2023 Totals: New Albums

Critics were asked to list 10 albums in descending order, with 10 points awarded for their #1, 9 for #2, etc. (On ballots where choices were listed alphabetically, each received 5.5 points.) The first bold number indicates total points; the number in parentheses is the tally of ballots on which an album appeared, which was used as a tiebreaker.

Albums are eligible here if all of the music was recorded within the past ten years (2013 and later), and if none of it is reissued. Reissues and previously unreleased archival music -- recorded in or before 2012 -- are evaluated in the Rara Avis category. (See FAQ for marginal exceptions.)

After the Poll was published, we discovered a mistake in entering Kurt Gottschalk's ballot. This has been fixed, adding 10 points to Art Ensemble of Chicago, The Sixth Decade From Paris to Paris: Live at Sons D'Hiver. This change advanced the album from 25 to 20.
