To compose the list, they gave three points for 1st place finishers, two for 2nd place finishers, and one point for those ranked 3rd-10th.
The Metacritic page is here: here. They list the individual Top 10 for each of the compilations they surveyed.
I'll update this if it gets updated and albums or their position here change.
Apologies if AP.
Thoughts on the list? Is it more accurate than individual Best Of lists?
Kamasi Washington's album is probably the weakest jazz album released this year. I hope that critics didn't give him high scores just because it's over three hours long. Also don't understand the acclaim for Kurt's new album; it's a watered down version of Neil Young. I hope he returns to psych rock sound on his next album.

That length is the thing that's been keeping me away from listening.
