Icelandic album of the year 2011. The results are (nearly) in!

Thanks to everybody who took part. I've counted up 84 music-loving votes. I've checked and I've double-checked my maths.

27 different records (including a couple of E.P.s) received some love – I guess that underlines the breadth of talent around right now in Iceland. In a shock (!) development, 12 records have made it into the Top 10 (because 4 tied in 9th place). And, thank the lord, we had a clear cut winner and I do not need to make a casting vote. Tomorrow, here, I'll post the top 12 records as voted by lovers of Icelandic music. It's an exciting time!

For now, just as a tease, some of the albums which did not make the dozen most popular were by such awesome talents as Ólafur Arnalds, Vicky, Lay Low & some band called Sigur Rós.
