Best Albums From Countries other than the UK, USA or Canada
by bonnequestion 
I recently realized that the vast majority of the albums I own are from artists from either the UK, the USA or Canada. But last time I checked, there were more than 3 countries on Earth! There are a lot of good artists from all around the world that I don't know yet, and I decided to create this chart to help me discover them.
As you can guess, this chart is a working progress. I'll add more and more albums as I discover them in my quest to diversify my taste with music from all around the world.
