Guardian, Best Albums 2010s (taken from 21st Century List)

[jdizzle83]

I thought it would be fun with all these end of decade lists to take all the 2010s albums from The Guardian's recent list of best albums of the 21st century and put them, ranked, into a separate list (makes it easier for comparing the rankings to the other lists dedicated to this decade).

1. Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2. Kendrick Lamar: To Pimp a Butterfly
3. Beyonce: Beyonce
4. Frank Ocean: Blonde
5. Frank Ocean: Channel Orange
6. Kendrick Lamar: good kid, m.A.A.d. city
7. Robyn: Body Talk
8. Kanye West: Yeezus
9. PJ Harvey: Let England Shake
10. David Bowie: Blackstar
11. Beyonce: Lemonade
12. Grimes: Visions
13. Sufjan Stevens: Carrie and Lowell
14. Frank Ocean: Nostalgia, Ultra
15. Kendrick Lamar: Damn
16, Vampire Weekend: Modern Vampires of the City
17. Grimes: Art Angels
18. D’Angelo: Black Messiah
19. St. Vincent: St. Vincent
20. The War on Drugs: Lost in the Dream
21. St. Vincent: Strange Mercy
22. Janelle Monae: The ArchAndroid
23. Lana Del Rey: Born to Die
24. John Grant: Queen of Denmark

29. Katy B: On a Mission
30. Charli XCX: Pop 2
31. Rihanna: Anti
32. Fiona Apple: The Idler Wheel is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do

I presume they'll be doing an actual 1 for the decade nearer end of year?

[jdizzle83]

I'm assuming they decided to do a best of the 21st century list in lieu of a best of the decade list, so I doubt they will do another one anytime soon.

I'm assuming they will to maximise clicks/advertising revenue

Why so early for the albums and films list? Could you not have waited till end of November at least and it would have been a proper 2000-2019 one? Will there be a 2010s list as well coming up before end of year?
