57 Albums Stats and Discussion
I used Rate Your Music to look up genres for all albums. Three were apparently so obscure to not even be on the website (CrossCode ~ The Ultimate Arrange, Taiten Mythologia, and The Strangest Frequency). Everything else had at least one genre listed; I took the first one.

Three genres had three albums represented:
- Alternative Rock (10,000 Gecs, Dead Silence, John Henry). I feel like this is a limitation of genre because I dont think these albums have much in common!
- Art Pop (Dead-End Apartment, Song to Fly, Vespertine)
- Indie Rock (Neck of the Woods, Parallel Timeline, Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?)

An overwhelming number of the genres were variants of Pop or Rock, with a few electronic genres mixed in. Some outliers include Contemporary R&B, Mashup, Neo-Soul, Plunderphonics, Spoken Word, and the hilariously named Television Music.

Not a single hip-hop or jazz album was nominated. Several albums had rap influence (and I guess also there were a few saxophones lol).

One artist had two albums: Green Day (American Idiot and Dookie). Cryptovolans, who appears on The Ultimate Arrange, can be considered to have 1.5 albums.

American Idiot was the only album Id heard in its entirety before the ranking, due to the aforementioned Rank the Albums.

There were no fewer than four concept albums nominated, probably more. I had no idea this was such a big genre.

Finally, heres a chart about release dates:

We can see that the 2020s were by far the most nominated period, followed by the preceding five years! Only two nominations are from earlier than the 80s (The Dark Side of the Moon and Time).

Okay, my navel-gazing is complete. First writeup soon!
