How Many Albums Is Too Many For a Favorites List?

Despite the year being less than half over, I already have nineteen (!!!!) albums that I know will make my Favorite Albums list. I don't usually share what those are until the end of the year, but they are so good, I can't NOT share them:

Belle & Sebastian - Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance
Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love
Kathryn Joseph - The Bones You Have Thrown Me and Blood I've Spilled
Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass
Esme Patterson - Woman To Woman

Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell
