This year had a ton of great projects. I wanted to keep it to the the top ten that I streamed the most. A few albums that I also loved but did not list were Brent Faiyaz's "Wasteland", FKA twigs's "CAPRISONGS", Gracy Ives's "Janky Star", Alvvays's "Blue Rev", and Angel Olsen's "Big Time".

My guess is that Omar Apollo is going to be my #1 streamed artist again on this year's Spotify Wrapped. I will come back and update this if that's the case. :D

Update: Omar was my #1 most streamed artist with 4,354 minutes. Yeah, IVORY had me in a chokehold.
