We've been over this before because it's important. All the poseurs praising him need to get a reality check. Cant believe hes almost in the top 10 in 30 years. It's embarrassing.

God I hope so. Even if Bon Iver is dead, he's not gonna stop making music, and I even love his stuff with Blind Boys of Alabama.

I think "The Suburbs" will eventually get top 20 if Arcade Fire puts out maybe 2 or 3 more albums.

The first album released after 2010 which will make the top 20 on BEA will be by an act which hasn't even begun recording music yet. 😄 The person or people may not even be 10 years old yet. Keep the hopes high.

In all fairness, we're about a third of the way through the 2010s. There are going to be whole new genres probably. Bands with members still in middle school are going to be putting albums out before this decade is done. I think we're about to hit a disco revival between the success of Daft Punk, Chromeo, suddenly Broken Bells is getting played nonstop ... god knows what could happen there. I think we'll get a few albums from the 2010s, and I would bet at least one of them doesn't exist yet.

As someone with autism whose family gives thousands every year for helping the disabled, I can genuinely say that betting on the BEA overall chart is like betting on the Special Olympics.

I imagine sooner or later we will have a 2010s album in the top 20, though it may not be until the next decade when we've gained some perspective. I could see Suburbs becoming a pretty canonical classic one day, for example.

Why so many topics about the overall chart? Who cares about the ovarall chart

I'm interested in the overall chart, not because it really effects my listening habits (I've heard most of the high-ranking albums anyway), but because I'm curious. I'm curious about the people that frequent this site and I'm curious about how their tastes compare to the world at large.

And I don't think this is a niche topic; in fact, it's one of the most relevant topics to the site as a whole that I can think of. It almost seems like some people get offended when their tastes don't gel with the majority, but I don't see why this should be. AM put a lot of work into making an algorithm that he thought was good aggregate of the site's visitors. I don't understand why so many people want to act as if it's irrelevant to the site. Nobody is (or, at least, nobody should be) claiming that it represents any kind of authoritative stamp of quality.

It's the same reason I care about the Rolling Stone list -- it's just another perspective on the music world.

This. They should all be deleted and if it's really such a big topic people wanna talk about, there should just be one Overall Chart thread.

it's not impossible anyway.If you make a genius band...

Shoot, Funeral is still climbing (as has been much discussed). Why couldn't something from this decade hit the top 20?

As you say, The Suburbs are close, and MBDTF is also in the top 100.

I think it may take a couple more years, but it'll happen, no question.

from a new band ? another arcade fire ? or radiohead will come back and release sth like in rainbows ?!

Ok let's take a look at the number of albums in our BEA top 20 from each decade :

1960's : 7
1970's : 5
1980's : 1
1990's : 4
2000's : 3
2010's : 0

Ok i know that this is really illogical and somehow a useless prediction , but i just wanted to know what do you think about our top 20 ? will we have an album from 2010's in there ?

maybe you'll say "ah it is always usual to see a top 20 full of classics" yeah but what about albums like funeral and kid a ? will the suburbs stay the album of the decade with the rank 40 ?

you know,i don't want you to predict.The reason is to see if there is still "hope" in music listeners to get something like kid A or not.
