Best Albums of 2020

Happy New Year! I am cautiously optimistic that 2021 will be better than that dumpster fire otherwise known as 2020. I hope that concerts will happen later this year (more like in the second half) but TBH I am not sure if indoor concerts should happen, even in the fall/winter (or if I want to even attend them considering how stupid many rat lickers there are in America and refuses to wear a damn mask in public). 

Anyhoo, 2020 was a great year in terms of music releases. Here are my 20 favorite albums for 2020.  A lot of music I listened to in 2020 was Kpop or some other dance/pop. I did squeeze in some symphonic metal as well as synthpop.
