Every December, British music magazine ''NME'' compiles a list of what it considers the best albums of the year. It was started in 1974. The list is usually published in one of the issues sold before Christmas – in 2006 it was published in the issue for December the 9th. The companion list is NME single of the year. The NME Album of the Year list is compiled by the music reviewers and independent journalists who work for the magazine and for NME.com. Each picks his or her top 20 albums of the year and hands them in to the editor. An album marked at Number One gets 20 points, Number Two gets 19 points and so on until the 20th, which gets one point. All of the points from the various top 20s are then gathered together and the overall favourites are worked out and ranked for publication in the official list. The album with the most points overall is Number One in the list, the one with the second most points is Number Two and so on. There have been, to date, three artists who have won Album and Single of the Year in the same year: Joy Division in 1980, Klaxons in 2007 and MGMT in 2008. Cecil Womack and Bobby Womack also won Single & Album of the Year respectively in 1984. Sometimes, winners may change in the NME Awards. For example, the NME Album of the Year for 2000 was ''Rated R'' by Queens of the Stone Age, with ''XTRMNTR'' by Primal Scream in 2nd place, ''XTRMNTR'' was later voted the best album of 2000 however in the NME Carling Awards 2001. ==No 1 albums by year== *1974 - ''Pretzel Logic'' - Steely Dan *1975 - ''Blood on the Tracks'' - Bob Dylan *1976 - ''Desire'' - Bob Dylan *1977 - ''"Heroes"'' - David Bowie *1978 - ''Darkness on the Edge of Town'' - Bruce Springsteen *1979 - ''Fear of Music'' - Talking Heads *1980 - ''Closer'' - Joy Division *1981 - ''Nightclubbing'' - Grace Jones *1982 - ''Midnight Love'' - Marvin Gaye *1983 - ''Punch The Clock'' - Elvis Costello *1984 - ''The Poet II'' - Bobby Womack *1985 - ''Rain Dogs'' - Tom Waits *1986 - ''Parade'' - Prince & the Revolution *1987 - ''Yo!
