Posted October 22, 201212 yr http://imageshack.us/a/img259/7798/bannergsl.png Good day to you, Buzzjackers. Finally after, literally, minutes of calculations, checking and re-checking, the results have been prepared and will be presented on Tuesday 23rd Oct - that's tomorrow, for those who part take in a spot of light time-travel of a morning and have misplaced your bearings . 22 of you voted for 335 albums by 270 different artists. The Top 50 have a distribution in the following manner 2000 2 2001 2 2002 2 2003 1 2004 0 :o 2005 5 2006 4 2007 3 2008 7 2009 6 2010 9 2011 6 2012 3 There are frequent surprises. Some of the biggest bands of the century are shockingly absent. And, this being Buzzjack, many a female artiste has outperformed her male counterpart. The average points awarded to any album was 27. The Top band pulled in 3.2% of all votes (302), Top female, 2.36% (218) and Top Male 1.58% (146.) So...until tomorrow at 8pm, I bid you farewell. _____________________________________________ And just to give you something to talk about.... Which albums, do you think, have topped the following genres? Dance Female Singer/Songwriter Male Singer/Songwriter Rap Hard Rock
October 22, 201212 yr Mhm, wonder if any of my favorites will feature in this. Surprised to see so many coming from 2010, that was not a fantastic year in my memory (2011 was alot better!) As for the toppers of the genres, I really have no idea.
October 22, 201212 yr Kanye will presumably be the highest hip-hop act, I'm guessing with Dark Twisted Fantasy although in many polls College Dropout or Late Registration would push it close. Surprised at there being nothing from 2004, I always think of it as a vintage year. It also means my #1 hasn't qualified but I guessed that anyway with looking at anyone else's list in great detail.
October 22, 201212 yr I didn't get around to doing this did I? :( I do hope Sufjan doesn't lose out too much as a result.
October 22, 201212 yr Wasn't Funeral released in 2004?! Surely that should in the running for the win even! (and no DFA1979 either :( )
October 22, 201212 yr OH SHIT FUNERAL, I knew something from 2004 was a glaring omission. What happened?
October 22, 201212 yr I was actually gonna mention that I thought that was a contender to win (considering it came so far in that all-time favorite album thing) but then I realised it wasn't even included..
October 22, 201212 yr http://imageshack.us/a/img259/7798/bannergsl.png :lol: Who do you think you are, Deadmau5? Surely "Funeral" had made the Top 50, it was my number 3. :( Anyway, can't wait for the results.
October 22, 201212 yr Surprised 2004 has nothing in it when it pretty much kickstarted the rebirth of indie/alternative music in the chart, though I guess it's not really aged THAT well and it's hardly 'BJ alternative forum' type alt.
