The votes are in: DiS readers' top 25 of 2007
The votes are in: DiS readers' top 25 of 2007
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver December 23rd, 2007

Cast your minds back, readership: at the start of November we invited you to vote for your favourite albums of 2007 from a shortlist of 50, selected by the DiS editorial team following weeks of debate and discussion. Our editorially ranked 50 can be seen here, but below we’re pleased to present the result of the thousands of votes received: the DiS readers’ top 25 albums of 2007.

The facts? Well, the number one record was head and shoulders above its nearest rival almost from the word go; the top ten fluctuated wildly over the course of the voting month; and our number 48 of 2007 is clearly a lot more loved by the DiS readership than the site’s core writing team. Not that we don’t love it, a bit, you understand.

The figures? As follows, from one to 25 (editorial position in brackets)…
