Past Ranking Chart - Suggestions - Forums : Best Ever Albums

I feel like I'm bombarding you with different suggestions, but I keep thinking of things that I feel could make the site even better... haha sorry. Is the past performance of different albums, such as points and ranking, stored? If so, I think it would be cool if, for each album, there was a chart button that showed the change in points (perhaps in standard deviations from the mean?) and ranking.

Thanks, albummaster!
And Gary, that looks suspiciously like your chart... 😉

Do you have any recollection of what the chart looked like back in this site's first year? (The top 10, specifically) I'm just curious. And it's fine if you don't remember that was a long time ago haha.

This is from 16th June 2007 (18 months after the site started):

1 'Revolver' by The Beatles
2 'OK Computer' by Radiohead
3 'White Album' by The Beatles
4 'Nevermind' by Nirvana
5 'London Calling' by The Clash
6 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles
7 'Abbey Road' by The Beatles
8 'Pet Sounds' by The Beach Boys
9 'The Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd
10 'The Velvet Underground and Nico' by Velvet Underground

Epic 😮

... and damn it! Those two Beatles albums are still joined together!

Wow, this is actually better than the overall top 10 now! 😲 And it's interesting to see that, even then, there was no Bob Dylan in the top 10, and that Dark Side was actually this low, and Revolver and The White Album was that high. And Abbey Road was ranked as the 4th greatest Beatles album at that time! It should've stayed that way.
