NME ha espresso il suo verdetto più atteso.

Lo storico magazine musicale inglese cala i 50 migliori dischi del 2021 proponendo una lista tutto sommato poco propensa a colpi di scena eccezion fatta per la posizione più alta: trionfa Sam Fender con il suo “Seventeen Going Under” un album snobbato su altre importanti testate.

Per il resto ritroviamo titoli di artisti incensanti un pò ovunque: Dry Cleaning, Tyler the Creator, Little Simz, The War on Drugs, Turnstile, The War on Drugs, Billie Eilish, Black Country, New Road, Olivia Rodrigo, Snail Mail.
