Hey folks!

Below, you’ll find a link to a spreadsheet containing the nomination vote data for the Best Album of 2001 tournament. If that’s something you’re interested in, dig in! Otherwise, you can probably ignore this entire email.

The spreadsheet contains three parts. The first are all the ballots sent in via the nomination Google Form. The only identifying data in these ballots are the date and time the ballot was submitted; there are no names, emails, or any other means of identification. The second part lists every album mentioned in order of number of nomination votes. The third part lists the official 128 entries in the Best Album of 2001 tournament, along with the seed votes, nomination votes, and approximate seed based on nomination votes for each.

Here is the spreadsheet in Numbers (Mac) form.

Here is the spreadsheet in Excel form (converted from Numbers, buyer beware).

If there’s some problem with the downloads, let me know and I’ll figure something out. Also if, going over this data, you find something that changes or invalidates the tournament in some way, please — keep it to yourself.

Thanks!

Kent
