Surprised “Born to Die” hasn’t cracked that list with all its longevity... thanks for this! Amazing to see Taylor creeping toward #1 among artists

iHype. - how is Taylor doing compared to Garth Brooks and Elton John?

I have her ahead of them. #4.

It would also be nice to show how many points each album on the list has earned compared to the last update.

Really excited for the 2021 update.

Any chance you might update this soon?  :)
