What's the earliest in the year you've seen a music publication or website run a Album of the Year feature?

Not counting so far or halfway lists, etc, though obviously both are shit and pointless.

I'd be happy for them all to wait until January of the following year, to be honest, but i appreciate that, like it or not, the main aim of any Album of the Year list is to encourage Christmas sales, so with that in mind, let's just agree that any publication or website which runs theirs before 1st December are stupid cunts.

To answer the question, pretty sure The Fly have ran theirs in October before now.
