1 Duke Special 193

top of my chart and likely to stay pretty high for a while , though with three new albums on 09 its likley to go quiet from the duke for a while.

2 Miriam Jones 112

what a great artist. she was releasing a free song every month! hopefully we will see more from her in 2010

3 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds110
number 3 despite no new album this year

4 Boo Hewerdine103
i so need to buy boo's new cd

5 Cornershop95
they are back. forget the idea of one hit wonders they are on form. another cd on my shppoing list

6 Show of Hands93

great gig, and nice new album (maybe not as good as witness)
7 Ian Brown83

good live gig but expect ian to fall down my chart significantly next year
8 Sinéad O'Connor77

9 Foy Vance76
before 09 i'd only heard him doing backing vocals for iain archer - wow what an artist. and his new ep with the ulster orchestra is a must buy
10 The Waterboys73

11 Lobelia71
definaly need to buy some of lo's cds (and look into organising a gig for her - though little baby flapjack might make that a bit hard)

11 Rachel Taylor-Beales71

strangely very low profile with very little publicity for her red tree album. album 3 should be due in 2010 and if its half as good as red tree it will be great

13 Chumbawamba66
seen live 4 times this year, low listning figs but due a new album in spring

14 U2 62 thats despite a new cd out in 09. i'm loosing interest

15 Bob Dylan58

16 Spearhead56
note Micheal franti and spearhead get three seperate enteries on this chart. if all his recordings would scrobble the same he'd have been at number two in my chart

17 Depeche Mode54

18 Martyn Joseph 51

19 Steve Knightley 50
front man from show of hands

20 New Model Army 48

20 Emmanuel Jal 48

22 Steve Earle 47
seen live this year, really should get his new album but doesn't feel essential (given he is in the studio with t bone burnett this year his 2010 album may well be essential)

23 Bruce Springsteen 45

24 David Ford 44

25 16 Horsepower 34

26 Deacon Blue 33

27 Michael Franti & Spearhead 32

28 Michael Franti 30

28 The Hall Brothers 30
seen Nick hall more times than i can count this last year (with duncan think i'm on 5 gigs, on his own or with michelle plum a few more) given the quality of stuff nick is doing live his 2010 album should be essential. (think he is recording with michelle plum so expect plumhall to be pretty high in next years charts
