Right? Does it go in order of albums she produced or what?

I mean they’re in chronological order, that’s what the number are, but unnecessary because it obscures the album cover and it can be assumed they’re chronological.

Then my recommendation is put an annotation that albums are listed chronologically in the bottom margin, and keep the albums below each data set, translucent at like 20% opacity.
