I like that this site includes genre-specific lists by publications/sites that specialize in that genre. So, for example, AM has metal lists by Decibel and Terrorizer, and several jazz lists from jazz-based magazines. It's great because I believe those albums would be so much lower, if not totally ...

Since it has been expanded to a top 6,000 songs, it appears more songs may have been added to the bubbling under as well, is this...
