[50 best albums of 2020 so far]( Hanh Truong [ 50 best albums of 2020 so far ]( [See full slideshow »]( Uncertainties have rocked the start of 2020, crushing promises of live concerts at venues and festivals. But today’s artists aren’t letting these aftershocks pause the show. The start of the new decade was blessed with so many fresh albums in various genres—from The Weeknd’s highly anticipated “After Hours” and the Strokes’ return with “The New Abnormal” to Rina Sawayama’s debut studio album “Sawayama.” While reality seems to grow more chaotic by the minute, these new releases are perfect for those who want to temporarily escape from the real world through retro-pop tracks and trancy synth beats blasting in their ears. Soundtracks for fantasies played out in the minds of daydreamers are also in abundance, as with the silky and emotional vocals by Teyana Taylor in her recent release “The Album” and RICEWINE’s experimental, lo-fi melodies in “Lovesick.” Through headphones or loudspeakers, these enticing sound waves wash away nerves and worries for just a few precious minutes. With so many new albums dropping every other week, it is easy to forget that almost everyone was just dancing to singles from Bad Bunny and Megan Thee Stallion three months ago. For those feeling nostalgic for the earlier months of 2020 (when life hadn’t yet turned 180 degrees), and for those who are looking for new tracks to dance along to in their bedrooms, Stacker created a list of the best 50 albums of the year so far, collecting data on top albums of 2020 fromMetacritic. Each album is ranked according to its Metascore as of June 23, 2020, with ties being broken by the number of reviews. New music has added color to the haze that has been 2020. Peruse this year’s best sounds—everything from sweet guitar licks infused with country twang, lyrical rhythm and blues, dreamy ballads, and the heavy distortion of hardcore punk.

While it might feel as though it’s been an inalienable right for as long as we can remember, it really wasn’t that long ago that women not only didn’t have the right to vote, but also couldn’t own land, travel freely, or work outside the traditional roles prescribed by society. And while the United States was one of the earlier countries to grant the vote, they were by no means the first, with countries such as New Zealand and Australia leading the way in equal rights for women. Other countries fell far behind the rest of the world in granting women equal voting rights, and many are still fighting against gender bias and cultural stigmas when it comes to equality for women. Regardless, women everywhere continue to make strides, make history, and make changes. And while there is still much to be done before all women can experience gender equality, there is no doubt that the women’s rights movement is alive and well today, and progress will march on for those rights. In celebration of the centennial milestone for the 19th Amendment, here is a look at women’s rights across the globe. Using news reports and historical websites, Stacker compiled a list of 50 countries, and when they gave the majority of women the right to vote. The countries are listed in chronological order. This comprehensive list not only showcases the dates women gained suffrage, but also how they did it and what their political standing looks like around the world today. Check out the timeline and see when women around the world earned the right to vote: You may also like: Defining historical moments from the year you were born Visit thestacker.com for similar lists and stories. © 2020 Stacker Media, LLC; Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC [Tweet It]( - [Facebook It]( More Slideshow World from ArcaMax.com - [States with the most seniors]( - [Famous protests in US history and their impacts]( - [State economies most and least impacted by immigration]( - [What hurricane season was like the year you were born]( - [Most popular baby names of the past decade]( [Click To Unsubscribe]( | [Customer Service]( | [Privacy Policy]( | [California / Nevada Privacy Info]( 729 Thimble Shoals Blvd. STE 1-B, Newport News, Va 23606 Copyright © 2020 ArcaMax Publishing [Facebook]( [Twitter](/ArcaMax)
