2016 er så småt ved at gå på hæld, og det betyder naturligvis opsamlingstid. Når det musikalske år skal gøres op, sker det som oftest i form af rangerede lister rundt omkring, hvilket vi også selv har gjort her på sitet. Vores egen top-10 over bedste udenlandske album kan du tilgå lige HER, ligesom du kan tjekke vores top-15 over bedste danske udgivelser ud HER.
For os endte Beyoncés ’Lemonade’ med at tage guldet skarpt efterfulgt af Frank Oceans ’Blonde’ og Anderson .Paaks ’Malibu’. Inspicerer man de internationalt anerkendte musikmedier, ser det da også ud til, at flere af dem er enige i Beyoncés førsteplads – fire af de i alt ni, vi nedenfor samler op på, har nemlig rangeret ’Lemonade’ som etter.
Andre navne som Solange, Frank Ocean, David Bowie, Kanye West, Chance the Rapper og A Tribe Called Quest ser ligeledes ud til at gå igen mange steder – med undtagelse af Resident Advisor og Fact Magazines opgørelser, der i højere grad fokuserer på elektroniske udgivelser.
