Welcome to the New York Times Popcast, you are, I don't feel nothin', of music news

and criticism I am your host, John Caramannica.

You know who that was, it's Olivia Rodrigo, it's good for you, off of Sour, it's the albums

of the year, Popcast, folks, it's December, it's been a long ass year, it's just we fought

to yay, I will say.

And I have to be frank, when I was setting out to do my albums list, I was a little stressed

because I was like, I don't think I listened to a lot of albums this year to say nothing

of a lot of great albums, but strangely towards the end of the process, I realized that

I had listened more widely than I had anticipated and landed on a lot of really interesting stuff.

We're going to talk about that today, we're also going to talk with my fellow critics,

John Porellis, chief pop critic of the New York Times, here I am, Lindsey Zolladz is here.

We opened with Olivia because Olivia is one of two albums, the other being Tyler, the

creator, that appeared on all three of our lists.

Before we get into the Olivia record, how about we each maybe just quickly run down our

top 10, just to kind of get the words out there?

Should we do that?

Yeah.

Lindsey, why don't you go first?

All right, I'll throw some words out there.

Please, please.

For the record, we all had more than 10, but in the interest of brevity.

I'm going to build suspense by reading 10 to 1.
