Wanda Fischer (WAMC & syndicated, NY) These lists are compiled and posted to the FOLKDJ-L web site every month (since October 1997). The archive of past Top Album lists is available at http://folkradio.org (Mike Yuhas' FOLKDJ-L web site) and also, in an extended version, at http://nwfolk.com (my personal web site). The process of compiling the Top Albums list is automated (I do hand correct some obvious errors and typos). The results are based on playlists posted to FOLKDJ-L during the calendar month. I wrote a pair of programs that work with the Eudora email program's filtering feature. One program parses each playlist as it comes in and adds it to a spreadsheet. The second program processes the spreadsheet into a readable report. Playlists have to include artist, song and album name (label is optional) and be in a reasonably regular format for my program to be able to parse them. My programs wind up identifying 60% to 80% of the songs actually posted. The number of airplays listed for each album is the number that my programs caught, which is smaller than the actual number. The Top Albums list is sorted in descending order by number of plays recorded for each album. Within an album, the number of times each of the more popular tracks were played is shown. If a single DJ is the only one mostly playing an album, the count of plays is adjusted downwards; otherwise the raw counts are used. The top 70 albums are listed.
