2013 was probably my favourite year for music since I started doing these countdown things. There's been so much great stuff around. Hopefully what follows goes some way to demonstrating that.
Note: As usual, an artist can only appear in the top 10 singles list or albums list, not both.
Top 10 Albums of 2013
1. Kanye West - Yeezus
2. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of The City
3. James Blake - Overgrown
4. Arcade Fire - Reflektor
5. Arctic Monkeys - AM
6. Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus
7. Janelle Monáe - The Electric Lady
8. Chance The Rapper - Acid Rap
9. Four Tet - Beautiful Rewind
10. Matthew E. White - Big Inner
You can also hear a sample track from each album as a Youtube playlist. It's a fairly abrasive listen I suppose.

9. Eminem - Rap God
10. Nils Frahm - Says
You can also hear all ten songs as a Youtube playlist. It's quite a poppy selection.
