How exactly do mixed-year songs/albums get dealt with?

Post by BleuPanda »

There seem to be a few songs that do great in two years, mainly due to coming out in December or so of one year and getting noticed in the next. For example, James Blake's Limit To Your Love did well in both 2010 and 2011. Azaelia Banks 212 did great in 2011 and is getting quite a bit of mention in 2012 as well. How exactly are these worked out?

My main reason is because I really love Limit To Your Love, and want to know just how affected it is by this split. 212 is also quite good.

Let's say that source 1 listed a song in their EOY 2011 list, source 2 listed the same song in their EOY 2012 list and source 3 listed the song in both their 2011 and 2012 lists. Then, for the alltime list, the 2011 list is used for source 1, the 2012 list is used for source 2 and the list with the highest placement will be used for source 3.
