In 2018 I listened to more female artists than ever, without even deliberately trying to do so. The ladies killed it this year! Here's my top ten & honorable mentions of 2018!

CHIRP Radio Best of 2018

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2018. Our next list is from volunteer Eric Wiersema.

2018 has had its ups and downs but one thing we can all agree on is that it was a great year for music! This year I had the pleasure of reviewing over 85 albums for CHIRP's music department and listened to over 120 new albums this year in total. There was so much great new music this year and it has been very difficult to narrow it down to just 10 albums so here goes nothing...

CHIRP Radio Best of 2018

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2018. Our next list is from DJ and Assistant Marketing Director Mel Marquez aka DJ Stranger Waves.

This has been my first full year on the air with CHIRP and hosting my show on Sunday mornings from 6-9 am. I said last year that my aim was to showcase as many women, LGBTQIA+ artists, and musicians of color as possible because I think they can be underrepresented and their voices deserve to be heard. Looking back, I think I can say that I've really tried to do that. It's been a pretty great year for music and my list definitely reflects the goal stated above. I had a hard time picking just ten albums, but here are my faves of 2018 in no particular order...
