Love seeing Let It Be at #2. But I'm pretty sure we already have this.

No MJ, Madonna, Presley, Wonder, The Who, Berry and Charles

I don't see it listed anywhere in this forum.

Are we good to go on this list, Henrik?

This list is already included, as "Neil McCormick, The Telegraph".

That list is listed as a 2009 list on AM though. Since this edition of the list includes songs like Lorde's "Royals" and Hozier's "Take Me to Church", can we include this list as an updated version of that previous list?

Oh, I didn't realize that. I will include it then. Thanks!

Henrik wrote:Oh, I didn't realize that. I will include it then. Thanks!

No problem, Henrik!

Just to clarify- is it that single-critic lists, in general, are OK for all-time general songs/albums lists, but not really for artists lists? The Post-Beatles list that Henrik said he'd include is a single-critic one, but he said he wouldn't include the Led Zeppelin one because it was a single-critic- is it because the post-Beatles one isn't just one act?

JR wrote:The Post-Beatles list that Henrik said he'd include is a single-critic one

I didn't see that. I won't include it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Okay, can someone clarify to me about when a single critic list is eligible for AM? It seems the answer is "only when it's in a published book" but then what explains this list's inclusion?

I include all-time lists from single critics, at least if it’s a fairly well-known critic. The rule to not include single critic lists apply to limited lists (end of year, end of decade, artist- and genre-specific).

The list seems to be updated in 2018
