Nik writesCHIRP Radio’s Best of 2024: Nik Hunder

CHIRP Radio Best of 2024Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2024. Our next list is from Substitute DJ and Discogs Manager Nik Hunder.

There was a lot to parse through this year and it wasn't always of great quality. I can't confidently say that some artists performed better than their previous records (including one on this list). However, I did listen to the greatest diversity of genres this year, a feat that seems to keep one upping it self each year.

I put this list off as long as possible because even into December, there are releases I'm looking forward to. I also got into many albums that were not released in 2024. To name a few: D'Angelo's Black Messiah, Rufus Wainwright's Poses, Pavement's Terror Twilight, Pearl Jam's Yield, and among many 21st century releases.

I managed to pick the CHIRP No. 1 record last year but don't expect any of these albums to crack the top 10 this year.

The Chicago Public Library offers every album in my 2024 Top 10 on CD or vinyl. I'm recognized on sight at my local branch, which was my cue to redirect some music-discovery energy to CHIRP.
