Catching up on the first 3 months of the year now! So this is for February of this year guys laugh.gif

The rules:


Contest window: Any album released in January 2021
Entry window: Usually probably the first week of the month or so, for this one I'll just go for a week from now!
The system: Choose any three albums released during the month in question in order of preference. The best receives three points, second best two points and the third best one point. See example below:

1. Album A (3 POINTS)
2. Album B (2 POINTS)
3. Album C (1 POINT)

There will be a tournament with the 3 top albums from each month at the end of the year.

So far through:

Bicep - Isles
Celeste - Not Your Muse
Arlo Parks - Collapsed In Sunbeams

London Grammar - Californian Soil
Taylor Swift - Fearless (Taylor's Version)
BROCKHAMPTON - ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
