This list has been in the making since February when I started keeping a Top Ten that was updated weekly. One album held the top spot from the day we started until August. The album that replaced it ended up remaining in the top spot for the duration. There have been some changes in the order throughout the year, but nothing too shocking. The biggest surprise is Hurray For The Riff Raff who started out in the high teens and ended up sneaking higher and higher, even cracking the top ten! 2012 was a fun year for music. I’m sad to see it go (I’m guessing we’ll see the next Star Wars installment before we get another record from Fiona Apple). As always I’m hopeful that next year will bring bigger and better!
