Re: EOY Albums: List Updates
Roisin Machine only landed at #21 for 2020; even if Hit Parade is on the same level quality wise, it doesn't feel like much of a breakthrough comparatively. I'm sure the controversy dropped her a few spots, but I think people are overstating where it would have otherwise landed. No way it breaks th...

Re: EOY Albums: List Updates
I suspect Roisin Murphy would have fared much better had her disappointing comments not been made public. Yet somehow Noname wasn't affected. I can't figure that one out. Noname was affected to some extent, my betting is she'd be about ten places higher now if not for the Jay Electronica feature. B...

Re: EOY 2023 - Pitchfork (USA)
I can see Wednesday's album at no.3, but no.1 would probably be too much. That leaves us Sufjan and SZA. Last time Pitchfork gives AOTY to a white male artist is 2011? So I'll go with SZA.

I doubt they'll have Sault in there, I suspect barely any reviewers have had time to wade through all the albums they released recently. They gave Dawn FM five stars so maybe that will be no. 3 or maybe they forgot about it as it was a January release.
