Music I Bought in 2021

 2020 was not that great of a year for music buying for me. There was not a lot of releases that I was interested in. I think I only spent a couple of hundred dollars that year. 2021 was a totally different story. Like I have done in the past I have kept a record of the albums I bought and how much I spent. I actually spent $1,219.17 on music this year. A lot of the music I ordered online and from China or Japan so I was spending quite a bit of money on imported music but the music I bought made it worth the money. Here is what I bought for through out this year.
