This is a list of the Top 20 altrockchick reviews of all time (2011-2026), based on reader visits, updated on October 11, 2026
The list does not include my most-read posts. That honor belongs to my four-episode erotic biography. Each episode earned more than double the hits of the top-read review. I had to take it down because some people interpreted the series as an advertisement for illegal services and I found my inbox filled with sleazy propositions.
It’s important to remember that the list is based entirely on reader interest and is not a compilation of what I consider my best work. In the end, the stats do not influence what I choose to write about. If I find music that is interesting to me, I’ll write about it sooner or later, statistics and trends be damned.
