These are the top 20 all-around chart superstars who reigned supreme on both the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100 over the course of the Billboard chart year, from November 2008 through November 2009. Considering Taylor Swift's blockbuster year, it's no surprise that the Country/Pop sweetheart landed at No. 1 as her "Fearless" juggernaut and its' singles continued to dominate. Swift is also queen of the Female Artist of the Year Chart, while her infamous VMA bully Kanye West -- who only makes it to No. 6 here on the big Artist of the Year chart -- takes the king's crown on the Male Artists if the Year tally.
1.Taylor Swift
To say Taylor Swift had a remarkable year would be a comic understatement. She sold more albums than any artist not named Michael Jackson. Her first headlining tour, Fearless 2009, sold out every show within minutes. She became the youngest woman to win the Country Music Assn.'s entertainer of the year award, and she set seemingly every chart record that exists. But most important, she proved herself a graceful, timeless celebrity, handling hosting duties on "Saturday Night Live" and a rampaging Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards with equal aplomb.
2. Beyonce
As Kanye West infamously pointed out at the 2009 VMAs, Beyonce made one of the best videos of all-time. "Out of all my videos, ("Single Ladies") was the least expensive and took the least amount of time, and it ended up being the most iconic," Billboard's 2009 Woman of the Year reflects. "But once we got on the set, it was like, wait a minute. This is something special." Not only did the ubiquitous clip inspire thousands of YouTube imitations, it also helped push her "I Am... Sasha Fierce" album to last over a year on the Billboard 200 chart.
3. Lady GaGa
The chart-topping hit-maker and headline-grabbing fashionista from Yonkers, NY became the first artist ever to send her first four singles to No. 1 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart. What's her secret? "A hit record writes itself," said the winner of the 2009 Billboard Rising Star award. "If you have to wait, maybe the song isn't there. Once you tap into the soul, the song begins to write itself. And I usually write the choruses first, because without a good chorus, who really gives a f**k?"

I like "YBWM" and "15".
