Would have put Ari higher on my list if I thought there was a danger of her being in a tie with a fucking King Krule album

Glad Bartees cracked the top 50.

And aren’t the 3 at 53 actually tied for 51st? Pretty significant difference

If three albums are tied for 53, there should be no 54 or 55. The next album would be 56

Right I missed your post, it's going the wrong direction. I did ties from the bottom up, instead of top down. Fixing.

Thanks Timbo. Not trying to be a rude boy and I appreciate your efforts and general demeanor.

No worries! 

Gimme a min folks while I make sure everything is updated. First post should reflect updates tho, and sorry mookie , that means Car Seat Headrest goes up higher. 

Edit: All should be fixed now but please let me know if see any that aren't.

I heard that album was as good as the dua lipa album, maybe I’ll check it out.

[Deleted]

I forgot to listen to Dua Lipa - that was on my list.

[Timbo]

Top 20 and facts on the way, on my way to a meeting.

[teekoh]

There were so many of my favorite artists that I just didn't get to this year: Dirty Projectors, US Girls, Moses Sumney, Thou. All of those would have probably featured high on my list.

[mookie]

I think that Killers album may be the biggest surprise for me for 2020 music. I had written them off a few albums ago, but that is a really solid album
