Susan Boyle’s epic 6 week run can’t overtake Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” for 2009’s top selling album.

As the new year is ushered in, it’s looking like Susan Boyle will celebrate a sixth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week, as industry prognosticators project her “I Dreamed a Dream” album may sell about 150,000 to 165,000 copies by week’s end on Sunday (Jan. 3) night.

Rolling Stone unveiled our Best Albums and Best Songs of 2009 — now it’s the artists’ turn. Check out who Death Cab for Cutie, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and 3OH!3 had on repeat this year (and read Kings of Leon’s Jared Followill’s picks):

Death Cab for Cutie
Brand New Eyes by Paramore
Chris Walla: “I was surprised at what a totally well-written, well-constructed record it was, and I guess I wasn’t expecting that totally. I wasn’t sure if they were going to turn into something super accomplished or fluffy. But it’s pretty tough!”

Tight Knit by Vetiver
Ben Gibbard: “It’s a very easy, California-type record that flows really nicely.”

Magnolia by the Wooden Birds
Walla: “It’s the best batch of songs he’s ever written. It’s this guy Andrew Kenny who used to be in the American Analog Set who we’re friends with from way back when, it’s a beautiful record.”

Gibbard: “I think it’s up there with the best three albums he’s ever made. He made a singer-songwriter record but did it the right way. It has a lot of space in it — I feel like the last couple of years we’ve been drowning in music in reverb a little too much. This is a nice dry record.”

Pete Wentz
Hot Mess by Cobra Starship
“I think there’s a lot of bands that try really hard to be serious and there are a lot of people that try too hard to have fun, but they’re genuinely fun guys and it came through on this record.”

The Blueprint 3 by Jay-Z
“It’s the best record of the year. It’s just an angry hot record.”

3OH!3
It’s Not Me, It’s You by Lily Allen
Nate Motte: “The producer, Greg Kurstin, is an idol of mine, and she writes great lyrics. It’s a really charming record.”

Man on the Moon: The End of Day by Kid Cudi
Sean Foreman: “I think he’s an innovative rapper. He brings something new to the table and he’s not afraid to get a little experimental with what he does.”

They’re about to drop that ball, which means it’s time to drop my #1 Top Song of 2009…

“Empire State Of Mind”

Call me biased (I work in Times Square), but no song knocked harder or louder this year than Jay-Z’s love song to the Big Apple, “Empire State Of Mind.” From its chase-you-down beat, to Jay-Z’s always-hypnotic roller coaster cadence, to Alicia Keys‘ plunky piano parts and soaring, raise-the-roof chorus, “Empire State Of Mind” either made you proud to be a New Yorker or wish you were one.

Happy new year! Once more, with feeling!

(Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, live at the 2009 MTV VMAs… in New York!)

Buzzworthy’s #1 Top Video Of 2009: Lady Gaga, “Bad Romance”

Lady Gaga’s built her bottle rocket of a career on full-frontal performance art, freakish fashion, and insanely infectious hooks. But the platform upon which those pillars are built is Lady Gaga’s ability to absolutely next-level everything she does. Where some artists take a good idea and repeat it, Lady Gaga doesn’t just reinvent the wheel — she makes a better one — and takes it a step higher every time, from her VMA performance to her American Music Awards performance (uh… FLAMING PIANO!??!) down to the red dress she wore to meet the Queen of England. But nothing Gaga’s done has been more next-level than her “Bad Romance” video.

On its own, as a record, “Bad Romance” was almost too big to be believed. And the anticipation wrapped around the “Bad Romance” video was an event in and of itself. It’s hard to think of a video since “Thriller” that, well, thrilled like “Bad Romance.” It became an instant classic and Gaga’s best video yet. In 2009 we needed to escape, and no artist’s video met that need better than Gaga in “Bad Romance.”

Let’s check the rear-view for the other Top 5 Songs of 2009. Number 5: Mario, “Break Up,” Number 4: Paramore, “Where The Lines Overlap,” Number 3: The Clipse, “Popular Demand (Popeyes),” Number 2: Drake, “Best I Ever Had,” and now…

+ Number 1: Phoenix, “Lizstomania”

An unassailably perfect pop song, taken from Phoenix’s amazing Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix album. The opening tinkle of keys, the galloping beat, The Smiths-esque guitars that crash in before the chorus and those ponderous lyrics; are they about composer Franz Liszt’s 19th Century rise to stardom? A regretful look at the end of a relationship? Both? Doesn’t matter, once Thomas Mars coos, “So sentimental/Not sentimental, no” you’ll fall under this brilliant song’s spell.

Watch Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Ke$ha, Pitbull, The Fray, Justin Bieber, Ciara, Wyclef, Alison Iraheta, Jay Sean and others talk about their favorite moments of 2009 and look ahead to their plans in 2010.

Cliff’s Notes to Chris’ Top 5 Songs Of 2009: #5: Mario, “Break Up,” #4: Paramore, “Where The Lines Overlap,” #3 The Clipse: “Popular Demand (Popeyes)” and now…

+ Number 2: Drake, “Best I Ever Had”

Ah, Drake. Music’s Can’t-Miss-Kid drew a considerable amount of ire for “Best I Ever Had”’s Kanye West-directed, chest-focused video. Regardless of how you feel about Kanye the filmmaker, Drake’s qualities as a a singer/songwriter/rapper/burgeoning star are pretty much indisputable.

The Canadian DeGrassi veteran/Young Money all-star made a big splash with this mixtape cut (taken from his essential So Far Gone). It’s got everything that’s good about Drake: hooks coming at you from all over the place; a great match of voice and beat (Drake’s smooth tones over the rising/falling bass line); and, of course, a lot of aw-shucks-I’m-the-greatest charm and braggadocio.

It was Gaga’s year. I know this, you know this, your house pets probably know this. It would be impossible to unpack Lady Gaga’s 2009 in its entirety; and besides we’ve been doing it all year, right?

So why not just take a gander back at Gaga’s top 5 most audacious, jaw-dropping, wow-inducing looks? Let’s do this:

+ Latex Reindeer Gaga

Gaga got into the holiday spirit in London with this Prancer-Go-Dominatrix get up.

+ Gaga As Pregnant Ballerina

From the pages of Italian Vanity Fair. Gaga was giving us a preview of her look for Francesco Vezzoli’s perfomance art (performing art?) installation at the Los Angeles Museum Of Contemporary Art’s 30th Anniversary gala.

+ See Through Red Lace With Full-Face Mask/Veil

Upon accepting her award for Best New Artist at the 2009 MTV VMAs, Gaga’s insane red ensemble even made Eminem basically go “WTF?”

+ Phantom Of The Opera/VMAs

Another VMA look from Gaga. This one brings to mind Phantom of the Opera meets bird enthusiast. This was the outfit that caught Kermit’s eye:

+ Show Her Who’s Really Queen Red Rubber Dress

When Gaga met the Queen she went royal, donning an Elizabethan red rubber dress by Atsuko Kudo.

Can’t wait to see what Gaga pulls out of her bag of tricks in 2010!

It’s been a tumultuous year for Rihanna. After the whole Chris Brown episode, she could’ve been forgiven for just shutting it down and chilling out in Barbados for the rest of ‘09. Instead she went into action, recording a dense new album (Rated R), making brilliant videos, and popping up everywhere fashionable and making it more fashionable. Let’s revisit some of our favorite Rihanna moments of the year. (Besides her topless GQ cover.)

+ She got by with a little help from her friends. Rihanna got back in the mix flanked by two of her closer industry supporters, Jay-Z and Kanye West. Her inimitable, ghostly wail punctuated Hova’s Blueprint 3 anthem, “Run This Town.”

+ She made us laugh. What? Yeah, Rihanna, not really known for bringing the LOLs, did just that when, during her musical guest appearance on Saturday Night Live she co-starred in the digital short, “Shy Ronnie,” with Andy Samberg, playfully lampooning her own songs in the process.

+ She made two incredible videos (“Russian Roulette” and “Hard“) that showed us she wasn’t just developing as a recording artist, but as a music video artist as well.

+ She re-established (and actually wildly improved) herself as a live performer, bringing the atmospheric sounds of Rated R to the state. Check out this footage from her November live stop in London (with bonus Jay-Z duet included).

+ She made the Polar Bear look WORK. Seriously, who can pull this off and not look ridiculous other than Queen Ri?

We leave you with three sick Rihanna videos from ‘09: “Run This Town,” “Russian Roulette” and “Hard.”

Quick recap of my picks for Buzzworthy’s Top Videos of 2009! Buzzworthy’s #5 Top Video of 2009 went to Katy Perry’s ‘Waking Up In Vegas.” The #4 Top Video of 2009 is Fall Out Boy’s “What A Catch, Donnie.” The #3 Top Video Of 2009 went to Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams.” Which brings us to the #2 Top Video of 2009, which is…

Matt & Kim, “Lessons Learned”

Not only is Matt & Kim’s “Lessons Learned” video, directed by Taylor Cohen and Otto Arsenault, the starkest video of the year as well as the nakedest, but it’s one of the most scintillating videos of 2009 — and not just because they’re naked. Matt & Kim’s snapshot of public indecency — in true DIY spirit, Matt and Kim actually, for-real stripped down (and not in the acoustic way) and streaked Times Square — embraces the sheer joy of the song… until you get to the didn’t-see-that-coming ending.  While the impact of the video’s end is absolute, its meaning is nebulous — does it signal the end of wide-eyed innocence? The inevitability of “The Man” keeping you down? The power of anarchy? You decide. Just don’t try it at home.

Watch the video that won a 2009 VMA and a 2009 mtvU Woodie Award, and watch Matt & Kim perform “Lessons Learned” live at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards.

DJ Earworm mash-up of the year’s biggest hits.

Yesterday we took a look at Buzzworthy’s #5 and #4 Top Videos of 2009 — Katy Perry’s ‘Waking Up In Vegas” at 5 and Fall Out Boy’s “What A Catch, Donnie” at #4. Today, my #3 Top Video Of 2009 goes to a woman whom no best-of list would be complete without. Beyonce.

+ Number 3: Beyonce, “Sweet Dreams”
Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” video, directed by Adria Petty, isn’t just another high-fashion look at Beyonce, though there are direction allusions to designer Gareth Pugh’s Autumn/Winter 2009 video presentation. But beyond Beyonce’s designer wardrobe, “Sweet Dreams” picks up where the “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” video left off. It’s the dark yin to the brighter, lighter fare of “Single Ladies.” This is a 360-degree look at Beyonce’s life: Beyonce the woman, Sasha Fierce the performer, and the powerful force that occupies the spaces in between. Beyonce goes to sleep as Beyonce, turns into Sasha Fierce, and emerges as da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, only a woman. Woven throughout the “Sweet Dreams” video are darker shades of the occult and stranglehold of mind control. Like I said — definitely not just a fashion video.

Yesterday we admired the creepy interrogation scenes of Rihanna’s “Russian Roulette” and the manic, tracking shots and jumpy editing of Vampire Weekend’s “Cousins.” Now, we continue the countdown of my favorite Buzzworthy music video with this cabaret scene from a galaxy far, far away. The next clip on my list of Buzzworthy’s Top Videos of 2009 countdown is…

+ Number 3: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Heads Will Roll”

In this RIchard Ayoade-directed clip (taken from The YYY’s It’s A Blitz album), Karen O. and her boys are playing a dinner theater that’s one part Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” video, one part David Lynch film and one part budget-Werewolf schlock flick.

However, you’ll be hard-pressed to pay attention to anything other than Karen O.’s insane bubble-wrap-butterfly-wings and her minimal, hip-shaking dance moves as she commands this lush, disco-rock anthem from the stage.

Calling all pop music fanatics and Attention Deficit Disorder sufferers: DJ Earworm has a belated Christmas present for you.

Earworm, a San Francisco-based mashup master has once again taken over 20 of the most popular pop singles of the year and seamlessly sewed them together to highlight the biggest hooks, refrains, and choruses of the year.

“United State of Pop” is the second-annual, year-in-music mashup that Earworm has completed. For this year’s version he used the Black Eyed Peas‘ ubiquitous “I Gotta Feeling” as a backing track, and threaded bits and pieces of songs from Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Jay Sean (this bit is great), Beyonce, Katy Perry, Gaga and many more. Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” and Kings Of Leon’s “Use Somebody” are hidden gems, as is Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me.”

To find out all of the tracks sampled in “The United State of Pop 2009: Blame It On The Pop” head over to DJ Earworm’s homepage. And check out his jaw-dropping, hook-heavy 2009 mashup below.

Yesterday, in beginning the countdown of my favorite songs of the year, I gushed about Paramore and Mario making music out of bits and pieces of multiple sub-genres. Today, no such post-modern biz will take place. Nope! These next cats make straight-up hip-hop for those who like their rap uncut. Get prepped, students: the #3 song on my Buzzworthy Blog Top 5 Songs of 2009 countdown is…

+ Number 3: The Clipse, featuring Cam’ron, “Popular Demand (Popeye’s)”

Over a crunching, old-school Neptunes beat, the brothers Thornton (they’re twins, btw) rhyme about hotels, NBA ballers, balling out, and eating fast food. Riding over the horns and pianos, Malice, Pusha and their pal — Harlem’s own Cam’ron — sound cocky and comfortable talking about how great they are.

“Popular Demand” is probably the strongest song off a very strong album (Til The Casket Drops). It’s a healthy dose of NYC-style hip-hop (even though they hail from Virginia) and a welcome return from arguably the decade’s greatest rap duo.
