Jhené Aiko - Chilombo
Jhené Aiko's third studio album Chilombo was a long time coming, but it proved to be worth the wait and has rewarded the singer-songwriter with the most successful album of her career. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Top R&B Album chart and number 2 on the Billboard 200. It represented the biggest debut for an R&B album since Beyoncé's Lemonade.
Black Pumas - Black Pumas (Deluxe Edition)
It's not often a deluxe edition of an album winds up as a GRAMMY nominee, but that just speaks to the strength of the deluxe edition of the Black Pumas debut album. Featuring a diverse set of covers, expanded live editions of songs from the original record, and a couple new tracks as well, the deluxe edition clocks in at 90 minutes long, but will feel like no time has passed as you listen to it.
Coldplay - Everyday Life
Coldplay's double-album is the eighth studio record of their career as the band explored their avant-garde side creating a record that incorporates a wide-variety of genres. From classical, alternative, electronica, art rock, folk, jazz, gospel, Arabic, experimental, and pop, Everyday Life blends a mix of sounds.
Jacob Collier - Djesse Vol. 3
Jacob Collier's album is the third in his Djesse project as it sees him ambitiously removing any barriers to create songs where the sounds of R&B, Funk, EDM, Soul, Pop, and Jazz freely flow within one another.
HAIM - Women in Music Pt. III
HAIM's long-awaited third studio album is their most intimate and personal to date. The sisters prove their masterful songwriting ability throughout the record with songs that reach out and grab the listener's attention. It's also one of their most commercially successful records as it went number one on the Billboard Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums chart.
Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
Dua Lipa's second studio album is aptly titled as it simultaneously serves as a throwback with retro disco sounds all while blending it with forward looking dance-pop and electronic rhythms. The album yielded numerous hit singles including "Don't Start Now," "Physical," "Break My Heart," and "Levitating."
Post Malone - Hollywood's Bleeding
Post Malone's third studio album proved to be an immediate hit as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

Taylor Swift - Folklore
Taylor Swift shocked the world when she announced she would be releasing her surprise album folklore. The album was unexpected and a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancelation of her highly-anticipated tour.
