How is the final score formed? at the expense of what? here is 41, explain the accrual algorithm…
It’s through published year end lists! All of these critic lists have specific points to give out, and each album’s placement on said lists awards them a set amount of points per their placements!
Currently ‘BRAT’ is in the lead because it has 3 #1 placements on published year-end lists and multiple other high placements!
The whole point is that whichever album appears on the most lists appropriately should be ranked #1 by the end of the year.
Hopefully that makes sense!
