It’s list season, so Niall and Andrea talk their favourite albums of 2018.
Rather than blurt out every album we loved, we look at our favourite releases under the categories of most disappointing, most surprising, most overhyped, best Ye album, Irish, hip-hop, pop, electronic, Irish, reissue, underappreciated, old album and more.
We looked at albums from Kojaque, Drake, Janelle Monae, Mitski, Cardi B, John Coltrane, Robyn, Caroline Rose, Rosalia, Black Panther, Arctic Monkeys, Car Seat Headrest, Jon Hopkins and how 2018 compared to previous years.
