albums

Albums are full-length music releases that allow artists to present a cohesive body of work, often exploring themes, concepts and musical styles across multiple tracks.

Since becoming the dominant format for recorded music in the mid-20th century, albums have shaped popular culture and produced many of history’s most influential recordings. From rock and pop to jazz, hip hop, folk and electronic music, landmark albums have defined careers, generations and entire genres.

While streaming has changed how music is consumed, the album remains a vital artistic statement for musicians around the world.
