Todo ano é a mesma coisa: dezenas de listas de melhores discos do ano e várias discussões sobre qual foi realmente o melhor álbum do ano.

Para resolver essa questão decidi fazer para o Next!, o grupo que faço parte, um “best of” dos “best of albums” de 2013.

As regras para a posição de um disco na lista são as seguintes:

1. Cada lista de melhores do ano que o disco constar ele ganha 5 pontos (ou seja: discos que constarem em várias listas levam alguma vantagem)
2. Cada posição que ele constar ele ganha 51-a posição. 1 lugar: 50 pontos. 2 lugar: 49 pontos e assim por diante.
3. Listas com 50 discos ou mais são pontuados de 50 a 1 ponto (50 lugar). Discos a partir do 51 posição não pontuarão).
4. Listas com 10 discos são pontuados de 50 a 41 pontos.
5. Listas sem ordem de preferência todos os discos ganham a média: 45 se a lista for de 10 discos, 25 se a lista for de 50 discos.
6. A pontuação final do disco é conseguida a partir da fórmula P= (S/n)+(5*n) onde P é a pontuação final, S é a soma da pontuação em todas as listas que o disco constar e n é o número de listas que ele constar.

Por que não é só a média? Porque se um disco é eleito o melhor do ano em apenas uma lista e não figura em nenhuma outra lista ele iria direto pro topo. Por isso a pontuação extra para o número de listas que o disco aparece.

O resultado final eu publico lá pra meio de janeiro, quando as listas acabarem.

As listas compiladas até o momento:
