Did you get into Luther via Drag Race? Cuz I did the same thing, it’s been tough going trying to find a decent copy for a reasonable price though.

Honorable mentions (almost made it on my list if I distributed points differently):
Broadcast's Maida Vale Sessions (recorded in 1996 & 2003) has technically never been released would have topped my list but I left it out because its technically not new music.
Sly5thAve, Roberto Verastegui - Agua de Jamaica
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool it down
The Weeknd - Dawn FM
The Comet Is coming - Hyper dimensional Expansion beam
Your Old Droog - Yodney Dangerfield (this is too short but fantastic)
Wet Leg - S/T
Beyonce - Renaissance
Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez, See Your Future
 
My AOTY List!
1. Beyonce - RENAISSANCE (20)
2. CMAT - If My Wife New Id Be Dead (20)
3. Djo - Decide (18)
4. Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyes, See Your Future (18)

CMAT was my unshakeable AOTY for half the year so I wanted to give her some extra shoutout! But Beyonce really ran away with the #1 spot and it is one of my favorite albums I got to give AOTY. Djo and Denzel were solid 3rd and 4th places. Besides them I really didn't fall in love with too many albums this year, for the most part I felt whelmed by most new releases and many albums flat out disappointed me. I don't even know which album id give my #5 spot (possibly Anitta). The rest of my points are going to albums based on the time i spent with them according to Last.fm

Anitta - Versions of Me (2)
Mitski - Laurel Hell (2)
Lizzo - Special (2)
Carly Rae Jepsen - The Lonliest Time (2)
Kendrick Lamar - Mr Morale & the Big Steppers (2)
Father John Misty - Chloe and the Next 20th Century (2)
PUP - The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND (2)
Hatchie - Giving the World Away (2)
The Weeknd - Dawn FM (2)
Yard Act - The Overload (2)
Sudan Archives - Natural Brown Prom Queen (2)
Cheekface - Too Much To Ask (2)

Julianna Riolino - All Blue 20 points
Annie Blackman - All of It 20 points *
Alex G - God Save the Animals 15 points
Florist - Florist 15 points
Aimee Mann - Queens of the Summer Hotel 10 points (2021 release!)
Sadurn - Radiator 15 points
Regina Spektor - Home, Before and After 8 points
Sharon Van Etten - We've Been Going About this All Wrong 7 points

*The Annie Blackman is something I stumbled upon through Bandcamp and oddly doesn't even have a discogs entry. Doesn't have a vinyl release, just a CD and download option. It's an album that really has had a hold on me, right up there with the Riolino which is fantastic in a somewhat more developed way. Here's a link to the Blackman for anyone who might want to check it out:


EDITED to stick with only 2022 releases. ;)

I had no idea Mannequin Pussy had a new album. Good to see some Sunflower Bean love. They were awesome live.
