It's long been a rule on this website that EPs are not considered albums in the same way that LPs are. There's the strict rule that an album can only be added if: 1) It contains more than 4 tracks, or 2) Is at least 20 minutes in length. But it seems with each passing year, especially in the era of widespread digital streaming platforms, many artists are releasing LPs less and instead releasing consistent EPs and mixtapes that never amount to an LP. The songs are meant just for those small albums, and they often don't become tracks on LPs. As I've noticed this being a more consistent circumstance, it's made me question the rule of not allowing EPs to be in charts. It's keeping a sufficient number of artists/tracks/art out of the database, and it seems unfair to restrict them from the site. I know I would like to rank and organize some music from EPs for myself.

Does anyone else feel similarly? I'd like to open a discussion regarding the restriction of said albums and whether or not the restriction should continue.

Shouldn't this be in the "Suggestions" forum?
