From Charli xcx to Chat Pile: Guardian readers’ favourite albums of 2024


Tyler, the Creator’s ‘pure vocal power’, Jamie xx’s ‘sheer genius’ and Ashe’s ‘beautiful storytelling’ – our readers pick out the new music that has most impressed them this year

It’s Jack White at his finest and all I want for Christmas this year is the announcement of a 2025 European tour (preferably a few nights in Amsterdam’s iconic Paradiso!) Euphoric and anthemic, it captures the joy and wonder of life while hitting topical issues such as our tech reliance, the climate crisis, and conspiracy theories. We get a song about a love affair with a makeup artist at Carnegie Hall, as well as a tender, slower track inspired by James Joyce’s Ulysses.
