Albums from the Year 2012 |
|
This page lists the top albums of 2012 in the
source charts. The way that the
various charts are combined to reach this final list is described
in the site generation page.
A list of biggest hit songs of 2012 can be found
here.
The companion site chart2000.com
provides an alternative (and better) set of charts of the top songs and albums of 2012.
The data gathered at this site focuses on music from 2000 and before.
The coverage for 2000-2010 is OK but after 2010 the number of charts
included drops dramatically. The results for 2012 should not be trusted.
