10. Moses Sumney - grae

[Holden]

Is the Guardian really gonna make us wait ten more days for their list???

[charliepanayi]

Is the Guardian really gonna make us wait ten more days for their list???

They do this every year...

[Holden]

Is the Guardian really gonna make us wait ten more days for their list???

They do this every year...

I was unaware of that. That you for letting me know.

[charliepanayi]

They do it with their film list too, it's very drawn-out

[Donchano]

09. Taylor Swift - folklore

[luvulongTIM]

They need to do away with that element of suspense thing already. A Music magazine in 2020 if they’re even still in publication is a miracle in itself. People will lose interest when stretching it out like this and that’s the last thing you want if you want to stay relevant and keep the few readers you still have. Kind of pompous and egotistical as well. I could have seen Pitchfork doing this maybe 15 years ago but even they know they gotta keep things moving in 2020.

Well, The Guardian isn't a music magazine, it's a daily newspaper. The existence of which in 2020 is also a miracle in itself.

[Donchano]

08. J Hus - Big Conspiracy

Erghhh this one revelation per day is tiring tho.

[nquoid]

07. Haim - Women in Music Pt. III
06. Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud

[Holden]

05. Sault – Untitled (Black Is)

[Donchano]

I think the Top 4 will be Fiona Apple, Dua Lipa, The Weeknd and Perfume Genius

[Matski]

Well, you've got one at least one of the four correct:

04. Perfume Genius – Set My Heart on Fire Immediately


With three more days to go, will the Guardian throw a left-field wonder into the mix?.. ...Knowing the Guardian, probably not.

[Donchano]

Wait a minute I just realized Rina isn't on the list yet. It's either The Weeknd or Rina will join Fiona and Dua in the Top 3

[Holden]

Wait a minute I just realized Rina isn't on the list yet. It's either The Weeknd or Rina will join Fiona and Dua in the Top 3

Hopefully Rina!

[Donchano]

03. Rina Sawayama - SAWAYAMA

Oh well I think The Weeknd didn't make it into the list

[Donchano]

02. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia

Number one is predictable already, it's Fiona 99.99%

[Pauler]

YAY for Rina. She deserves all the success she can get
