It's interesting to look at everyone else's predict-it brackets. It seems like almost every single one has the same match-up for Game 100 - The Archandroid versus Have You In My Wilderness, and almost 70% of the predicted brackets has one of those two taking the crown! Doing some quick math, that wo...

It is remarkable how much 2014 sticks out here. The more recent years I'd imagine have some degree of bias against them, but 2014 feels like it should be doing better? And then I look at its crop of songs versus other years and am forced to agree.

This is my true badge of honor.

Incredible year for music - it features my number 1 album of all time and all of my top 6 songs here made my top 25 of all-time when I last made a list. 1. Pink Floyd – Echoes 2.

This is an exciting day of releases after a somewhat sleepy start to the year: - New albums by Caribou and Soccer Mommy - New EP by Christine & The Queens - New singles by Jessie Ware, Kelly Lee Owens, and Lady Gaga Christine & The Queens EP sounds great on first listen. And apparently Disc...

Screamadelica is actually a great album. That was one of the most boring albums I've ever heard. XTRMNTR on the other hand... Both are damn near wretched, in my opinion I'm choosing to believe this usage of wretched is like when people used "that's so bad" to mean "good".

Seconded.

I'd also like to add Phoebe Bridgers - Garden Song

Just so you know, acroamor, it might be good for you to just remove my list from the rankings as of right now. It will likely change to a very drastic extent, not just like me changing around a few places but me starting from scratch. Oh, I figure everyone will be changing there's drastically. This...

I just thought I'd drop this here as a fun thing to look back on. I haven't input all of the lists people have provided yet, and I plan on changing the formula that I'm using, but this is what the top 50 would look like if we were unrolling the list right now: 1 The National High Violet 2 Kendrick L...

And now, here's the final copy of the spreadsheet. Feel free to experiment with it however you might like. I know some people have done "centricity" stats on each vote - i e, how closely their individual lists correlate to the master list - which I did not know how to do myself, but would ...

I accidentally listed Titanic Rising as my number 17 song when it was supposed to be Everyday. I think this would have probably moved it above Purple Mountains. I'll try to be more careful next year. Thanks again for the awesome rollout, and I think it's safe to say that our taste is better than th...

So for this sort of the list, I'm borrowing an idea from the Pazz and Jop poll (RIP). They dubbed it "Enthusiasm", and it's calculated by dividing the total number of points a song received by the number of people who voted for it. This allows you to see the divide between High Enthusiasm ...

Nice job with the rollout, acroamor! This is a fantastic top 15. What was the formula used? In my prediction, the only thing I got wrong was overestimating my favorite (cellophane), but looking at the results here, I feel like it does deserve the rank I guessed!

Thus concludes today's portion of the rollout. There's a possibility that I finish the whole thing tomorrow, but don't count on it.

Well, this is embarrassing. I discovered a small mistake in calculations, one that somehow just avoided affecting the top 100. Sturgill Simpson's "Sing Along" is actually at 101, pushing everything else posted thus far down a rank and pushing Kate Tempest's track out of the top 200. I will...
