Now that we’re reviewed the past year in music, we turn our attention to 2024 the only way we know how — with a too-long list.

We scoured our inboxes, trawled obscure forums, and liquored up publicists to learn what albums are definitely in store for next year. Then, as we do every year, we extrapolated from other available evidence to add a bunch of likely releases to that list even if they don’t have titles or release dates. So My Bloody Valentine and Sky Ferreira, both now more than a decade out from their last LPs, are included yet again. That’s a Stereogum holiday tradition.

There’s a bit of wishful thinking involved, but we do only include artists that seem like they’re about to release music — perhaps by teasing it on social media, referencing it in interviews, or coming out of hiatus to play new material in concert. We need something to go on, though; you won’t find, like, Turnstile on this list, as much we would welcome a new one from them.

Last year’s Most Anticipated had albums by Wednesday, boygenius, Olivia Rodrigo, and a few other best-of-2023 releases in the top 10 alone, so chances are there’s something below you’ll have fallen in a love with one year from now. We also expanded this year’s list from 101 to 200 to give you more to argue about. As for why things are ranked the way they are, in some cases we have advance copies, which is why some albums are placed surprisingly high, or low.

And after the countdown you’ll find an additional list of many, many more 2024 releases presented alphabetically. Reissues with unheard songs, EPs, and Lil Dicky go in that bucket by default.
