Eligibility criteria for EOY lists

[Henrik]

These are the criteria to determine whether a new source is eligible for the EOY albums/songs spreadsheet.

1. At similarweb.com, either the rank should be within the top 1,000,000 or the number of rererring websites should be more than 100. Printed magazines that are devoted to music are always eligible.

2. It should be clear that the list was compiled by several people (minimum three) from the staff, or represents the whole staff somehow.

3. The source needs to publish at least 10 album reviews per month, and not just recommendations with a couple of sentences per album.

4. A radio or TV channel is eligible if it is a "main station" of a country (typically a public broadcasting service with a focus on music). The staff team requirement needs to be fulfilled but not the number of reviews.

5. No record stores.

6. No genre lists from non-genre publications. Printed magazines that are devoted to music are always eligible.

I think we can add the rules for video critics established last year:
minimum: 1 million subscribers and 150 videos of albums music reviews per year
