It’s that time of year already, when we start to run down another list of 100 albums of the year as suggested by our writers and deliberated upon by our editors. It is by no means definitive. This is an eclectic list, a testament to the quality of work produced over the last twelve months by artists from a diverse range of genres from across the world.
With all the challenges facing musicians and labels, now more than ever it is important that we support the artists we love, whose work brings light to our lives. So if you hear something you love then we hope you can buy a record or merch from the artist.
Here are the albums from 100-51. Next week we will deliver albums 50-1.
