Definitely, it has appeared on several EOY publication lists already I believe, and is eligible from all of the above criteria

Lucy Dacus - Night Shift is eligible? I voted for it last year. Same question and scenario for me about Sufjan Stevens’ ”Mystery of Love”, which is Gillingham’s number 1. Ditto for Taylor Swift - Delicate I'll allow "Night Shift" to be eligible given Historian 's release in 2018, and the ...

So for clarification, are EP’s fair game for album rankings or is that just for certain EP’s like Burial’s? All EPS count as albums :) Can I include this song? It's not from 2018 but due to "This is America" controversy, got some hype during last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBEID...

I can't fault anyone for despising one of my favorites when I have posted such open disdain for certain forum favorites. :lol: What I will say is that since Control , Janet has been very involved in the creative process behind her albums. Interviews with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (as well as Janet)...

Just to check, is anyone going to be running a 2018 Best Albums/Songs poll for the forum in January? For once, I seem to be on top on the year's releases and may even have a list ready by the new year. Only have the new albums by Anderson Paak, Rosalía, Daughters and Julia Holter to catch up on. Ho...

For all concerned, I am waiting until the end of the best songs of all time poll to begin my rollout

New Gang Gang Dance album after 7 years! Kazushita. This is almost certain to be my BMAA2018 nom. Not sure it’s Eye Contact level yet, but it’s very good. Less glitchy than early stuff, more melody oriented but with the airy otherworldness you expect from them. WHY have I never listened to this ban...

Also, for those who have not already, please include director and year of release in your lists, as it greatly speeds up the tabulation process

71. Home Fires I'm assisting Bleupanda with the tabulation at the moment, and it appears this is a TV series that was abruptly cancelled, and not a limited run series such as John Adams, and therefore not eligible.

The spreadsheet I used to calculate and posted here did not contain the years of the albums...a mistake I regret in hindsight

Don't think I had ever listened to as many albums on their release dates, but Car Seat Headrest, Ought, US Girls and Superchunk albums are all well worth the spin !

unfortunately i've found a small error in the results data, which combined with scheduling tonight means that I probably won't correct results/continue rollout until tomorrow night. Many apologies for the delay
