Q 50 Albums of 2013

Oh my god... aliens!!

Arctic Monkeys top the Q chart of 2013, out on the #330 issue of the magazine. We also start to see some frequent high flyers: Vampire Weekend, David Bowie, Daft Punk, John Grant. No Arcade Fire here: did Q staff deeply hate Reflektor or did they simply make this chart before its late october distribution? If they care for this kind of lists, I guess artists should start considering never releasing an album later than september/october. Finally, Pearl Jam are in here, too. Old Seattle boy in me is happy.

Enjoy.

P.S. Other end-of-2013 playlists (Mojo, Zane Lowe, Revolver Mag, Rough Trade Shops, Amazon...): are here.
