Note that for some reason Use Your Illusion and Use Your Illusion I each have their own spot and each have enough support to be in the Top ~600ish. Shouldn't this be corrected somehow?

Why would older albums like Aqualung and Black sabbath make such big moves? You'd think the newer albums would be the ones that are more volatile.

Also The Smiths should never have such a big drop... Louder Than Bombs may be a comp (which I know some people don't like in charts) but those songs are not available on any studio album and they are fantastic.

So I'm not the only person on this site that actually likes them!

I don't mind them (although they are not on my chart).

It is one of the very few bands/artists that my old man likes that I don't mind listening to!

Always sad to see a Beatles album fall that drastically. Even if it is a greatest hits...

This list is exactly what the title says. These are the albums that have moved either up or down 100 spots or more since the beginning of this year. I thought it would make a good talking point to see how the legacy of certain albums has been affected in the last 10 months.

Note that for some reason Use Your Illusion and Use Your Illusion I each have their own spot and each have enough support to be in the Top ~600ish. Shouldn't this be corrected somehow?
