NOTES:
•Voters were asked to list their top 20 albums; shorter lists also were accepted.
•Number after each album listed is the point-value assessed, based on a system of 20 points for #1, 19 for #2, and so on. Ballots in which all entries received an equal point-value were submitted unranked.
•Only albums released in 2007 were counted. Albums not released in 2007 were deleted from voters’ lists.
