A Rough Trade, Mojo, Uncut, Q, Paste listáit tartalmazó első eresztés, a Clash, Filter, FACT, fRoots, Songlines – már több esetben szakosodott – rangsorai, a kifejezetten metál listákat összefogó harmadik csokor, a többnyire obskúrusabb zenéket preferáló Stereogum, Gorilla vs. Bear, The Quietus, NPR Music listák, az NME, Rolling Stone, MTV, A.V. Club évösszegzői, a Popmatters, musicOHM, Wire rangsorait bemutató rész és az észak-európai popsajtót szemléző legutóbbi összeállításunk után ebben a körben az internetkorszak legbefolyásosabb zenei oldala, a Pitchfork, a legjobb brit zenei újságírókat alkalmazó Guardian, a Rolling Stone alternatívájaként funkcionáló Spin magazin, a legrangosabb elektronikus zenei oldalnak számító Resident Advisor, és az egyik legrégebbi múltra visszatekintő brit zenei oldal, a Drowned In Sound listái következnek. A PJ Harvey-féle Let England Shake sokadik trófeáját gyűjti be, Bon Iver kiszámítható győzelmet aratott, a Fucked Up punk-rockoperája is befutott az élre, elektronikus tánczenében pedig Nicolas Jaar volt a nyerő.
