Say adios to the '00s! This is
TC's top 40 albums of 2009.
Believe it or not, this is the 7th consecutive year that I'll be counting down my favorite music. I've been part of this great event every single year since 2003. This time, we've reached the end of the decade. That's
insane.
The first 4 years, I had my weekly countdown, ye olde
The TC 10, determine the year-end stats for me. Of course, those days are long gone, so the last couple of times I've done my year-end countdown, it's been a mixed bag.
This year, I'm gonna end the decade right by returning to the year-end model I came up with back in 2007: my top 40 albums of the year, along with some singles as bonus material. Doesn't get any easier than that.
Superwomen have reigned supreme on my year-end lists for the last 3 years, with Lily Allen taking the crown in 2006, followed by Tegan and Sara in 2007, and Santogold in 2008. Will it happen again? If so, who will it be?
If you wanna find out, you'll have to stay tuned over the next two weeks. We'll have a blast as we send off the '00s. The long road to #1 starts all over again, right now. I hope you'll come along for the ride one more time.
Before I get going with this year's countdown, feel free to take a look back at my past year-end countdowns...
