Genius lists Top Albums of 2024, based on their data

One way to score a massive album this year was to put your title in all caps or no caps. Genius’ list of the Top 10 albums of 2024 as determined by the pageviews of their platform contains eight LPs whose titles employ such unorthodox approaches to capitalization. It’s like the only way to get people’s attention anymore is to shout or whisper.

It’s not even remotely surprising which artist led the way this year. Taylor Swift has been the most famous person on the planet for about a decade, and since the launch of her Eras Tour in 2023, she’s somehow become even bigger and more beloved. If she was enjoying an imperial phase before, now she’s now something like a benevolent global overlord. Just look at the last 12 months. In February, she won the Super Bowl, and then on April 19, she dropped THE TORTURED POETS’ DEPARTMENT, an album that ballooned to 31 tracks due to the day-of surprise-release of an anthology edition. It was a feast, and Swifties were very ready to dig in.

Eminem holds the second place. Labeled as one of the biggest comebacks in recent years, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200, making Eminem his 11th album to top the chart, tying him with Barbra Streisand, Kanye West, and Bruce Springsteen for the fifth highest number of albums to reach the summit. It also earned Em 8th nomination at the Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album, after winning six of them.
