The Top 30 Album and Box Set Releases of 2021 (Editors Choice)

Here are the Now Spinning Magazine Top 30 Albums and Box Sets of 2021 compiled by Now Spinning Magazine Editor Phil Aston

Please watch the video above for the full rundown

The list is fairly fluid and some of the placings could change if I did these tomorrow! However, I hope you find it interesting and inspiring! I have chosen albums/box sets that I have either played a lot or I felt challenged me to open my ears to something new. As many of you know I love a wide range of music so this is reflected in the list.

Some of the albums listed may well get their own video later as there was so much great music to choose from.

So let me know what I missed out on and what were the best releases for you in 2021.
