The Countdown so far...

The Countdown so far...

Later on, after the clock strikes twelve and 2017 finally ends, we will know what the best album of 2017 is according to 91 of you lovely freaks out there who had the time and energy to send their list to us. We thank you once again, cause without you fellow freaks in the HiVe this could not be possible. It has been a wonderful year for all sorts of heavy music once again, without any question. So, in that respect it was a good year. And it seems the good stuff will keep on coming. 23 of the best albums made the Top 20 Countdown of 2017 but ofcourse you guys voted for many more great albums. And we shall publish the Numbers 21 to a 100 in a few days. And as such we shall post the tardy lists, the personal lists of the HiVe team members and the one album that held the Red Lantarn.  But before we tear up or start professing our love for this or that, let's run though the countdown and prepare for fireworks, a truckload of champagne and the knowledge of who produced the Number 1  album of 2017 according to you voters out there! Thanks everyone and let's all make sure 2018 will become the best year ever!
