Stereogum still has some 2015 reminiscence on deck, but 2016 is fast approaching — and with it, dozens of highly anticipated new releases. Below, as has become our tradition, you’ll find a list of the 101 albums we’re most excited to hear next year.

It’s amazing how many projects from last year’s list are back here again, yet to be released. Our writers and commenters alike have rhapsodized repeatedly about 2015’s bumper crop of LPs, and the wall-to-wall quality this year is extra impressive considering our Most Anticipated list for 2016 could have easily included a blockbuster top 10 entirely composed of rumored 2015 albums that never dropped. Indeed, a lot of those repeat inclusions are clogging up the top of the rankings, but they’re not the only titles up there. In addition to the many intriguing projects that have been officially announced, still others have been taking shape in the studio. Based on the ones we know about, and what we’ve heard from a bunch of them so far, here’s what’s got us on the edge of our desk chairs.
