About 20 with the overall, and about 30 with the forum one.
That said, while looking for the albums in the top 100 on my chart, I've noticed that most of them were from past decades. What I mean is that pretty few albums from the 2000s on my chart are in the overal 100, whereas lots of them from the 60s, 70s, etc, are. Even more confusing, the older the decade is, the more albums from it my chart shares with the overall chart.
Is it the case for you too? I was wondering why something like that would happen. Maybe the fact that we had more time to evaluate older decades make their "classics" more relevant than classics from the 2000s, which may still obscure other quality albums which haven't had the occasion yet to be considered "classics" by the critics. I don't know. I mean, I don't think I've listened to much more music from the 2000s than from the 70s. I don't know more "hidden gems" from this decade or whatever, but our 00s' overall just appeals less to me than our 70s' overall. Maybe that's just me, though, and I'm generalizing way too much. I'd like to hear what you think about that.

I think it makes sense. The fact that the "dust has not settled" yet on the 00's - it was less than 4 years ago after all. It would be interesting to visit this site after 20 years (sometime around 2033  ) to see what are the "critically" aclaimed albums of the 00's.

39%. But i wouldn't say I "strive for uncommon choices." I find my chart to be getting more BEA mainstream slowly but surely, thanks to the additions of OKC and Highway 61.

I would say more of an exception to the rule so far . You are the 2nd person out of 41 taken the poll that falls in the 51% - 75% - You are almost BEA mainstream, with a twist category.

I don't know if that means I'm interesting for being the exception to the rule or if it means that I'm so uninteresting that I'm interesting as a consequence.

For shame Sweden, for shame
