The Countdown so far...
Later on, after the clock strikes twelve and this insane year of 2020 finally ends, we will know what the best album of 2020 is according to 147 of you lovely freaks out there. Those music fiends 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. And in spite of everything else, it has once again been a wonderful year for all sorts of heavy music, without any question. Amazing, stunning and incredible, the amount of great music being made around the globe. A huge bow for all those bands, artists and artieste!
And it seems the good stuff will keep on coming! Cause the pre-releases of January and February are a pretty darn stunning! As for 2020; 23 of the best albums made this year, made the Top 20 Countdown of 2020… But ofcourse you guys voted for many more great and magnificent albums. All of which deserve to be on all those personal lists. Cause they’re all awesome! And yes, we shall publish the Numbers 21 to a 100 in a few days. Probably on January 2nd… We will feature the personal lists of the HiVe team members; although most of those are already up on the Doom Charts page! And unfortunately, once again, there was NO album that holds The Red Lantarn this year. There was not one album that was voted for on the twentieth position of someone’s list and only once… But we shall mention a few of those bottom dwellers; cause who knows, it might just be your new favorite album! But before we tear up or start professing our love for this or that, let's run though the countdown one last time and prepare for fireworks, (if you're in a country where it is allowed) a truckload of champagne and the knowledge of who produced the Number 1 album of 2020 according to you voters out there! Thanks everyone and let's all make sure 2021 will become the best year ever! Or at least the best year 2021 can be! Heavy, loud and amazing!
