s'up Eddie?

Don't worry Titch, Eddie hasn't heard a full album since JJ72s debut. He just likes to act like a very unsuccessful Piers Morgan in a desperate attempt for attention.

Barny, are the 1's next to the artists how many people voted for the record? As me & JP voted for GBV I think? or is it only top 20s or something. I thought JP had GBV higher, I could be wrong... though after waiting SO LONG there best not be any mistakes of I'm going to start campaigning for Dunlop next year!

Some surprises, Janelle Monae only getting one vote. I did like the record quite a bit, I was just surprised at how universally praised it was, personally I saw it as a step backwards for her. Still thought someone other than Titch would have voted for it though. It only narrowly missed out on my list.

Sad to see nobody else voted for that Natalie Prass record, it was a real grower for me. I also feel Marta Ffion is being slept on, yes her sound has been done before so in some respects is unremarkable - but she has 3 minute indie-pop sound nailed, the sort of thing the soapbox of about 8 years ago would have lapped up. I feel if Horizen still posted he'd have been a big fan of that one.

Top 30s, aye. Sometimes I also find some cases where Id swear more people voted to it... but it might just be myself fucking it up

I never doubted you Barny, such a wonderful job you've done over the years.

Cool, just hope my record is still on your 2019 top5
