Retirement[edit]

For info: I recently e-mailed HMV's customer services, who confirmed that the Poll of Polls was retired in 2013, when the .com team became HMV Retail Ltd. Their nearest equivalent currently is their in-house top 10 albums of the year (e.g. 2013, 2014), but these are quite clearly compiled very differently to the Poll of Polls, so I don't think it would make much sense to include them.
