The Contenders: Part 3

Last round of albums that didn't quite make my Top 50 for 2024!

It’s Boxing Day. For me that means the Christmas get together with my side of the family. We visit Mr. Hart’s family on Christmas Day. It’s a short drive and it’s always fun, so I’m looking forward to it!

But first, I’m sharing the last round of contenders with you. The final fifteen albums that didn’t quite make the cut for a spot in my Top 50 Albums of 2024.

The Last Round Of Contenders

As with the first two contender lists, there’s no single reason any of these albums didn’t quite make the cut. None of these albums would have made the “possibility list” if I didn’t like them.

The Playlist

That’s it for the contenders. Tomorrow, I’ll share the albums that earned my Top 50-41 slots with you. I’m already excited about some early releases on 2025, but first we have to celebrate the best of 2024, right? Would love to know if any of the fifteen albums listed here made your best of lists!
