While the Beatles’ Abbey Road takes the #1 slot for the third year in a row, the rest of the list predominantly features 2011 releases from indie artists – the new wave of vinyl bands.

With all the releases that came out on vinyl in 2011, it’s impressive the Black Keys managed to get two albums on the list.
