10-1 to be unveiled Friday

Actually, 10-1 will be unveiled one album a day beginning on Monday, ending on Friday the 16th, according to the Guardian website. Not sure what the point of these gradual rollouts is, especially one as drawn-out as this (especially since most of the top 10 picks are probably pretty obvious at this point).

10: Tune-Yards - whokill

9: Rustie – Glass Swords

8: The Weeknd – House of Balloons

If I post another update over the weekend (again, as opposed to The Weeknd), it's going to include #'s 6-50 from this list, because for them to stretch out the reveal like this is ridiculous and the top 5 is unlikely to contain any surprises.

7: Metronomy – The English Riviera

6. James Blake - James Blake

5: Bon Iver – Bon Iver

No 4: Beyoncé – 4

3: Frank Ocean – Nostalgia, Ultra

2: Katy B – On a Mission

#1 -- Let England Shake -- PJ Harvey.

A real cliffhanger there.

This woman deserves to publish the picture
