I have listened to a lot of albums this year. The truth is a lot of the albums I listened to were older albums. Albums I had an interest in checking out I finally did. There was one album that stood out to me as a whole that was released this year. 

Lady Gaga Mayhem

Lady Gaga has a solid catalogue of music. Mayhem, as a whole is a great album. It has multiple hit songs including Die With a Smile featuring Bruno Mars, Disease, Abracadabra, and The Dead Dance which was added onto the album. The deep cuts are just as strong. The Beast, How Bad Do U Want Me, LoveDrug, Blade of Grass, are just as good along with the rest of the tracks. It will be interesting to see if there will be any push for any other singles after The Dead Dance or if that will be it for this album. There are rumors swirling that Lady Gaga has another album cooking for 2026. I am excited to see where Lady Gaga goes next.
