what the fuck is wrong with you guys

People voted for 4... not Sasha Fierce or B'Day, 4
I see Emancipation of Mimi managed to get it but is not as surprising as Daydream making it. Touchdown impacT in this comm is undeniable.

I will set myself on fire if he is nominated for The Life of Pablo.

Sasha Fierce is trash tho.
I will not hear this drivel against the album that houses SINGLE LADIES, If I Were a Boy and Sweet Dreams
4 does have 2 of my favorite love songs from her though.

Confessions On A Dance Floor (Madonna), The Fame Monster (Lady Gaga), Lemonade (Beyonce), Ray of Light (Madonna)
Fun fact, two of these albums were the most nominated of any.
I wonder what the last album is. Any guesses? I'll announce it (along with the winning three albums from the tiebreaker) shortly.

Hmmm, maybe
edit: probably not though, most of PopGAF is too young to remember its impacT
Oh wait, if 25 got in it has to be:
TFM could easily be one of the highest nominated albums.

LAST GROUP!
Born This Way (Lady Gaga), Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Kanye West), 1989 (Taylor Swift)
TAYLOR SWIFT AND CHRISTINA AGUILERA TIED FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE TIEBREAKER ROUND, KANYE WEST CLOSE THIRD. JANELLE MONAE AND GWEN STEFANI ROUND OUT THE TOP FIVE. WONDER GIRLS PLACE DEAD LAST WITH ONLY 3 VOTES.
WELL THAT'S COOL. SO WHAT'S NEXT MAMA?
I'm going to be randomly assigning these albums into eight brackets of four. Meaning, we will have eight preliminary matchups with four albums each. Of each four albums, two will advance to the next round.
SO NO CUSTOM GROUPS, LIKE SUB-GENRE/RELEASE DATE/ETC?
Nope, I decided to just put this list on shuffle and see what happens.
FIRST ROUND TO BE PUBLISHED AND ANNOUNCED SOON, SO STAY TUNED. THANKS FOR VOTING!

Wow @ the quality here. Didn't even have to vote for Kanye for him to be included. Thought u guys hated him.

not saying no to the tourney but you could maybe look at a better way. Cus the current scheme doesn't have people voting for their fave albums, it has them voting for their fave from a set which is very different.

I mean a tournament is never meant to gauge people's preferences in a linear way, it's much more context-driven, which makes it more fun. Lets you compare albums you didn't think of comparing before.
I could instead have everyone rate the entrants on a 1 to 10 scale, then announcing the final rankings. Thoughts?

I dont like him or most of hus music but that album is kind of special 😐
I can not at Shakira being snubbed and Marina being nominated with FROOT, I am pressed.

Go ahead with it soulscribe sis but when ARTPOP wins because it lost in the first round but beat The New Classic in the final lap I hope y'all will remember this moment!
thanks for doing this tho I didn't mean to come off like a bitch, it's a good community event
ARTPOP and The New Classic can't get in anymore tho?

Don't give it a second thought siS
A bracketed, single-elimination style tournament the way you originally planned it gets the kii and the tea flowing like no other.
And DESPITE the GLASSHEART snub, I'm elated you've brought some LIFE back into this dessicated thread
