#52 Best Album of 2000 Tournament: Week #1 Wrap-up
Hey folks!
We’ve made it through the first week of the Best Album of 2000 tournament! Congratulations everyone! Thanks again for voting — every match had more than 100 total votes, which is all I could ask for this re-vamped, re-booted, un-Twittered version of the Best Album Brackets. Not gonna lie, I’d like to see those numbers go up, but that’ll take time and work, and for now, I’m totally happy.
