Analysis
From these charts, the change of listening habits is even more evident. The amount of albums listened has increased all the time but the portion of top 20 albums from all these has been declining. It is also worth nothing that White Light From the Mouth of Infinity by Swans has been in top 20 for three years. It's not a surprise though, because it's clearly my alltime number one album. Not just statistically speaking; it's definitely my favourite album of recent years.
