Amazon.co.uk has released its list of the top 50 albums of 2013 so far. Compiled using reviews from a wide range of sources, including Pitchfork, NME, the Daily Telegraph, the BBC, The Observer, Drowned in Sound, Q and more, the list highlights the very best albums to fly off Amazon’s virtual shelves this year.
So who do you think makes the cut?
The top 10 is a great mix of all-time greats, in the shape of Daft Punk, David Bowie, My Bloody Valentine and Nick Cave, and new talent – with California debutants Foxygen securing the top spot.
