Ok everyone here is the first cut of the TAS Top 50 Albums. You will note that some have tied for position based on ranking score, so on these cases I have tried to find as accurate album sales data as possible, this is somewhat challenging to say the least, especially for Classical and some Jazz albums. If anyone can advise a good source for such info it would be most helpful, in some cases I have had to estimate volume sales based on number of releases and a print print of 10K copies, it should be reasonably OK in the scheme of it all. It would be most appreciated if some more people contributed and then we might get a better Top 50 overall.
Thanks for your help Martin.
Last updated 2 June 2021 - added Barrington's Top 50

Great effort, Adrian. I think I'll move this to a new thread when I'm at home as it deserves one.
Now to absorb the results...

Very interesting. For some reason I didn't expect David Bowie to do quite so well.

Only 20 got in the Top 50 that I voted for in Top 50, but a further 4 got in that I had put in my 51-100 chart. So it looks like I need to listen to some in the Top 50 for the 1st time, and re-listen to a a few and see if my opinion changes.

I've lost the plot on this. What is the Table a compendium of? You create a list of your Top 50 albums, any genre, if Classical then please identify the specific release, not for example Vivaldi- The Four Seasons (a particular favourite of yours) , it should be Antonio Vivaldi, Nils-Erik Sparf, The Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble* - The Four Seasons, LP, Album, BIS LP-275 (if it this one that is your favourite). If submitting Classical or even Jazz records it would be very helpful to me if you identified the total approximate sales volume, across all physical formats for the release, this will be used to adjust chart position if there is a tie between 2 or more albums. You send me your top 50 albums numbered please 1 to 50, and I will then incorporate it with everyone else submissions to get an overall TAS Top 50 Albums chart, the chart will change as people send in their Top 50's. Acceptable formats:- CSV file, Spreadsheet, or create it in GoogleTables and send me access link. Format should be Each entry should have Chart Position, Artist, Album, Sales #(if available and you want to be helpful) Cheers. Adrian

Thanks Adrian. I've been totally oblivious to this. I can't even find a recent thread about it
Or did everyone except me suddenly get a telepathic order from our alien lizard overlords to do this?

Ah, OK, telepathic alien overlords are not required after all. I dropped out of that thread before Adrian made his Top 50/100 suggestion.
