The Freshman 15: 2016's Best Debut Albums
We are still a week away from our final, overall list of 2016's best albums, but our best of 2016 coverage continues now with a look at the year's top newcomers.
Below is our list of the 15 best-reviewed debut albums of 2016, ranked by Metascore. Note that albums must have at least 7 reviews—and be a full LP, rather than an EP—to be eligible for inclusion. Albums are ranked by Metascore prior to rounding.
(Third Man Records) Country music's latest rising star is 33-year-old, Illinois-born, Nashville-based Margo Price, who is the first traditional country signee to Jack White's Third Man label. Though critics loved this debut album (released in March), it was snubbed by CMA and Grammy voters.
