Could we Pitchfork's decade charts to the site? I find that their lists, if not perfect, are certainly very interesting and distinctive.

I shifted this over to 'Suggestions' as this is sort of a 'site improvement' thing!

yes, think this belongs here. Personally, I'm in favour of more charts being added but I can't open the floodgates at the moment because I don't have time to add them myself. I might add something to the site to let people add recognised charts themselves from a list of reputable sources. I'll add this to the growing list of suggestions...

I know albummaster doesn't need any more work. Opening the floodgate to let "recognized" charts to be posted directly by members will allow dubious charts that don't meet the criteria, e.g. pitchfork.

So...does that mean your chart doesn't count either? Think


As for P4k lists, I'd be cool with it. It's a lot easier doing the "haven't listened to' button on BEA then going through the pages on pitchfork...

Same goes for every other list Smile That was what actually brought me to this site in the first place.


I'd be cool with making them if you want...if I even can and stuff Confused

Once I've added a tool to let people submit these, it should be possible (I just use a spreadsheet at the moment). I think it would probably end up being restricted to certain people and a chart would be hidden from view until it had been reviewed to stop the feature from being abused (there would also need to be a list of reputable sources and some better guidelines as to which charts should be included).

To be honest, there are more important features on the list at the moment, and I'd rather get those out of the door first than get sidetracked on something else, but this is something that will definitely be added at some point.
