Endnotes:
-Attributions for the albums we selected for weeks 146-151 (and especially for albums 146 and 149, denoted with asterisks above) may be wrong, due to the logging site lacking records of any posts in the topics for weeks 142-150.
-Artist and album names as listed in their respective topics, and all usernames are written in full.
-Most absences are for users who didn't participate at all in that portion of Rank the Tracks' history.

Then felt like adding a self-indulgent little closing ramble you all should probably skip past:

From my dives into our archives, Id estimate that the number of users whove ever participated in a Rank the Tracks topic (by ranking an album's tracks, by commenting on an album, or by nominating an album) is roughly twice the total (41) who've gotten at least one album selected before above. It's been really neat to see just how much (albeit transitory) reach we've managed while maintaining a ~10-user core community - one in which several of us have stuck with almost the whole time, while others were regulars for a while before falling off or are regulars nowadays. (And then there's me, in whatever category you wish to file my participation and place in general)

Compiling the above data gave me the chance (one I took) to spin several past Rank the Tracks albums (and a few stray songs off other Rank the Tracks) I hadn't heard recently. This turned the process into my pleasure activity for the weekend, which in turn made me feel like I was fully celebrating the history of Rank the Tracks. Most were relistens because I struggle to take in lyrics alongside other activities unless I already know said lyrics well, though this did allow for a few far overdue first-time listens. Of those, I found Desired's Lovestory especially enjoyable! After missing the G-Darius Original Arcade Score's week, this also feels like my first chance to mention how compelling and absorbing it is for me - have been really glad to find music from it in my mind as I write this!

...anyways, our newest album selection process in particular makes me very happy, with its balance between well-known/acclaimed and obscure selections, its interplay between themed and non-themed rounds, and how robust participation in it has been. And it's just one piece of the processes behind Rank the Tracks that have kept this project going for so long, all of which is a tremendous credit to Fool - thank you so much! It's also a great credit to the regulars, and to our participants in general - thank you all so much! This tallying process turned into a project that reinvigorated my interest in Rank the Tracks, and I'm very much hoping to return on a regular basis (from next week on at this point).
