#131 Best Album of 2000 Tournament: Week #15 Wrap-Up
Hey folks!
Nothing too exciting happened last week, as every high seed came through as expected. (A little close with the Death Cab/Quasimoto match, maybe.) But that’s not what you’re here for, right? You’re here for that juicy, juicy, Prediction Bracket Top 20!
THE BEST ALBUM OF 2000 PREDICTION BRACKET TOP 20 COUNTDOWN
The top four remain the same from last week, but we some movement elsewhere, as several brackets move up 5 notches: You’re Pretty Good Looking (For a Bracket), I Made Our Wedding Band Learn “Our Way to Fall,” Good Fortune, kid stank, Rated R you serious?, 100 Broken Brackets and smart, handsome devil Kid B(eeson). Several others fell, but the biggest drops were from Drink Milk, Oh Neko, There Art Thou and Arthur Fonzarelli in: Kid Ayyyyyyyyyy!, all slipping 7 places. We also had four debuts: Crying at the Idioteque (#17), Every Pick In Its Right Place (#17), I’m Sorry Ms. Harvey, I Am Surreal (#19) and The Discovery of a World Outside The Polls (#20). This means we lost four brackets from last week: Your Grandchild is a Bracket, Not a Pay Check (#20), Oops!…I’m Losing Again (#16), O Twitter, Where Art Thou? (#16), and Will This Be The One? Perhaps! (all the way off from #4).
A note about the chart: the “High Pos.” column indicates the highest position that bracket has reached so far; if the number is in bold, it is a new highest position. Also, in the Weeks column, the current #1 bracket has the number of weeks at #1 listed in parentheses.
