Re: Is there a site that counts down how many BOTY lists a album has gotten on?
Well if you click on the album on AM you have the full list of lists it appeared on, the total figure is not written but I guess if you go through the top 5 of each year it's a manageable work and the albums with the most appearances should be in there. I'm looking for something like this website: ...
