😁 Thanks everyone! Glad you all enjoyed it!

Side note, this almost certainly would have had one of the three biggest % gains in rank if it had existed on BEA when the tournament began:

Not thrilled with our #1 - though loved our #2. It goes without saying that this doesn't take anything away from the tournament, baystateoftheheart ran the whole thing flawlessly, nicely done!

Absolutely nuts that our winner dropped a place to *checks charts* After Hours by The Weeknd lol, wasn't even in the tournament.

Appreciate the work Baystate!

Great tournament Baystate, went as smooth as possible. Would be interesting to know which albums are worse off now, agreed. Congrats to Texier and Fischman especially, also glad to see that my wildcard nomination wasn't too bad, I'll take the silver.

Like the #1.

Appreciate all the work Baystateoftheart. I still think having the Texier album come out of nowhere like that is wild. Makes things a bit more fun.

Kinda interested in learning which 4 lost ground.
