It will take something special to dethrone Dua Lipa from the top of my list. To me, Future Nostalgia is a dance-pop delight that is as good as Madonna at her peak in the 80s. And it has played a massive part in keeping me sane in 2020. 1 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91n2107XigL._SS500_.jpg Du...
