Just a quick note that this is being entered under Noisey, the name of Vice's music section.

45 | Courtney Barnett | Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Fart 39 | Drake | Nothing Was As Bland As The Same No editorializing in the list transcriptions, please!

I'm assuming that the entry for The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time covers all six "Stages," as it does on the Spex list.

I saw the magazine and Big Thief's U.F.O.F. is #1 in the Album list.

Thanks!

Harold

Bruce is one of the few old rock acts that critics continue always giving some love. A big factor in why the album is doing so well, I think, is that Springsteen is actually taking a step away from his meat-and-potatoes comfort zone here - the arrangements are lush without (in most cases) being ove...

The intro says they've compiled a list of 40 albums. There are 39 (I checked the website). Gotta love basic math... Can someone keep an eye on this and see if they realize the error and add one sometime over the next few days? Unless they're counting 30 Years of Rage Part 1 & 2 as two separate albu...

Well...R.I.P. half of Roxette. Lead singer Marie Frederiksson has passed away, but musical partner Per Gessle is still with us.

If the songs list is explicitly labeled as being comprised of tracks not on any of the top albums, I'm calling Billie Eilish for the #1 album.

I'm surprised Ghosteen is number one even if it did have the highest average review score of the year; I expect NFR! will end up number one (especially considering its performance on end of decade lists). Spoiler alert: NFR! is indeed already starting to run away with this thing; I can't envision i...

I totally understand any Ariana bashing, and I can see how someone might be bored by the Jenny Lewis, but what's wrong with the new Brittany Howard? It's one of the most exciting, well-produced, and incredibly-sung releases of the year, in my view. I can see how Howard's vocal style and outsize per...

Harold

If someone had said, even five years ago, that this would be a Rolling Stone list, I would have thought they were crazy. Biggest surprise is Ariana at #1 - I would have guessed that any of the next three might have topped the list.

Transcription? Thanks in advance!

Harold

I assume there are 52 albums here because of The Caretaker. Can we confirm that these are the actual ranks from #1-#52 (i.e., that they don't have the three Caretaker releases tied at #35 or something like that)? Thanks. And, according to the list as posted on YearEndLists.com ( https://www.yearend...

Harold

Also, does anyone think it would be useful to come up with a standard format when transcribing the lists? If all the lists are transcribed identically, we could just paste the transcribed list into a tab in Excel and use equations to populate the spreadsheets. Henrik's the statistician, but I don't...

One additional note: I'll keep an eye on the EOY songs spreadsheet - any source that Ron includes will also be on my spreadsheet if there's a corresponding album list.

Harold

I've said this before but it bears repeating: I do the EOY (and EOD currently as well) albums spreadsheet as a favor - to Henrik, to this forum, and to myself (because I always want to be the first one to know what the top albums are!). I genuinely love doing this work, but it does take a lot of tim...

Monte, I've been including Double J on the spreadsheet for years. To save yourself some time before posting eligibility arguments, please take a look at the "EOY Albums: Sources" thread at the top of this forum. Any source that's listed in my first post there is already guaranteed a column in the sp...

Harold

+10 album reviews per month. It's eligible Your zeal is admirable, Monte, but please don't feel the need to take the time and effort to post links to album reviews to prove a source's eligibility. We trust each other here! If I do add this list, I will probably include only the 40 "pop" albums. Tha...

Alexa rank is below 1M, so it's borderline. Will consider but leaning toward ineligible (never heard of this site until now).

The website that two years ago did an article saying they wouldn't put Brand New in their albums list on moral grounds is happy to put Tool in their top 10 this year huh *looks at camera* If memory serves (I could be wrong), didn't the allegations against Keenan end up being given less credibility ...

@Herik @Harold do we have to make a different thread for albums and songs?

One thread per source, for both albums and songs, is fine. Thanks!

Forgot to add the Grammy AOTY nominees (and the Latin Grammys), and somehow completely overlooked the Mondosonoro list from last week (I need to add Decibel as well). These will all be in the next update (likely by the end of this week, at the rate the lists are coming in).

They usually post the rest of a top 50 list after unveiling the top 10 - can someone please keep an eye on this?

Harold

Question: The listing for #21 says "Todos los de Oh Sees y King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard." Does this mean that the entry is intended to cover the entire 2010s discographies of both bands? That would be 13 releases for the Oh Sees and 15 for King Gizzard. Sorry, but if this is indeed the case I ...

Harold

Just to clarify, this unranked list of 17 albums is their complete best-of-decade list?

Harold

A lot of great titles here, but to my tastes inconceivable to have a top 100 of past decade that includes dreck like Thank You Next or that god awful Rosalia album but is without Car Seat Headrest's Teens Of Denial, Parquet Courts Light Up Gold and Wide Awake, Swans The Seer and To Be Kind (though ...

Genius is not in any way, shape, or form a critics' site. It's best known as a repository (an amazing one) for lyric transcription and interpretations. It does not run album reviews at all, let alone the 10 a month that Henrik deemed the minimum (among other criteria) for eligibility. This is an int...
