This week and last week week
In the final two shows of the year, and here in the final newsletter, I’m playing music from the Around the World Top 60 and publishing my Top 100 albums of 2024.
How the list was compiled
One point was allocated to each play an album got from November 2023 to November 2024. If I particularly liked an album, it was given a bonus point. This, of course, did not create a countdown, but as many albums received equal points, the list became blocks of five or six titles.
This means that albums released earlier in the year are likely to do better than those released later in the year.
The running order for this shows is here and the full list of 100 below.
