Send your ballots to me as a PM. For your ballots, rank every album that you had a chance to listen to from best to worst. They will be ranked using a win-loss formula among only ballots that include each pair of albums, so not listing an album will neither help nor hurt it.

Voting will remain open until January 31st.

Romain: Wax Tailor - By Any Means Necessary

To be sure, the real title of this album is By Any Beats Necessary (unless I'm missing something).

At least in this region all albums are available on Spotify.

You are right.

[Jirin]

Sorry, something probably autocorrected and I didn't see it.

[Jirin]

Four ballots so far: My own, boosty, bonnielaurel and JamieW.

[Jirin]

One more week to vote.

[Jirin]

Received two more votes from DaveC and Spiritualized.

[Jirin]

Two more days to vote, still have six votes total. If anyone needs an extension of a few days to finish listening, they will be available.

[Nassim]

3 albums to listen to and one to relisten to. Don't know yet if I'll need an extension, but I'll vote !

[Rob]

I just send in my list. I find it hard to predict which ones will fare well in the end-result (I guess the favor the critics gave Kaytranada might translate to this poll as well), so I'm really exited to see which way this is going.

[Brad]

Mine will be in by Tuesday, still listening!

[notbrianeno]

You'll have a ballot from me by midnight EST!

[Kingoftonga]

I should have my ballot in by tomorrow - Wednesday at the latest.

My first impressions are that it's a very strong crop this year.

[nicolas]

I'll also send you alist, although uncomplete

[Jirin]

Will leave the voting open until Wednesday night.

[Jirin]

We now have twelve ballots.

To clarify since two people included it on their lists, Olafur Arnalds - Island Songs was not nominated.

It's a 8/10 album for me ! Very good choice Rob !

Try Ólafur Arnalds - Island Songs. Maybe it's can be your dope.

Romain nominated Wax Tailor, then recommended Olafur Arnalds to Rob.

I made the mistake of including it in the running nomination list before it was finalized, then realized my mistake and did not include it in the final nomination list.

Current list of ballots in case I missed anyone:
Me
bootsy
bonnielaurel
jamieW
DaveC
Spiritualized
Rob
notbrianeno
Miguel
Nassim
nicolas
Brad

[Jirin]

Received one more ballot from Kingoftonga.

Glancing over ballots without tabulating yet there are two that might have won. One is surprising and the other isn't.

I believe everyone who said they would vote now has so I will count votes tonight.
