Each December, after we’ve revealed Stereogum’s best-of-the-year lists, we flip our consideration to what’s popping out over subsequent 12 months. Relating to nice music we’re nothing if not grasping.
In compiling the 101 Most Anticipated Albums checklist, we begin with already introduced releases, then think about hints shared by artists on social media and in interviews together with credible on-line rumors. We omit something based mostly solely on wild hypothesis, so sorry as soon as once more Frank Ocean followers. Additionally, we’re not ready to name Rihanna a liar:
Twenty of the LPs from final 12 months’s countdown ended up inserting amongst Stereogum’s 50 Finest Albums Of 2022, so we had been undoubtedly proper to anticipate these. On the similar time, you’ll discover some releases under which have appeared on our checklist 12 months after 12 months with out ever materializing. Name it naïvety — or masochism — however this time we like our possibilities.
As for the way we arrived on the rankings, we thought of every artist’s earlier launch and, when potential, listened to superior singles from or a full promo copy of their upcoming album. Our survey will inevitably provide an incomplete image of music of 2023. Consider what number of shock albums are coming our approach, for instance. Or what number of King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard albums we needed to omit so the band wouldn’t monopolize the checklist.
Preserve scrolling after #1 for a number of hundred honorable mentions and, as at all times, tell us what you’re psyched about within the feedback.
