The best albums of 2020
previous years: MCCh 2019 - MCCh 2018 -
MCCh 2017 - MCCh 2016 - MCCh 2015 -
MCCh 2014 - MCCh 2013 - MCCh 2012 - MCCh 2011 - MCCh 2010 - MCCh 2009 - MCCh 2008



MCCh is based on reviews from critics worldwide. We consider all world music sites that meet these conditions:

- Qualified albums (with numbers, letters, drawings, whatever)
- They publish over 400 reviews per year
- This information is accessible online

Beware of imitations :wink:


The weighted average is based on a formula that includes a) the average of ratings and b) the number of sources that have rated the album.

For now, we consult these websites
The magazines I used for the ratings were:
EUR + Australia: Gaffa-dk; Gaffa-sw; Humo; Indiestyle; Jenesaispop; Laut; Mondosonoro; Musikexpress; Nojesguiden; Ondarock; Plattentests; Sentire Ascoltare; The Music
UK: Clash; DIY; Drowned In Sound (out); God Is In The Tv; Load And Quiet; Music OMH; NME: The 405 (out); The Guardian; The Line Of Best Fit; The Skinny
USA + Canada: Allmusic; Consequence Of Sound; Earbuddy; Exclaim!; Nothern Transmissions; Paste; Pitchfork; Popmatters; Rolling Stone; Spectrum Culture; Under The Radar

Very Important: You can help improve MCCH: If you know some web sources, please, let me know.

Ghassan, welcome to the forum! A couple of things: this thread is not for end-of-year lists, it's for the bimonthly year-so-far album list compiled by one of our members (Otisredding). There's another section of the forum dedicated to the end-of-year lists. And, this one has been posted already: http://acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewto ... =28&t=9527. Thank you for your enthusiasm, but when you have a list to post it's probably a good idea to check first whether it's already here. Again, welcome!

Yes, thanks OtisRedding! I always look forward to these updates and they once again introduced me to some good music I would probably have ignored otherwise.
