I just want to say that i love all that albums, and was hard to pick positions, because albums inside the top 10 are as great as the ones outside the top 40, at least for me.
OMG i just realized i have two albums at 37. Sorry about that!
For Your Entertainment, The E.N.D, and Jason Mraz were the albums I couldn’t stop playing this year. FYE will probably have legs well into 2010.
My favorite albums in 2009 are:
Adam Lambert – For Your Entertainment
Kings of Leon – Only by the Night
Florence + Machine – Lungs
Muse – Resistance
Miike Snow – Miike Snow
MARIAH Memoirs of an imperfect angel- once again Mimi picks the WRONG singles!! Really a great RNB album!
Best Single – Trust- Keyshia Cole/Monica -pure sonic joy
Most underrated- Brandy -Human- grown up & great!
MOST OVERRATED-Gaga, Rhianna(she cant sing people, HELLO!),u2
singles of the year:
1. “Bad Romance”- Lady Gaga
2. “Bulletproof”- La Roux
3. “Off With Head”- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4. “My Life Would Suck Without You”- Kelly Clarkson
5. “panic switch”- Silversun Pickups
6. “Use Somebody”- Kings of Leon
7. “Poker Face”- Lady Gaga
8. “Uprising”- Muse
9. “Brick by Boring Brick”- Paramore

melaine fiona is THE breakout artist of (the end) of 2009. of course lady gaga ruled the world, and although cliche’ “single ladies” was THE song of the year.
My favorite albums were Muse’s Resistance and Yeah Yeah Yeah’s It’s Blitz. I really liked Green Day, the Dead Weather, Silversun Pickups and U2′s new albums also. But the best song of the year for me was Incubus’ “Black Heart Inertia.” That song kicked a**!!!!
Raekwon and Mos Def dropped great albums too!!
Album of the year lists are tough when you don’t divide it up by genres. So here are my tob 5 albums of 2009 for a few of my favorite genres:
R&B
1. Maxwell – BlackSummersNight
2. Alicia Keys – Element of Freedom
3. Trey Songz – Ready
4. Keyshia Cole – A Different Me
5. Joss Stone – Clour Me Free!
Honorable Mention:
6. Keri hilson – In A Perfect World
Hip-Hop
1. Jay-Z – Blueprint 3
2. Eminem – Relapse
3. Drake – (LP and mixtapes)
4. Mos Def – Ecstatic
5. Black Eyed Peas – The E.N.D.
Pop
1. Kelly Clarkson – All I Ever Wanted
2. Lady Gaga – Fame Monster
3. Jazon Mraz – Jason Mraz’s Beautiful Mess (Live)
4. John Mayer – Battle Studies
5. Rihanna – Rated R
Honorable Mentions:
6. Chris Brown deserves notice, outside of his criminal behavior he put out a very decent pop/r&b album
7. Jordin Sparks – Battlefield (5 really strong tracks mixed in with some ok stuff)
Rock/Alternative
Kings Of Leon – Only By The Night deserves the top spot here, hands down, cause there songs were played everywhere throughout 2009 but they aren’t eligible since it was released in 2008
1. Dave Matthews Band – Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King
2. U2 – No Line On The Horizon
3. Paramore – Brand New Eyes
4. Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown
5. OneRepublic – Waking Up
Country (not sure of album titles)
Carrie Underwood
Sugarland (live)
Lady Antebellum
Taylor Swift – Fearless
Rascal Flatts
Note: Haven’t heard anything from Yeah Yeah yeahs, St. Vincent, Phoenix or Kid Cudi (I don’t listen to radio) but they are getting really good buzz from people’s who”s taste I respect so I will have to check them out and may need to revise my lists.
Any thoughts?
