How are they being measured as albums, when people stream songs? Will it not be distorted by albums with huge singles?
So far, in the first 70 or so, we've already many of the big studio albums you'd expect to be near the top ("True Blue", "Purple Rain") in the first ten and beaten by the Aladdin soundtrack. I think it might have been more interesting if compilations, greatest hits and soundtracks were excluded.
Will the full list be published after the countdown?
