Re: EOY Albums 2011: Update thread

If you can wait some days, I know the "Top des Blogueurs" will come soon (some days).


I went to the TdB website and did a FreeTranslation of the most recent post, from November. FT isn't exactly 100% reliable, but it looks like the folks behind the site decided to shut things down and not compile a list for 2011. If someone could confirm this, that would be great. Thanks!


Yes but if you go here : http://classementdesblogueurs.fr/WordPress3/2012/01/25/cdb-2011-episode-42/
you can see the "classement des blogueurs". They continue there list and the final result will be made next week I think.
They just stop the blog in the currently form.

Many thanks again, Harold!!!

I guess the big question after we've had our own poll is: Why wasn't PJ's album the most acclaimed in the US? (And why didn't she do better in the songs lists?)
