    Thanks for the submission! I PM'd you a follow-up question

    We're up to four lists now. I voted early because I don't trust myself not to rearrange my list as I see others come in.

    Queen Fiona will reign supreme, regardless of what the numbers say! jk

    I have a list of about 15 right now. I just listened to the same albums over and over, and didn't listen to that many albums total. Do we have any idea if there were actually fewer releases this year considering COVID?

    All of my evidence is anecdotal, but I'm leaning toward ... possibly?

    Some albums were delayed. Adele is a big one I can think of. It was due for a September release and I think it's been shoved off indefinitely. It seems like a lot of artists don't want to put something out when they can't hit the road to support it. (Although Adele also said she's done with touring, so who knows the calculation there.)

    But then you have artists like Fiona Apple who were like, hey, everyone is sitting around at home right now, so it's actually a the perfect time to release a record

    Or folks like Taylor Swift, Charli XCX or McCartney who decided that since they had all this free time that they would come up with new stuff

    So my total suspicion is that there probably were fewer big-name releases because they want to secure the bag, but that opened the window to other releases that may never have happened. I can't imagine we get Folklore and Evermore if Taylor spent 2020 on the road supporting Lover, for example.

    I realized that without having to commute for most of this year, I've barely listened to any new music. I've really enjoyed Gleam III, Matt Berninger's album, Sturgill Simpson's Cuttin' Grass but I'm struggling to think what other new music I've listened to.

    What do we think about lowering the minimum number of albums to submit from 10 to five? Is it too late in the game to make that change?

    I was sent one list with five and another with seven (And DMBSUDigits posted 3, I see you! )

    I have been DESTROYED with FACTS and LOGIC!

    But also, I think dropping it down to five is fine. There are fewer regulars on the site than when we started doing this

    If folks were interested enough to send me a list, it feels good to include them

    Basically, I am no Billie Eilish. I don't like to the baaaaaad guy

    The opener on this album, the Roger Ebert song, is one of my favorite tracks of the year

    Thanks for the feedback on lowering to five!

    Do what you gotta do, as long as it doesn't screw up the math on the larger lists. My list will most likely be 50.

    I think longer lists still hold the power. The more titles someone submits, the more points each record below it gains

    For example, someone submitting a five-album list, those records are worth 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20

    On a 50-album list, each record is getting 100, 98, 96, 94, 92, 90, etc., on down to 2, count 'em, 2 points

    The top two are really starting to run away with it, but they are in a close battle for No. 1 — separated by ~12 raw points with 10 lists in

    I'll be out for a hike most of the day today, so if you don't get a list PM reply saying I received your list, it's probably coming this evening

    We shall see. Probably depends on how many lists Nick gets. I have Folklore in my top ten, but not Evermore.
