So, The Independent, The Guardian, NME and The Daily Mail are the only big British ones left? Slightly surprised Mojo placed Fiona so high considering their merely solid review of album. A great percentage of Rough and Rowdy’s best reviews came from Europe. So, I’m not surprised it’s doing really well there. It’ll be interesting to see if it can land in the top three of aggregated lists.

That was the first thing that came to mind when I glanced over the list. As I mentioned, Rina needs to do at least decent on these Brit lists if she has a shot to make the top 20.

Lovely to not see someone’s overrated filler filled mess on the list. He rightfully should only be praised for that one song.
