This page lists the top albums of 2021 in the source charts. The way that the various charts are combined to reach this final list is described in the site generation page. A list of biggest hit songs of 2021 can be found here.

The companion site the MusicID revenue site provides an alternative (and clearly better) set of charts of the top songs and albums of 2021. The data gathered at this site focuses on music from 2000 and before. The coverage for 2000-2010 is OK but after 2010 the number of charts included drops dramatically. The way year end summary charts are generated externally means that less recent data is available, so the results here are not to be trusted.

The top ten album artists of 2021 were:
