NME albums et singles de l'année

Tous les mois de décembre depuis 1974, le magazine New Musical Express fait un bilan de ce qu'il considère comme les meilleurs albums de l'année écoulée, il fait de même pour les singles depuis 1975.

C'est un panel de critiques et de journalistes indépendants qui travaillent au NME ou pour NME.com qui font ce choix.
