Is this why the front page still says next update coming sometime in 2019 because it will continue on a community driven basis?

Re: EOY 2015 - Rolling Stone (USA)

I believe not all 80s are created equal. I think this is due to some sites/sources being looser with their ratings. At some sites 80 is an average score whereas others 80 is higher than normal so they compare average scores between sources and curve it accordingly.
