Acclaimed Music's Albums Treated as Artists

Post by Holden »

I went through the Top 100 Albums on AM and, using the formula that decides the Artist ranks on AM, treated each album as an artist to find its score with the songs in its tracklist (according to the RYM page linked in each album's AM page).
