Top 25 Artists
This list recaps the artists I've followed most closely throughout the year. Different from the music lists, the prevalence of the artists themselves are most important in this list, although music and relevance through the year also plays a big role.
Top 200 Songs
This list will recap my 200 favorite songs throughout the year. A multitude of factors go into this chart, including general impact, spins and repeat quality. Songs from the later part of 2012 are usually eligible as well (especially if 2013 singles).
Late-Blooming Albums
This chart is brand new this year. I created it to pay homage to albums I discovered/impacted me in 2013, but have been around for quite a while beforehand. Previously, these kinds of albums were listed with the rest of the year's chart.
When it boils down to my Top 200 Songs, I will have a lot of empty space to posts some extra lists... so I shall! Last year, I did these lists in the form of an afterbash to my chart, but this year they will be posted in conjunction with the Songs lists.
