Thoughts...

I was looking at Pretty Much Amazing- that site would meet the Alexa traffic ranking criteria- and, it does have a collaborative team (with one guy running the site and contributors). So that may be eligible.

The Telegraph list was deemed not eligible, because it's not really about the greatest/best/most important, etc. tracks- rather the ones that defined the decade- a fine line in the differences for criteria.

Something like the Herald Sun is just one critic, so that wouldn't be eligible. Single-critic lists like Robert Christgau would be eligible.
