^but that would make a change in the point system necessary, otherwise someone from Switzland would post 10 records, and someone from Korea maybe 6 and someone from Uganda 5, and then there would be those from Switzerland with 10,9,8 and 7 points in the list, therefore over-representing one country.
Or it doesn't even have to be their own country, but nevertheless, the point system only makes sense if people are expected to somehow have a common denominator

I like the idea, but it doesn't really fit the concept. We could make a special edition with world music, containing one chosen regional/world music album by each who wants to contribute (there won't be that many either.. I guess)

one more thing in general:
is it possible to make the posts of the others invisible?
There could be people, who would normally put one certain album on, say #4, but after reading through previous posts and realizing that their #1,#2 and #3 albums most certainly already made the list, put their #4 on the number 1 spot, so that it gets the expected missing points to also make the list. Or even put a different record by the same artist on there (one that's been given points before), just so that this artists makes the list. It would be an advantage for late-posters in comparison to those who posted early and didn't know how many points their favorite records need eventually.
Just saying..
