Album Of The Year 2020 – Jury Voting Results

The jury votes for “The Album Of The Year 2020” at Reggae Steady Ska are in.

And the winner is … “The Victory” by Alpheus (Liquidator Music)

Congratulations go out to Alpheus, his producer Roberto Sanchez and Toni from Liquidator Music for making this gem of an album happen.

Let’s also note: All in all, more than 40 different albums have received at least one jury vote, which means, lots of much appreciated quality albums have been released in 2020.

Shoutouts to all the artists and labels for keeping them coming. 

Disclaimer: There had been a mix up with one jury vote, which led to a later change in places between 4 and 8.

We want to thank the jurors for taking the time to do this. Please make sure to go to the jurors’ pages that are linked under their names. Their job was just to vote their five favourites. But they did so much more, many writing lovely comments.

Thanks to Charles Benoit, Michal Antoni Budzik, Peter Clemm, Darren Drouin, Mattie Eaton, Daniel Flores, Kevin Flowerdew, Grand Yoni, Jessica Lipsky, Jonathan Madariga Moncada, Magdalena Miszewska, Nenad Pekez, Martin Pressling, Sergio Rallo, Denis Romani, Siggi Seidel,  Marc Wasserman, Florian Weinknecht, Paul Willo.

This is how we counted the jurors’ votes: Each no 1 received 5 points, no 2 received 4 points, and so on.

Cheers to everyone for keeping on keeping on in a year like no other. Please never stop supporting the scene.

Peace and love!

Greg & Joachim
