Stereogum conferma le scelte di NME.
Così Grimes, nel giro di poche ore, con il suo “Art Angels” finisce in testa alle TOP 50 Album 2015 di due istituzioni assolute del giornalismo musicale.
NME e Stereogum condividono anche la scelta della seconda posizione premiando entrambi “To Pimp A Butterfly” di Kendrick Lamar.
Per la webzine americana invece il gradino più basso del podio finisce a Carly Rae Jepsen e al suo “E”¢MO”¢TION” (per il New Musical Express invece medaglia di bronzo a Jamie XX con “In Colour”)
