KAMIA ΕΚΠΛΗΞΗ δεν επιφύλασσαν οι λίστες με τα καλύτερα της χρονιάς για φέτος. Τα άλμπουμ που συζητήθηκαν περισσότερο στον μουσικό τύπο βρίσκονται στην κορυφή, με τα ονόματα των Fiona Apple, Dua Lipa, Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift και Bob Dylan να αναδεικνύονται στους πρωταγωνιστές και αγαπημένους της κριτικής για το 2020, ενώ από το χιπ-χοπ, το άλμπουμ που πραγματικά ξεχώρισε με διαφορά ήταν το «Alfredo» των Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist. Λαμπρές εξαιρέσεις, όπως κάθε χρόνο, είναι η λίστα του Wire και του Quietus, αλλά δεν είναι κάτι που προκαλεί και μεγάλη εντύπωση.
