Johan Lundberg c3a24799c8 Complete dropped albums list with all 89 truly dropped albums from 2020
- Added all 89 albums that were genuinely dropped from 2020 to 2023
- Fixed incorrect status markings (many albums marked "New in 2023" were not new)
- Removed duplicates and albums incorrectly marked as dropped
- Final count: 589 total (500 main list + 89 dropped)
- Updated JavaScript validation for extended range
- Created comprehensive analysis scripts to verify data

Math now adds up correctly: 89 albums dropped to make room for new additions
