Another blinding year for music I reckon. Loads to get excited about. And who said the 'single' was dead?? Some 3 minute stormers this year....
My 3 favourites, I can't remember what else has been out this year:
Doves - Winter Hill Florence and the Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) Editors - Papillon
Love that Ellie Goulding song, not sure if it's been a single yet over here.
Edit: Empire Of The Sun : Walking On A Dream and We Are The People 
Another great tunes of this year:
Daniel - Bat For Lashes 1901 - Phoenix

- Baby I Can’t Stop It – Lindstrom & Solae (Aeroplane Remix)
Great call!! Aeroplane were undoubtedly the production team of 2009. They've really shaken things up. Everything they touch is sublime. The Sebastien Tellier, David Rubato and Grace Jones remixes were something else. If only they would get round to releasing an album!
Saw them DJ in Sheffield last month and they were a bit shit though. Hard to play 115bpm nu-disco when the guy before you is cranking it up to 130 I s'pose.

It came out 3 weeks ago. Didn't bother the charts much unfortunately.

Fuck Edel,we have so much in common!
Of all artists mentioned here I heard of only three. 
I guess I never really passed the 1997 mark. Remember Hong Kong??
In no particular order
Underdog - Kasabian Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon Kingdom Of Rust - Doves Pokerface - Eric Cartman The Fear - Lilly Allen

it might be in Scunthorpe. C86 is dead.
is that supposed to be a witty riposte? it makes no sense whatsoever.
your choices owe a far greater debt to the past than mine.

you barely made any did you?
And music is cyclic, with new bits added on.
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day..

i got closer to the requisite number than you did. in countdown that would be classed as a victory.
i wouldn't mind but the sorry examples of 80s pop that the charts have been riddled with this year have been lesser than the tunes they were ripping off. nothing added. like a shit audio shredded wheat.
My list reflects the only music stations we have here in New London!
