Friends, it was not close
When I said one album was running away with it, it was Being Funny in a Foreign Language:
• Crushed the competition with the largest margin of victory in raw points between first and second place since The National's High Violet topped Arcade Fire's The Suburbs in 2010
• Appeared on 11 lists, the only album to hit double digits
• This marks the first time The 1975 has captured the top spot in the Ants AOTY
• Their previous high was #6 in 2018 for A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
• The fourth appearance in the top 50 in Ants AOTY for The 1975 (the 2013 self-titled album did not crack the top 50)
• They're our first new No. 1 artist since Taylor Swift in 2020
• One of two albums this year to receive multiple first-place votes (the other was Black Country, New Road's Ants From Up There)
• In a truly weird coincidence, it's the second consecutive year wvufan2010 and TwoStep2888 cast the only two first-place votes for the No. 1 album
