Top 25 Singles of 2009
It is time for my top 25 songs of 2009. While a few of the songs may have been released in 08, I've included any songs that I bought in '09. I left out any songs on my top 10 albums of the year for sake of variety.

NMT 1/20/2010 - THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2009!
THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2009
It has been a minute, but I have returned with a post that was both fun and challenging, and hopefully will be helpful; organizing my 10 favorite albums of 2009. While you may have heard of most of these artists, I hope you check these albums out if you don't own them already. I based these rankings on my most favorite/complete albums of the year. Expect my top 25 singles of the year to follow later in the week. Ahem - And now without further delay, in descending order of course, I give you my top 10 albums of 2009...
#10. Ursa Major - Third Eye Blind - Best “Oldie” Comeback In ‘09
Semi-charmed kind of return for these middle-school favorites, proving some bands never lose it.
Check Out: Bonfire
9. Grand - Matt & Kim - Funkiest Bunch to Breakthrough In ‘09
This 2 man (part woman) wrecking crew storm the nation with infectious funk; 1 set of drums and a keyboard can do THAT? Really??
Check Out: Good ‘Ol Fashion Nightmare
8. Unbroken - Katharine McPhee - 09's True Idol
American Idol’s best (not to mention best looking) finally brings her skills to the table in this folky, ethereal sophomore surprise.
Check Out: How
7. Miike Snow – Miike Snow – Best Album You’ve Never Of In ‘09
Swedish master pop-hitmakers Bloodshy & Avant team up with singer/songwriter to wrap up ’09 in synth heaven.
Check Out: Black & Blue
6. Rated R - Rihanna – Best Bounce Back Of ‘09
From battered to swaggered, Rihanna came back harder than ever with more attitude and identity than ever before.
Check Out: Rude Boy
5. Man On the Moon – Kid Cudi – Hip Hop’s Best Hope in ‘09
Take 1 part hip hop swag, 1 part indie skater emo insecurity, season with creativity and shake.
Check Out: Man On the Moon
4. Manners – Passion Pit – Electronic Breakthrough of ‘09
Who'd have guessed the Beach Boys on acid would sound so damn good?
Check Out – Little Secrets
3. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix – Phoenix – Indie Standout of ‘09
Trendy AND cool? These Frenchmen have done it here, indie pop at it’s best.
Check Out: Lisztomania
2. Brand New Eyes – Paramore – Best Guilty Pleasure of 09,
Amazingly catchy, upbeat choruses backed by gnarly vocals.
Check Out: All I Wanted
AND FINALLY...
1. BLACKsummers'night – Maxwell – Masterpiece of ’09
Start to finish, the smoothest, most complete album out in 2009, hands down.
Check Out: Pretty Wings
Here's to an even bigger and better sounding 2010!
