Had a look at those 100 albums. I've bought well over 300 records this year, only 1 on that list! I had seen another 10 covers and heard 8. That's taking into account receiving about a dozen pre-release emails a day.
It really brings it home how vast the amount of music being released is.
FWIW, I wondered where Sault - Rise, Lianne La Havas and Cleo Sol were on that list because they've been popular. Was the list made in June?

@Yukirin got a link to your shop?
I'll send you a link so I don't cause an issue with advertising on here.
This time last year my full time job was pretty dire so launched this with a plan to relive my Virgin Megastore years. Doom, Stoner, Fuzz niche - Heavy Psych Sounds, Blues Funeral etc. Then'rona happened and now I'm over worked in my "real job" (selling fitness equipment) and a 1yo killing the nights so havnt been able to grow the site as I'd have liked.
I'm not much of a creative writer so the plan for the blog side was to focus more on live music, start doing photography again, promote the site at gigs and do a pop up shop... Anyway, year 1 of the 5 year plan has gone surprisingly well considering.Not a huge inventory but it's growing and we have some more distros lined up for when I have more investment available.
Seismic have this site linked also https://www.loverecordstores.com/ might find a shop local to you, the scrolling on the 100 albums of the year page has given me an instant headache tho.
