i migliori dischi del 2024 per PopMatters

Un tassello pop si aggiunge al mosaico generale delle classifiche di fine anno. E’ la classifica degli 80 migliori album del 2024 secondo PopMatters, storica rivista online statunitense fondata nel 1999 da Sarah Zupko e orientata – come da nome – al pop, in tutte le sue sfaccettature, dal mainstream all’indie. Ve la proponiamo dopo avervi già dato conto delle classifiche 2024 delle principali testate musicali internazionali, rispettivamente Mojo, Uncut, Consequence, Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Wire, Ultimate Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Paste Magazine, NME (New Musical Express) e The Quietus.
“I migliori album del 2024 hanno sfidato le ortodossie, mescolato e creato nuovi generi e abbracciato una vasta gamma di stili e tradizioni musicali, pur guardando al futuro”, sottolinea il magazine americano nell’introduzione.
