About the List

bulletIncluded above are the 83 albums that had at least 5 countdown entries, along with the first and last years that the album had an entry in a list.  The list is sorted by the number of entries and then the first year the album had an entry.
bullet5 new albums joined this list in 2008.  The most notable is Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight, entering tied at #1 with a whopping 6 entries in 2008 on top of 4 in 2007.  I think 6 entries in a year for one album may be a record.
