Well, it's official. Adele is bigger than Radiohead.
At least that's how musicOMH's readers saw things in the first quarter of 2011 which, astonishingly, has already been and gone. As is our curiously geeky way round here we've made a list of what our readers have been looking at most in the albums section. We like lists. You like lists. Everybody likes lists. Right? And anyway, it's as good a method as any for looking back at some of the albums that have caught our readers' imaginations. Or something.
So. The Top 50 album reviews of 2011 Q1 is a chart of readership in our album reviews section between January and March 2011. Only reviews published in 2011 were eligible. Reviewers' names are included in italics, for their gratification. And despite appearances, XL Recordings did not bribe us to lock out the top of the chart. Honest. Here we go...
