The best albums of the 2020s

The biggest albums of the 2020s, ranked by Era Score — streams normalized for how many people were on Spotify when each album dropped.

Raw stream counts can't compare a 2020s release against today's: Spotify's audience has grown every year. Contour's Era Score normalizes each album's streams against the platform's size at release, so this chart ranks the 2020s on even footing.
