To qualify for Best of 2024 charts, the albums considered should only be ones that were released between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024.

would be a very short list then! i think 7 of the top 40 currently are 2024 releases!

Am I right in thinking not a single one "this year's" top 40 actually came out this year?

i believe 7 of them are 2024 releases, and the rest are from previous years!
