Top40: The Best Albums Of 2004

[MarkG]

Top40-Charts.com brings you a top40 list of albums which we noted as the most significant of 2004.

The following reviews contain the best of the past year (2004). As an independent online music source we have the priviledge to bring you the albums which we consider the best.

Not the most popular.

Not the best selling, nor the albums which the labels want to promote.

We believe this Top40-list of albums include every must-have-in-your-collection album of 2004. The albums within the years to come will make you proud that you own them!

We look for music as a shape of art and not as another consumer product.

In this year-end list which is compiled by Top 40 Charts for 2004 you are going to find albums from different countries without music frontiers (maybe some of them are unknown for many of you).
Our "year in review" sets as a goal to bring you most closely in today's music, close to all of them which are going to change the music future tomorrow!

The best of the best for 2004 without music frontiers:

well some of them are good albums but i think you should try to listen some french/spanish/italian music,and not only the most popular english albums.

We try, it's true. But the problem is this: the stuff of Top40 Chart (like me) who are preparing the reviews do not know these languages.
In our plans for the next year is to set two reviews with Top 40 Albums: one for the english-languaged albums and a second for non-english (total: 80 albums). But still this is an idea, we need more of your help, especially for countries which people are using Italian/Spanish and Portuges.

it will be so interesting ,but is not easy for latin market i think that you should take care of airplay also 'cause here singles not sell so much,singles sales are at best 5000 in spain,and sure that in latin america not so many singles can be released cause piracy there is so much important.

here in spain we have a board where every week the users we post our personal charts and with all the charts we make a multichart.

there in charts personales we post ours top20 without radio marketing.
