Thanks Romain and others for posting lists from new sources and adding Alexa info. However, please also check the "at least 10 album reviews per month". Thanks!

No problemo Henrik. I check and it's OK for "A closer Listen"

One question: what country? A quick perusal of the site indicates it might be Canadian, but I want to make sure I'm putting the list in the right place.

Tough one! From the staff bios, I counted...

Canada - 1
Egypt - 1
Mexico - 1
UK - 2
USA - 2
Unknown - 2 (I'm guessing one UK (Elgar) and one US (Starbucks))

So...perhaps include the source in USA&Canada but without any country specification...?
