Run the Jewels has a slight chance at giving Fiona a run. It’s the obvious go-to hip-hop album for these lists. Don’t see it ending up number 1, mainly because it’ll likely be at the top of only a couple lists. But ‘Fetch’ may not end up being the far and away choice.

Forbes: Best In Music 2020

Forbes punked out and didn’t do a list. This is more like “the year in music” type thing. Though they do consider Bruce Springsteen and Swift the “artists of the year” and ‘Fetch’ the “album of the year”.

That number 1 from Complex may help After Hours with ending up in the top 25. But outside of more “urban” leaning sites, it’s still likely to struggle.

COS gave folklore such a glowing review, why would they rank it so low?

The critics really loved dua, I’m slightly shocked. I wasn’t expecting her album to rank so high on so many year end lists. And that’s it despite being released it Q1
