Muy buen chart! Realmente es una selección muy moderna de albumes, la mayoría son de los 90' hasta hoy. El top ten es bastante mainstream, tiene en su totalidad clásicos, y eso lo hace muy predecible. El resto esta realmente bien, con muchos tipos de musica marcaste una clara originalidad. Por otra parte, creo que también podes agregar música de tu país natal, ya que tienen una gran cantidad de artistas mundialmente reconocidos. En resumen, excelente chart, voy a estar atento a tus updates!
