This week we kick off our bracket competition to decide what was the best album of 2019! We had 4 listeners pick 16 albums to go up against 16 of our own. They will all battle it out until only 1 remains as the true album of the year. Tune in next week to see who survived the first round, and who didn't make the cut.
