Top 20 Albums of 2020 Countdown

0 Shares

I started a tradition back in 2009 when I counted down my favourite albums of the year. Instead of making a Top 10 list, I counted down the Top 9 Albums of 2009. Every year since then, I have been adding one album to the list to keep up with the year.

So without further ado, here are the Top 20 Albums of 2020 as decided by me. These are simple albums that I bumped a lot and quite enjoy.

I played two tracks from each album so you can get a general feel for what they are like. If you want to be surprised as you listen and go on this journey with me, press play and don’t continue scrolling as that will reveal the tracklist.
