The 20 Best Albums of 2015
In the streaming age, it's become a tougher and tougher sell for artists to make complete bodies of work instead of a collection of singles when it comes to their albums. But the following 20 records aren't important because of the individual songs within them: They beg to be digested in their entireties.
From rock and rap to dance and K-pop, these are the albums we were listening to front-to-back again and again. Check out the Fuse staff’s picks for the 20 albums that mattered most in 2015, from A$AP to Adele.
Words from Jeff Benjamin, Zach Dionne, Jessica Letkemann, Jason Lipshutz, Maria Sherman and Mark Sundstrom
