About This Collection
Every year has its own flavor, but here at Audible we can always count on every year delivering thousands of new must-hear stories. How do we pick the best? We start with you, the Audible listener. We factor in your ratings and read countless reviews to see what you’ve been loving this year. Then, we listen, and listen some more (and more) before gathering to advocate for our favorites and do some collective soul searching. It’s an annual tradition that begins in January, and that always—eventually!—leads to a list that reflects the very best of the year. Our 2021 list is big and bold—100 titles from across all genres and multiple formats including audiobooks, audio originals, multi-cast and single-voice productions, and a top pick that has thrilled customers and editors alike. We wish you happy browsing and happy listening, and hope you find many stories to love among these top picks.-
