One thing I like about BEA is that it also contains a Large number of non Anglo-Saxon members who also recommand albums from their hom country. It's always interesting to discover albums from countries like Argentina or Sweden.
As a Belgian, ie inhabitant of a small country, I see that even a lot of non-Belgians give high ratings to albums of bands of my Home country.
So I think it would be interesting to include a top list (ex top 50) by country so that people can follow how their country is doing compared to other countries.
Currently you can filter it down to the Belgian albums in the top 10,000 but that's not a full list of albums or anything or particularly easy to find, but it's here: http://www.besteveralbums.com/overall.p...mp;cbid=-1 _________________
A chart showing how each country is doing with the capability to drill through to individual albums is a good idea, but doesn't exist at the moment. The nearest thing to this at the moment is the top ranked artists page which lets you filter by country.
I've just run some stats and the top 100 countries by rank score at the moment are:
