A pretty strange 2020, I'm sure you'll all agree. In the circumstances, it's surprising how much good music came out of it, generally providing some light amongst the gloom. Below you can see our Top 20 staff picks of the year, with Makaya McCraven's rework of Gil Scott Heron's already classic 'I'm New Here' coming out a worthy winner. Get in touch with us if you would like a copy of our Albums Of The Year Magazine featuring our top albums of 2020, reviews, staff picks, compilations, genre charts, our ultimate Christmas playlist, plus guest picks. These are FREE in store and we're throwing in a copy with every order made through our website. If you just want a copy posting out to you:
