Not yet! Of the ones that are already out, The 355 and Scream 2022 look interesting. I'm looking forward to the Batman movie coming out in March, and also Turning Red but that's being moved to Disney+

I enjoyed your number one pick, as well as Luca, Suicide Squad, No Time To Die, Raya, Judas and Black Widow Nomadland and Sound Of Metal were solid Nobody was ridiculously fun. That scene with the fight on the bus was so funny. Reminded me of Hobbs & Shaw in some way. I found Eternals to be one of the weaker MCU films but I still liked it

The first part of the Albums countdown is here. A little different this time https://dalekturret32.blogspot.com/2022/01/...21-prelude.html

My favourite mixtapes (since Haus asked in the beginning of this thread): Angel's Pulse by Blood Orange Trilogy by The Weeknd (particularly Thursday) Sad Night Dynamite by Sad Night Dynamite Caprisongs is definitely up there Hi This Is Flume by Flume Send Them To Coventry by Pa Salieu

"You Asked For This" and "You Signed Up For This" being placed next to each other is amusing to me Oh, and.I see "Every Time I Cry" on this list. I like that song too

Okay, now it's time for my Top 10 EPs of 2021: https://dalekturret32.blogspot.com/2022/01/...21-quickie.html

Before I show the EPs list, I would like to introduce a new category MIXTAPE OF THE YEAR This will go to what I consider to be my favourite mixtape of the year, pretty self-explanatory 2018: Bobby Tarantino II by Logic 2019: Angel's Pulse by Blood Orange 2020: Send Them To Coventry by Pa Salieu And 2021's mixtape of the year goes to Sad Night Dynamite by Sad Night Dynamite Sad Night Dynamite's self-titled mixtape takes elements of hip-hop and electronic and makes a gloomy atmosphere out of them in a similar way to Gorillaz, but parts of it also remind me of The Neighbourhood, who evoke a similar atmosphere in their works. There's also the welcome addition of instruments from other countries, such as a brief bouzouki.

It's starting everybody Top 10 EPs of 2021 Artists to follow in 2022 (maybe?) Top 25 Albums Of 2022 (late February) Top 10 UK Hit Songs Of 2022 (late March/early April. It's going to be later than usual as I have been planning on another countdown that has been in development since June) Top 50 Songs Of 2022 (sometime after the UK Hits list. elaboration is going to be unlikely for this one)

My Top 5 from the Sound Of 2022 list is ENNY, Yard Act, PinkPantheress, Priya Ragu and Wet Leg.

I'm not as enthused about worst lists as I was in the past, but I decided to check yours out. I like "Montero" and "Wid It". Thought "Way 2 Sexy" was okay, but wasn't a fan of "abcdefu" and "2k17".
