SoulStrutter's Top 100 Albums of 2021



The SoulStrutter Top 100 albums of 2021. These are original albums only i.e. no covers, remixes, compilations or reissues. They're not in order of merit, just chronological order of release. It would appear that October is/was a bumper month for album releases with 24 of the 100 being released then. The 'eagle-eyed' will spot that there are actually 101 as I've also included an EP from Ms. Kriss which is too good to leave out!
