Fredrik's album chart






1998

This chart shows which is the best albums in 1998 on Fredrik's album chart. The chart is calculated by giving the #1 50 points and the #50 1 point on every chart. The best album in 1998 is Sheryl Crow 2nd album that entered the chart back in 1996 and have this year made it all the way to #1. Her latest album "The globe sessions" is at #34 and her first album "Tuesday music night club" is at #72. Interesting is that Rainbirds have two albums in the top 5 ("Making memory" and "Forever") and their greatest hits album reached #11. Note that all the three albums with Rainbirds made all the way to #1! The other two albums in the top 5 are by one other artist - Sarah McLachlan (Fumbling towards ecstasy and Surfacing). So in the top 5 there are only three different artists all have spent 52 weeks on the chart this year (meaning all year). My favourite album of the year "Siren" with Heather Nova is at #6 and if had been on the chart more weeks it would have topped the chart. The highest Swedish artists/group is The Merrymakers at #7.
