Aight.

Not sure if anyone will be cheering here, but I suppose those are the results. Never thought I'd see the day BEA would deem a country album as their pick of the year, but here we are.

Glad to see the two highest gainers are lesser known picks, but I'm surprised to see Twin Fantasy there, especially considering it's a percentage.

All in all, thanks for running everything Baystate. Always a bit of fun. :)

I'm cheering 😎

Twin Fantasy went from narrowly #2 to narrowly #1 during the tournament, so technically a 50% gain in rank.

Want to give some additional shoutouts to:

- Con Todo El Mundo for breaking into the top 100 during the tournament
- Crave; The Road Is Just A Surface; You're A Shooting Star, I'm A Sinking Ship; and Y for breaking into the top 500 during the tournament
- Sounds Almighty for having the third-highest gain in raw position and making the final four

Wait... My nomination won something? Nice.

It was a fun tournament, and although I'm a bit disappointed by the final, there was a lot of great pics overall.

Personally I think both the Low and Kacey albums are two of the best of the year. And that Nat Burchill album was an awesome cinderella. Really like that Crave album too so psyched to see it be the biggest gainer. Reminds me a lot of The Cranes as I've said before.

Was also psyched to see Whack World make it so far.

Curious to see what year we choose next.

Thanks, Baystate!
