As 2024 nears its end, we have chosen to highlight 3 albums that truly encapsulate all that was released the year. With a year full of different talent, albums, and surprises, these 3 albums are some of the most popular of the year for good reason. As all of the country albums released in 2024 have their own amazing attributes and uniqueness, these 3 albums are highlighted due to their relevance and popularity.
F-1 Trillion is an album for the ages. Post Malone has made one of the most drastic changes in music, going from primarily rap and hip hop genre, then switching to a more rock approach in 2019, he began his country era in 2023 with several songs on his album, AUSTIN. With AUSTIN hinting towards a country switch, F-1 Trillion was inevitable as his new style was favored by millions. Post Malone released F-1 Trillion: Long Bed as a deluxe adaptation of this album. With so many notable country features, such as Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, Brad Paisley, Morgan Wallen, and so many others, this work makes a strong case for country album of the year. Varying so much from his past works, this album really showcases Post Malone’s versatility in different genres of music and is a great listen start to finish.
This 12 song stretch is a roller coaster of emotion as Luke Combs brings us through the life of being a father. This vulnerable album is dedicated to his children and is a relatable album for all parents in our generation. Backed by heartwarming guitar and ambience, these tracks prove differently than many other country songs nowadays. This unique aspect of Fathers & Sons is its dedication to portraying one concept and being a start-to-finish story album. As every song highlights different aspects of growing up and caring for children, this album shows a side of Luke Combs that is the passion people love to see. This openness to express such delicate and down to Earth topics makes this album a perfect representation of our year.
Megan Moroney’s second studio album, Am I Okay?, is a perfect follow up to her breakout album, Lucky, in 2023. With the album titled song, "Am I Okay?", being one of the most popular songs of 2024 and a prominent trend on social media such as TikTok, Megan Moroney appeals to all who have relationships and takes us all through the journey of all different feelings throughout one. This album is a journey, as it begins with her highlighting all of the positive characteristics of the guy she is with, however it brings us through the rocky road of the relationship as "Mama I lied" begins to speak on how she misjudged her relationship. She released a deluxe adaptation, Am I Okay? (I’ll Be Fine). This album is a perfect opportunity to experience this path of Megan Moroney, as well as relate to her stunning vocals and lyrics. We have no doubt that these two albums are only the beginning for Megan Moroney, as she has thoroughly made her mark on the realm of country music in such a short time.
