I've done a little research into this. Release date information can be pretty difficult to get on some albums that were slow in generating notice or for albums that were first released by a minor label that no longer exists.

Yes, we don't have specific release dates at the moment. Leaving that aside, I like the general idea, but I'm not sure how useful it would be, especially for the amount of time it would take to develop (even antiloopje posted back acknowledging this). For an artist discography it might be quite impactive, but for a chart, it could be very crowded (especially if there were 100 entries, and the chart only covered a few years).

I think it would be cool, but including images of the album covers is a little unfeasible. It might be possible with just the album names 🤔

Something like: (quick draw)

Note that LZ IV was released in november and DSOTM in march. Also note that, since DSOTM is higher ranked, it is bigger.

Obvlious disadvantages:

For these and many other reasons, I was only dreaming about it.

1971 - Led Zep IV 1973 - DSOTM 1997 - OK Computer - 2004 - Funeral
Like that, except obviously replacing the words with images?

so many albums are released in a year though. it would be massive.

... of a timeline. You know: an image consisiting of a timeline with selected albums (= from a chart) indicated on it. Preferably, the higher the album is ranked, the bigger it appears on the timeline. I know this would be damn hard to do ( you would for example need more detailed release dates + I imagine coding something like this would be hell), but it would be cool, I think.
