of great music to listen to. It was really difficult to get this down to just 50 and it changed many times as I was putting this together.
