The 2006 Music Bloggregate

Intro                                       Main                                       Chart





The Music Bloggregate is a weighted survey of bloggers’ published Top Ten Album lists. The 2006 version features 640 sources and contains mention of 1,421 titles.

Below are the Top 100 Albums, in order of Bloggregate ranking.  Clicking a title will take you to a page with links to all the bloggers' lists citing that album, along with links to (where available) the artist's home page, myspace page, and a link to purchase the CD.

The Albums page has an alphabetical list of all titles cited.




  • For the math, there are searchable linked Excel spreadsheets on the Main Page.

  • For those who don’t want to bother with Excel, the Chart Page has 8 .jpg files showing only the ranked results.
