not ruling out anything, and maybe at some point singles (in some sort of guise) could be added, but it's quite a big change and not something that would happen straight away.

As an extra point, there are plenty of artists who have amazing singles, but terrible/no albums/unknown albums or albums that are ignored because of the singles and therefore aren't in the database. Perhaps there doesn't need to be a best ever singles, but an option to add singles to the database?

Maybe users could do their top 5 or top 10 songs.

This would keep the focus of the website on albums but would be a nice extra for users and give an interesting insight to other members

yah, and it's #38 overall right now, which is crazy considering how more votes lead to a higher rating (as it's so new)

It's slowly going down in ratings. it was 88 before and now it's 87. it doesn't matter to me either way, but personally, I don't like the album you guys are referring to.

Pros(add to the list as you see necessary):people who listen to primarily singles will be more active

sounds to me like this should go in the "con" list.

Pros(add to the list as you see necessary): May increase database by a ton, people who listen to primarily singles will be more active

Cons: time consuming for albumaster/others who have to do stuff along the lines this, will take away focus from albums which is what this website is about, might attract the "unwanted"

I agree with keeping it album oriented.

Having songs or artists charts would ruin that, I feel.

Agreed. The fact that this this site is album oriented is my favorite thing about it. I'd hate to see this site attract people that don't really appreciate the idea of an album.

I understand why people might want this, and I confess that I also think something more should be added for singles and tracks (trying to pull together songs for the year tournament was quite difficult from BEA), but the whole basis of the site is albums and trying to fit this neatly into what is already here is very complicated. It just doesn't sit well at the moment, and there are all sorts of ramifications if this was ever to be done. I'm not saying it will never happen, but I don't think it's something that will happen in the near future due to the scale of what's needed.

I'm happy to keep this as an album site for the time being, and there's not many other sites that I can think of that specialise in this format so I think keeping in this niche also helps distinguish the site from other sites that are out there.

Hearing albums as full works has become so normal to me that I forget things like this.

Hi ! I know this is mentioned a lot ! A LOT ! but this is really exciting ! i mean ... we can have a "best ever albums" chart that is somehow close to the reality of the overall !
So ! why not have a "best songs ever" chart as something extra for best ever albums ?

hmmmm ... this is just a suggestion ! i'm new in this forum ! btw sorry 4 bad eng 😁
