Top 40 Albums of the Decade

Just to warn you, this post is going to make me sound completely nerd-sauced.

In my insomnia, I compiled a list of my personal Top 40 albums of the 2k decade. I got the idea from a RT on Twitter by Gold Motel. Here's the formula I used to score the albums:

S = album score

P = total song plays per album

D = days the album has been owned, to date

T = number of tracks in the album

S = 100(P/D)/T

Basically, I took the average number of plays per song per album and divided it by how long I've owned it. Keep in mind that this list is exclusively for albums. If I were to include EPs and singles, some would make it quite high on the list.

Anyhow, without further ado, here are my Top 40 albums of the decade:
