BEA/RYM Average 1978 Album Ranks by NickyTBlizzad 
A little experiment I’m conducting to see what how this website and RateYourMusic compare the album’s I’ve been listening to on the Overall Chart. I just take the average of the album’s yearly rank. Updated every month.
*TIES ARE DETERIMINED BY THE SMALLEST DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO NUMBERS*
Example:
Album #1
BEA: 5
RYM: 6
Distance of 1
Album #2
BEA: 10
RYM: 1
Distance: 9
Album #1 will be ranked higher than Album #2
if the distances are the same, then it comes down to personal preference
