Music of the Year - 2011

I completely blanked on doing this, so a week late I present my top artists and albums from 2011 as observed from my charts over at Last.fm. Notably, for my top ten artists my numbers are down significantly from last year. Where I had Minus the Bear ranking in at number one with just under 2000 plays last year, this past year my highest was Portugal. The Man with just under 1300 plays. Also this year for top albums I compiled the list based upon my Last/fm charts rather than iTunes.
