The Guardian Top 40 Albums of 2014

Another chart from a big one, UK The Guardian. And another chart with not many surprises: St. Vincent is #1, The War on Drugs #2, FKA Twigs #3, Aphex Twin #4, Caribou #5... The only non-predictable artist of the Top 10 is La Roux at #6. There is just one album not available on Spotify and that one is rather predictable, too: Taylor Swift's 1989. Interesting to notice how The Guardian writers generally rejected the "britpop solo singers formerly known as britpop band singers" category: Damon Albarn suffers at #28, while neither Morrissey or Thom Yorke entered the chart.

Enjoy!
