A good friend of mine who had a look at the blog at one point said I was rather anal. Anal! Me, Norman? To disprove it on the last day of 2017, here's one more chart, a combined poll from the five I posted earlier this month, Mojo, Uncut, Q, The Guardian and my own fifty personal choices of Albums of the Year. Jane Weaver and LCD Soundsystem tallied the same points but Jane ended up on top as she was the only artist to feature in all five charts. Hurray For The Riff Raff being the only other Top Ten artist who featured in It Starts With a Birthstone's list. Seventeen in all of mine in here and all in all a chart that pretty well illustrates 2017 in terms of music! (Apologies for the layout which I've had problems with for some reason)
