As of right now, LAUV is in my number one spot, but a big part of that is because of just how much I’ve listened to that album so far this year. Phoebe is so close that it’s practically tied, and with more time, I expect her to take the number one spot. She almost did, I just felt like I had to reward an album I’ve been playing constantly now for months in my “mid-year” list.
