Happy New Year :)

It'll be a new decade in a few hours time. Indeed, 2009's been a magnificent year, and there is perhaps no better way to remember it than with great music.

Well, 2009's been a big year in the records industry. And it has, also, be deemed as a ladies' year. We have seen many female singers rise to fame - Taylor Swift, the biggest winner of the night at MTV's America Music Awards in LA, not to mention Lady Gaga, who may very well become the next Madonna. Also including, perhaps even girls like Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, Pixie Lott and La Roux, just to name a few. And, oh yes, Madam Lambert :D (sorry crude joke).

It's also a big year for the more established singers, like Beyoncé, named as Billboard's Top Female Artist of the Decade. And the Black Eyed Peas - 27 consecutive weeks as Billboard's #1 with I Gotta Feeling, spectacular.

Just not too long ago, Westlife and Backstreet Boys both released their latest albums. It seems that the trans-Atlantic rivalry continues, though i must say, This Is Us totally beats the crap out of Where We Are. Can't even compare. Big thumbs up for bsb!


A great year indeed. Here's a playlist of some of my favorite hits from 2009. The Really Nice and Really Really Nice sections are, to a somewhat moderate extent, influenced by the Charts. But an asterix* denotes that I feel the song is Really Really Really Nice. It reflects my opinion 100%. I call it the Triple-R rating, lolz. Yes, songs with Triple-R ratings are the BEST OF THE BEST, albeit only in my opinion. But the fact that most of the Triple-R songs are from the Really Really Nice section proves that my taste is still very mainstream...

(I also tend to group similar artistes together, so artistes with many songs in the list shall be put to the Really Nice or Really Really Nice section based on average performance. Ok this is confusing... )

BUT, being in the Really Nice section does NOT indicate that they suck. They are still very very very good. That's why its called Really Nice, and not 'sux'. lolz.
