We hope you don't throw 2020 completely away because despite the absolute chaos this year produced, we received some incredible new music from it. What a year it was for musicians of color, queer musicians, local up-and-comers, and women!
Your love for music spanned genres and languages and countries this year too. Please, pat yourself on the back, you have excellent taste! Thank you for voting for your favorite tunes of the year.
