Noah Kahan overtakes Zach Bryan on the top Americana/Folk Albums for January 2024 with his breakthrough album Stick Season. It’s amazing how the indie-folk artist was able to build a connection between the listeners and his experiences growing up in a small town in Vermont through the album’s fourteen remarkable tracks that also express Kahan’s struggle with mental health, loneliness, and the mixed emotions about the hometown he was raised in.

Top Folk Albums: December 2023 | November 2023 | October 2023 | September 2023 | August 2023 | July 2023 | June 2023 May 2023 | April 2023 | March 2023 | 

While Bryan’s self-titled album is now on the second spot, his five other albums are still on the list. Truly, there’s no stopping now for the “Something in the Orange” singer.
