Future Nostalgia — Dua Lipa (2020)

Future Nostalgia is the disco-pop reinvention that defined a pandemic era, debuting at No. 1 in over 15 countries and winning Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammys. Its sleek production blends 80s disco, house, and funky basslines into a cohesive statement. While it ranks below Back to Black in overall influence, its cultural impact during lockdown was unmatched, selling 4.8 million units globally in its first year.
