The best albums of 2017 (update September 30)

The numbers presented next to each album title are the weighted average rating, and, in brackets, average and number of ratings (out of 31 included sources). The weighted average is based on a formula that includes a) the average of ratings and b) the number of sources that have rated the album.

The magazines I used for the ratings were:
EUR + Australia: Gaffa-dk; Gaffa-sw; Humo; Indiestyle; Jenesaispop; Laut; Mondosonoro; Musikexpress; Nojesguiden; Ondarock; Plattentests; Sentire Ascoltare; The Music
UK: DIY; Drowned In Sound; The Guardian; Music OMH; NME; The Line Of Best Fit; The Skinny; The 405
USA + Canada: Allmusic; AV Club; Consequence Of Sound; Exclaim!; Paste; Pitchfork; Popmatters; Rolling Stone; Tinymixtapes; Under The Radar

Highlights: These are the top three songs from the album according to Allmusic, Consequence of Sound, Jenesaispop, Plattentests, The Skinny, Beardfood, BostonGlobe, Nowtoronto, Entertainment Weekly, etc…

A lot of additions, falls and changes this week. Vagabon must certainly win the Pity Prize at the end of the year, because if I'm not mistaken it has gotten on and off the list several times now.

Hello Otisredding, I changed it

The highlights of Alvvays have disappeared, though.

Thanks for another great chart, OtisRedding! Looking forward to listening to Protomartyr and The Horrors in particular.

I think I may have found an error, though, either Alvvays' score is wrong or it should be higher in the chart:

84 - Alvvays: Antisocialites – 78,0 (74,3 / 23)
Highlights: Dreams Tonite - In Undertow - Lollipop (Ode to Jim)
Indie Pop



83 - Marika Hackman: I'm Not Your Man - 75,0 (77,0 / 15)
Highlights: Boyfriend - My Lover Cindy - Violet
Singer-Songwriter
