Recently to satisfy my idle curiosity I conducted a poll of polls for the top Albums of 2007. I looked across 19 different publications both UK and US, including Music Magazines, websites and newspapers. They are listed in the technorati tags below.
I looked only at the top 30 albums from each site, if there were more they were ignored, if less I started them at a higher number of points to give a closer weighting to critics top choices from each publication.
There were 201 different albums in total. I've only got time to give justice to the top hundered. The lowest scored 16 points out of a possible 570. The highest scored 354. Therefore at the lower end of the 100 you find some strange choices, but they may have come from a particular specialist publication such as Mixmag or Kerrang, but remember they would have come in the top 15 of that publication and might be worth a quick listen.
For those that are interested, scraping in at 101 (with votes from more than one publication), was Britney Spears
Without further ado I present the countdown from 100.
