ByJohn

2025 is about to go into the archives and like every year, newspapers from all over the world try their hand at their respective end-of-year rankings, including the one relating to the best records of the year that is about to end. A site, albumoftheyear.org, has drawn up a ranking by aggregating the various scores and placements received by the albums in the rankings of the various publications, specialized and otherwise. By bringing together 99 sources, he developed a general top ten. Here it is:

1. “Lux” – Rosalía (365 points, number 1 in 10 lists)
2. “Getting Killed” – Geese (338 points, number 1 on 11 lists)
3.”DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” – Bad Bunny (178 points, number 1 in 5 lists)
4. “Bleeds” – Wednesday (175 points, number 1 in 1 list)
5. “Eusexua” – FKA Twigs (174 points, number 1 in 1 list)
6. “Choke enough” – Oklou (158 points, number 1 in 3 lists)
7. “Let God Sort Em Out” – clipse (155 points, number 1 in 1 list)
8. “Euro-Country” – CMAT (148 points, number 1 in 2 lists)
9. “Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party” – Hayley Williams (146 points, #1 on 3 lists)
10. “Baby” – Dijon (146 points, number one in 1 list)

Triumph for Rosalía, who with her latest album “Lux” (here our review), inspired by female mysticism, not only conquered the Vatican but also became a hit in the year-end charts of newspapers around the world. Rock is represented by Geese and Wednesday. Bad Bunny, the record-breaking Puerto Rican singer-songwriter and rapper, takes third place with “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS”, which saw him pay homage to the musical tradition of his country and the Latin world more generally.

Among the 99 sources cited by the site are Billboard USA, Consequence of Sound, Complex, Cosmopolitan, Dj Mag, The Economist, the Guardian, The Independent, Mojo, the New Musical Express, Pitchfork, the Telegraph, Time, Variety, Uncut, The Associated Press, BBC Radio.
