MY 9 ALBUMS · THE FORMAT

My 9 Albums — The 3x3 Grid That Shows Your Taste

My 9 Albums is a simple idea with a strict rule: nine albums, one 3x3 grid, no explanations needed. The nine covers alone tell people who you are as a listener — what you grew up on, what you defend, what you return to.

The format took off in music communities like RateYourMusic, Last.fm, and Reddit, where sharing your "9" became the quickest handshake between strangers. This site is a free tool built around that one job: help you make a My 9 Albums grid worth posting.

Search the record library, place your nine covers, write a line about each if you want, and download a poster sized for wherever you share.
