they count on jan 1st, 2016. but it isn't automatic, you have to save your chart again in 2016 for the scorer to activate on the 2015 entries.

I definitely wasn't expecting it, and although Carrie and Lowell is a fantastic album, To Pimp a Butterfly is better. It has more cultural impact and more significance. C&L definitely has a lot of feel and I love it a lot, but TPAB makes me feel like Kendrick is gonna change the world. Everything about the album is perfect. The poem tying all the songs together, the interview with Tupac at the end, the lyrics, The Blacker The Berry, and just everything about it gives me chills and definitely gives me the feeling that this album will be the next MBDTF, in that it introduces people to rap and shows them that it can be significant. I think they will switch places again, and I hope they do. They're both spectacular, but TPAB is better.

And just to throw my 2 cents in on GKMC vs TPAB I'll take TPAB. Not by a lot, but musically Butterfly is much more complex and interesting to me. Plus I hate 'Real' from GKMC. That chorus hook is just unbearable.


Off topic but whatever.

This site definitely has an indie bias, look at 2010. Literally every other music site on the internet considers MBDTF, a groundbreaking album that took hip hop production to a new level, to be the best album of that year (and maybe decade). Yet here, it's The Suburbs, a great record certainly but not very innovative, because BEA dickrides Arcade Fire. TPAB is BEA's real #1 because it has more ratings, a higher rating, and is on more charts. Once overall charts count, TPAB will be #1 two months from now. Both albums will be in the top 100 of all time by the end of 2016. I personally absolutely adore both albums and they're both in my top ten favorite albums of all time (C&L could be on my chart instead of Illinois sometimes). I prefer TPAB to GKMC because the latter, while a masterpiece, can sound a bit too trendy and commercial than what it's meant to be on a couple tracks and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts but it's still near perfect. But TPAB is the greatest album ever made in the history of music and 200 years from now Kendrick will be held in the same regard that Beethoven and Bach are now.
