Wie in den vergangenen Jahren will ich an dieser Stelle die kleine popkulturjunkie.de-Tradition weiterführen, die Best-Of-Listen der großen deutschen Musik-Magazine zu veröffentlichen und eine gemeinsame Liste der Listen für die besten Alben erstellen, die Auskunft über die wahren besten Platten des Jahres geben soll. Sie errechnet sich aus den Einzel-Listen der verschiedenen Redaktionen. In die Wertung kamen diesmal die Print-Magazine “intro”, “musikexpress”, “Rolling Stone”, “spex” und “Visions”, sowie das Online-Magazin “laut.de”. Alle Listen findet Ihr unterhalb dieses Eintrags und außerdem direkt verlinkt innerhalb dieses Eintrags – die oberste ist dabei natürlich die Liste der Listen.

Hier ist also die traditionelle popkulturjunkie.de-Liste-der-Listen mit den besten Alben des Jahres. In die Wertung kamen dabei die Best-of-Listen der Redaktionen von “intro”, “musikexpress”, “Rolling Stone”, “spex”, “Visions” und “laut.de”. Für jeden ersten Platz in einer der sechs Listen gab es 50 Punkte, für jeden zweiten Platz 49 bis zum 50. Platz mit einem Punkt. Da der “Rolling Stone” wie immer nur eine Top 25 veröffentlicht hat, wurden dort keine 25, 24, 23, etc. Punkte vergeben. Nur vier Alben – gleichzeitig die Platten auf den Rängen 1 bis 4 der Liste der Listen – fanden sich in allen sechs Redaktions-Charts wieder, insgesamt kamen 177 verschiedene Platten in die Wertung.
