48 albums? They couldn't find two more to make it an even 50?

At least adding another album would fit within the newish, ad-riddled design of their website and help to ease those of us with obessive-compulsive tendencies. But nope, not even that!

Wondering whether I have the desire/energy to post all of their individual genre lists this year as has happened the last few...

SInce the genre lists won't be added to the spreadsheet, there's no urgency.

Well, well Harold. AllMusic have quietly updated their list to round it up to fifty entries. This is probably because both albums didn't have reviews before yesterday, though they've both been out for over six months. I've added them to the OP. See if you can guess which two artists/albums they are...



Let me know if you've updated your count for this list, otherwise I'll PM to make sure you get this.

The two new entries are the albums from Chance the Rapper and Niki & The Dove. Thanks, Matski!
