New Music Magazine’s Rolling Top Album List

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Welcome to the NMM Rolling 50, an evolving index of the best music released in the last 365 days. By aggregating our expert NMM Grade with the public Hype score, we provide a transparent look at the albums defining the landscape. When a record hits its one-year anniversary, it retires from the chart, making room for the next essential listen.

Welcome to the June reshuffle! We have a new #1 for the first time in 12 months! Olivia Rodrigo tops the chart and Turnstile’s Never Enough is retired after a 12 month stint in the top spot. You seem pretty sad… is completely deserving as arguably the best album of her career (amongst two other stella records) and lets see how long it can stay in the top spot. Additionally we have Vince Staples jump into the top five with Cry Baby an amazing rap record. We also have new additions from Japanese noise rock band BED and the new album from Muse.

This means we have legends like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Conan Gray, All-American Rejects & Sabrina Carpenter all just missing the list.

Retirees: Turnstile, Lorde, Loyle Carner, Skeggs, Adison Rae, Benson Boone and Olivia Lunny.
