(Part 4 – June to August)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Our community of enthusiasts offers a selection of 100 albums that have marked 2020. All styles, all expressions, all artistic generations, all parts of the world, all corners of our local culture combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With few exceptions, music lovers love year-end lists, an opportunity to look back on all those months spent in a bubble. In spite of the increasingly exasperating, yet necessary, confinement, this time of year remains an opportunity to share one\u2019s best finds, in immediate company or virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of this Top 100 of 2020 is also an opportunity to remember that the PAN M 360 platform went public exactly one year ago, when our list of the Top 360 albums of the decade 2010-2019<\/strong><\/a> was released. It was our first major production effort, not bad at all under the circumstances! Despite its imperfections, it was a huge postcard for PAN M 360 addressed to its first users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of February 2020, we launched the full site, which has continued to grow ever since. At the end of 2020, we are very proud of our achievements, despite the enormous financial and physical constraints caused by the pandemic. We have exceeded a thousand album reviews, we have conducted nearly 150 written or audiovisual interviews, three performances filmed in full confinement, dozens of feature articles on the musical ecosystem, and much more. We\u2019re delighted to have quadrupled our circulation since the first quarter of our online release. It\u2019s still modest, but it\u2019s only just beginning… if you, the music lovers, join the PAN M 360 community<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So enjoy the best music from all over the world at this auspicious time. Happy Holidays! – Alain Brunet<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
