....So here's my review of the first half of 2026. So far, for me, it has been a year rather short on standout moments. More or less disappointments have been the albums by Bruno Mars, RAYE, and Harry Styles. The latter at least earned the top spot on my YTD list thanks to his brilliant lead single. A surprising rescue came from Ella Langley, who managed to place three songs in the Top 10 — with the highest-ranking one being an album track. SLAAATER is the second breakthrough newcomer of the year so far. While this year's Eurovision crop was somewhat underwhelming overall, it still ended up producing two No. 1 hits. As for broader trends, it's hard to identify any clear movement, while CLUB is alive and well. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the most anticipated albums are probably those by Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, and perhaps Charli XCX as well—although the preview tracks have largely failed to make any impact so far on my charts.
