Don’t reckon there’s anything wrong with a band sending people to the direction of the forum myself

Just wait til I get The Golden Dregs mega fans on the case, then it’s
It doesn’t bother me either, although it is amusing to see Martha on 44% already

Tbf, it’d be nice if all the artists pushed it and then more of their fans will discover the other 20 albums (or become new members of our community, perhaps).
It also went out in an email to 7k Drowned in Sound Substack subscribers and a few other artists have shared it.
I’ll also do a promoted post on Facebook at some point

Fair enough. That will level the playing field a little bit.
Other artists have shared and have retweeted their quote tweets to DiS 100k followers (even if there’s an exodus and hardly anyone uses Twitter any more)

Also worth noting Martha came 6 in the albums of 2022 poll, so there are lots of fans of the album here

Should only be allowed if it’s not the worst album on the list

Billy Nomates hasn’t shared it so all good there
Just lacks any all structures align, apart from that seems fine.

Not for me my friend
Cacti is so good, but just missed my top 3 by a whisker. Any other year and it would’ve been a shoo-in.

Most prestigious prize in British music a bit of fun? I don’t think so!

Lots of new sign ups yesterday
Which means potentially half the votes have come from new users, so we can expect a big shift when regular DiSsers vote
Will be slightly annoyed if Martha win tbh

How do I get rid of that reminder banner thing?
Each voter can vote for three albums, but we only have a ratio of about two votes per voter.
One possible read from this is most people are voting for 3 and then we have about 90 users voting for only one album, which is rather close to both the number of new sign-ups and the number of voters for Martha in this poll.
I’ll remove the tinfoil hat now though.
