Consensus holds that 2016 was a terrible, terrible year. However, setting global politics aside for just a second, 2016 was an incredible year for music. It had it all: Blockbusters from marquee stars, returns from reclusive auteurs, and breakouts from an ascendant class of rookies.

Of course, 2016 still has a few more projects in the chamber—Drake has a “playlist” on the way, J. Cole came out of nowhere with new tracks and a documentary, and Kid Cudi’s return is imminent. But, for now, here are the 50 best albums of 2016.
