This year, pretty much every big name artist released an album... to varying degrees of success. Vulture music critic Craig Jenkins listened to all of them (plus just about everything else that was released this year) and put together this list of the fifteen best albums of 2018.
15. The Breeders, All Nerve
14. Blood Orange, Negro Swan
13. The Weeknd, My Dear Melancholy
12. YOB, Our Raw Heart
11. Gorillaz, The Now Now
10. Mariah Carey, Caution
9. Sleep, The Sciences
8. Earl Sweatshirt, Some Rap Songs
7. Mac Miller, Swimming
6. Arctic Monkeys, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
5. Pusha T, Daytona
4. Kacey Musgraves, Golden Hour
3. Pistol Annies, Interstate Gospel
2. Low, Double Negative
1. Mitski, Be the Cowboy
Mariah Carey's tally of Billboard chart toppers is second only to the Beatles, and this fall's Caution, her fifteenth album, is a short, sweet reminder of reasons people love the diva (spoiler: vocals) and reasons to fear her wrath. Step out of line, and get memorialized in a hit single, like the poor souls who inspired the harsh "GTFO" and "A No No" must have. Play nice, stay put, and enjoy a shower of love and affection.
