"2024 has been a bumper year for music releases—and not least in the pop arena, where new records from the likes of Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Tyla have all conquered the charts. In fact, aside from that Drake-Kendrick beef and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour juggernaut, this year's biggest music story has been the stratospheric rise of a new guard of pop sensations, in the form of Sabrina Carpenter (whose eagerly-awaited album drops this weekend), Chappell Roan (whose sleeper hit debut was in our 2023 best albums list), and Charli XCX (whose Brat summer just keeps on rolling).
From shoegaze to country, hyperpop to hip-hop, here find the Vogue staff's picks of the best albums of 2024."
