It has been hectic 2018 to say the least, so forgive
me readers for I have sinned, it has been 6 months since our last SOUR 16, and our usual presentation of the 16 most popular albums of the
month. So given that I have failed to
deliver the chart for the last six month, I’ve decided to present not only the
most albums of the 7 months , but also the individual charts for the months you
missed. So by my reckoning that 112
albums for you to check out. So
apologises normal services is resumed, here is our TOP 16 MOST POPULAR ALBUMS OF 2018 SO FAR and the SOUR 16
(JAN - JULY 2018)
Here’s a quick recap, each month you the reader are unwittingly compiling a list of the top 16 records of the month, covering all genres of metal. Is it not a chart, in which reviewers or contributors extol their opinion about their favourite music. To put it simply, the SOUR 16 are the records that have been trending the most at SLUDGELORD HQ.
The
results are compiled based on the amount of page views the reviews have
received and are then calibrated into the list below. (Total views are highlighted in
brackets)
