The Desert Island Census

The census is just getting started. Once 50 people have taken part, the most popular desert-island albums will appear here.

Every week, people name the five albums they'd take to a desert island, ranked, and get them read by Freud, Jung and the rest of the panel. These are the albums they choose most. Counts are anonymous and only include people who opted in.

How the census works

When someone finishes a reading and leaves "Count these picks" ticked, their five albums and the order they ranked them in are counted, along with their country and, if they choose, their birth year. No names are kept. An album appears here once at least 3 people have chosen it. Updated every few minutes. Last updated October 7, 2026.
