Another year goes by and it was... well, definitely different than the last one but still quite weird. The second consecutive Covid year was a rollercoaster ride of emotions where hope and despair went hand in hand and we're surely finished yet. Luckily, this resulted in quite outstanding musical releases which gave us much needed comfort and distraction in these difficult times. Today, we're honouring the fifty records that meant the most to us in the past twelve months.

It's been a turbulent and confusing year in many ways. But there's one thing the second pandemic year in a row hasn't been lacking of: plenty of good music to get us through these months of uncertainty between hope and despair. And for those of you who might have lost track in the daily storm of new releases we got you covered once again with a mighty list that includes those tracks that we'll connect with 2021 forever

Every Friday music fans are faced with the same burning question: What to listen to from the sheer endless sea of new albums, EPs and other releases? Don't worry, the people of NBHAP are here to help you with that. Our very own release roundup gives you a quick overview on the music that matters the most this week.

Ten years of music, ten personal stories. The writers of NBHAP are given the opportunity to resume the records that excited them the most during the past decade. This is a subjective reflection rather than an ultimate conclusion. Editor Louisa Zimmer now shares her favorites.

As this decade is approaching its end it is time for a little reflection on all the great music we experienced over the course of it. Of course, this is NOT an ultimate and universal Top 100 list. It simply can't be but these are the songs you should definitely give a spin before the decade is over. The second bunch of tracks include Beyoncé, Warpaint, Chet Faker, The 1975, Wolf Alice, Amen Dunes, Moderat, London Grammar and more

A musical outlet for those times when you just need to get a bit louder. Including music by IDLES, Shame, Ho99o9, METZ, Amly And The Sniffers, Deafheaven, HEALTH, The Soft Moon, Death Grips, Bully, Iceage and many more.

While many festivals are happening in your homeland or even hometown, this year we got the chance to took the plane and flying east – straight to the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca into the electronic wilderness of Electric Castle.

From old favourites to brand new talent - it's time for the ultimate reflection on the music of the past twelve months as NBHAP picked the ultimate list of this year's most important albums.
