Megacritic + RYM --- The Top Artists of 2011

I will continue through 2011 with my spreadsheet of positions from Megacritic and RYM, as well as a Spotify list.

Stefan's Megacritic remains as THE LIST of the most acclaimed music from the current year. Since my list is based on RYM ratings as well, it is not only a list of critically acclaimed music, and therefore I will just post the links here in this forum thread.
