Here's my chart of charts, based on 132 end-of-year list, to a maximum of 50 albums in each list. It excludes lists made by a single person, and unranked lists of over 30 albums. 50 points for a 1st place, 49 points for a 2nd place etc, while unranked lists are given an average number of points.
The first figure shows the total number of points; the second figure shows how many lists that album appeared in (excluding positions below #50).
Note that there's a big gap points-wise between the Top 11 and the rest of the pack.
Short version: Kendrick walked it. TPAB was the only album to show up in over 50% of all lists (79 out of 132), and it also received 30 #1 places (its nearest competitor receiving just 8).

My best crit list find: DJ Sotofett. Vinyl duly ordered from Honest Jon's.
― mike t-diva, Friday, 15 January 2016 08:32 (eight years ago) link
Bringing in a heap of musicians and friends, DJ Sotofett has engineered a melting pot of sounds that brings in all sorts of rhythms and flavours, be it the balearic guitars for the intro track (named Ibiza Dub, of course), the super-fluid and euphoric drum jam on the D-Side alongside Parisian peer Gilb’R, or the authentic african vocal (Shouts to the Kambo Super Sound fam!) on what is probably the hottest riddim of them all: ‘Nondo’
hmmmm, maybe

the largest poll of 2015 tracks, starts January 26th on Triple J midday (less than 5 Hours time)
triple j's Hottest 100 2015 teasershttp://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s4393239.htm
After six weeks of steady voting, and a massive swell of traffic to the triple j website on the final day of voting on Friday, it's time to say: Happy Hottest 100 Eve!
With only one sleep to go until the world's biggest music poll kicks off for 2015, excitement levels are off the hook.
After spending the weekend crunching numbers and making sure every last one of your votes was counted, we can tell you that there were over 2 million votes cast this year.
2,094,350 votes, to be precise, pouring in from 172 countries around the world, from locations as far flung as Suriname, Zimbabwe, Bahrain, Serbia, and of course, in our own backyard.
There's already been plenty of debate over which of your favourite songs of 2015 are going to make it into the countdown. And to keep you guessing, we've put together some teaser stats. Can you pick the results from these lil' tidbits?
• More than 16,000 songs were voted for.• 54 songs are Australian (which is 54%, slightly down from last year's record of 59). • There's 26 Hottest 100 debutantes this year.• It's an upbeat year! The average BPM of the Hottest 100 is 123 (compared to 121 last year and 116 in 2013)

Most years I would struggle to name 15 albums that I consistently enjoy, but this year has at least 25.
