P&J parallel: 2009 vs 1990
The-Dream = Guy
Maxwell = Neville Bros

not sure what you mean by "parallel". the-dream and max did considerably better in 2009 than those two in 1990, and the Nevilles had a top 5 p'n'j album the year before.

just that they filled v similar niches

i guess, though the neville brothers were far more of a critics band, with little to no pop/r&b chart action

Roots-rock-type voters way more likely to go for Nevilles than Maxwell - no comparison at all, as far as I can tell.

Somebody speculated, somewhere, that since the voting instructions for the first time this year didn't spell out the 15-14-13-12-11-9-8-7-6-5 weighting pattern, there would be a lot more unweighted 10-points-each album ballots. This didn't turn out to be the case, but I was waiting for a minor display-bug in the stats software to get fixed before adding the point-pattern breakdown to my list of slices. It's there now, for anybody really interested in numbers:
