Re: Site update
Which means that unless Channel Orange drops, MBDTF will be #2 of the decade, not #1. Personally, I am expecting a slight drop for "Channel Orange". Probably to around 150 or so. I could definitely see Dark Fantasy being one of the only 10s albums to move up. Albums tend to settle into a ...

Re: Site update
Also, a question I've always wondered: what exactly causes an album to have a massive drop? Gains are made by making more lists, but I've never been able to understand the opposite. Are certain lists removed or replaced over time? A massive drop is usually the result of lists having been deleted. F...

Henrik, any chance you can tell us what the highest album jump for a non-2013 album is? 1,235 just how high of a spot leap, and maybe the ranking of said album? You can't fool me... ;) Aw okay, one more. How many new albums are in the top 500, and did any make any significant leaps to get there?

Not to toot my own horn, but it seems like I was at least somewhat correct. There are a lot of "Album artists" who are getting a great deal of songs added, which makes sense; you can't have great albums without great songs.
