tracks poll obv better conceptually but also more liable to disappoint (not this year though) with multiple-placing artists, repeats from albums poll making it boring
albums poll - esp ILM's - often ends up being more interesting than you expect, albeit not always at the top
also, we live in times where albums dominate, where artists gear their work around the album where possible, across more genres than say in 2005; the scenes where this isn't the case (dance, dancehall, afrobeats) are still too niche to have a massive impact on this (or any other) poll

singles is always more fun for me and it's easier to react in the moment to the songs that i'm unfamiliar with, whereas things i don't know in the album rollout place and i'm like "ok i'll get around to that... one day" (this is definitely the problem with the metal poll, which i've barely scratched the surface of)

Albums poll rollout should be 10 albums per day over a full 8 days maybe?
