HAPPY NEW YEAR

DEAR GIUSEPPE
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE 'XL'-LIST
AS FAR AS I KNOW IT IS THE MUSIC-SPECIAL FROM 'LA REPUBBLICA' WHICH USED TO BE THE 'MUSICA'-LIST
THE 'MUSICA'-LIST USED TO HAVE 50 PLACES
DOES THE 'XL'-LIST ONLY HAVE 10??
THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE
STEFAN

Dear Stefan,
XL has replaced "Musica" in 2005 and it's began an indipendent magazine.
They've chosen to list only 10 albums this year.

THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWER
STEFAN
