A little late, but I thought I'd start the thread for favourite country albums of 2020. Here is my final (I think) list. The top 2 are so, so close for me.
1. Gaslighter - The Chicks 2. Your Life Is A Record - Brandy Clark 3. Southside - Sam Hunt 4. Never Will - Ashley McBryde 5. Here On Earth - Tim McGraw 6. Here And Now - Kenny Chesney 7. Born Here, Live Here, Die Here - Luke Bryan 8. The Otherside - Cam 9. Fun - Garth Brooks 10. Starting Over - Chris Stapleton 11. The Way It Feels - Maddie & Tae 12. If It Wasn't For You - Caylee Hammack 13. Sometimes - Jamie O'Neal 14. Nightfall - Little Big Town 15. The Speed Of Now, Part One - Keith Urban 16. The Dirt And The Stars - Mary Chapin Carpenter 17. The Balladeer - Lori McKenna
Counting holiday albums and Taylor's albums, my list would look like this:
1. Gaslighter - The Chicks 2. Your Life Is A Record - Brandy Clark 3. Folklore - Taylor Swift 4. Evermore - Taylor Swift 5. Southside - Sam Hunt 6. Never Will - Ashley McBryde 7. Here On Earth - Tim McGraw 8. Here And Now - Kenny Chesney 9. A Holly Dolly Christmas - Dolly Parton 10. Born Here, Live Here, Die Here - Luke Bryan 11. The Otherside - Cam 12. Fun - Garth Brooks 13.

1. The Way It Feels ~ Maddie & Tae 2. Gaslighter ~ The Chicks 3. Bridges ~ Mickey Guyton (I'm including it even though it's an EP technically; it was listed as an album on her Wikipedia page when I first looked her up after the awards show performance of "What Are You Gonna Tell Her?" anyway. What a discovery. I love her voice and enjoy every song here to varying degrees. "Salt" is probably the closest to a least favorite.) 4. Chosen Family Tree ~ Kree Harrison 5. Love, Heartbreak, & Everything in Between ~ Tenille Arts 6. Copy That ~ Sara Evans 7. My Gift ~ Carrie Underwood (Only this low because it's original music v. Christmas music. Her voice is at its peak. My only criticism would be it's too short.) 8. Never Will ~ Ashley McBryde 9. The Dream ~ Hailey Whitters 10. Kelsea ~ Kelsea Ballerini
I don't really think of evermore or folklore as country albums.

Ingrid Andress - Lady Like Cam - The Otherside
I think those are the only two albums that I listen to the whole album regularly still. For some other 2020 albums, I just added some songs in my playlists.
