Even though most of us probably have newer songs from last year in our playlist, some still reminisce on years past. And with good reason in our opinion.

Travis Scott really put it all out there on his 3rd studio album. It was easily Album of the Year in 2018 so it really was a surprise when he didn’t win Best Rap Album at the Grammys.

Halsey’s 2nd studio album was a sonic masterpiece. The singer really outdid herself and the numbers her album did in 2017 shows just that.

This surprise release earned the ‘Rap God’ his largest streaming week in his entire career! Eminem’s album debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart with 434 000 album equivalents sold and 225.5 million on-demand audio streams in its opening week.

Another Drake hit. The star's 4th studio album won Album of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2016 and Top Billboard 200 Album in 2017.
