Albums of the Year: 2013 - Critic's Choice - 20-1

2013 has been a terrific year for music. What's your favourite album of 2013?

I've done a compilation of End-of-Year lists made by various Music Critic websites, sourced from Album of the Year.  All up, there are 41 lists.  There is a LOT of variation, with an overall 266 albums making the Top 20s of these various lists.

To make some sense of this huge list, my scoring is as follows:

• Ranked 1-5 = 4 points
• Ranked 6-10 = 3 points
• Ranked 11-15 = 2 points
• Ranked 16-20 = 1 point

So, what was the final outcome?
