Woah - 50 Cent's album in the top 10?!?!

It's interesting that Stevie Wonder's album made their list. I don't remember it getting any positive reviews.

Re: Rolling Stone Top 50 Albums of 2005

Great that they've finally done a numbered top 50 : Guess we now won't have to wait ages for them to do their usual seperate top 10 list later on.

Re: Rolling Stone Top 50 Albums of 2005

They also posted three singles lists, which I will try to post later today. "Since U Been Gone" wasn't on any of them.

Re: Rolling Stone Top 50 Albums of 2005

They did 4 singles lists - Top 10 of 2005, Top 10 Downloads, Top 10 Hip-Hop, and Top 10 Country.

Here's what I remember:

Top 10 of 2005
1. "1 Thing" - Amerie
2. "Trapped In The Closet" - R Kelly
3. "Pon de Replay" - Rihanna
4. "Welcome To Jamrock" - Damien Marley
5. "Gold Digger" - Kanye
6. "Hollback Girl" - Gwen

Top 10 Country
1. "Alcohol" - Brad Paisley
"Kerosene" and "Best I Ever Had" were on the list
9. "Making Memories Of Us" - Keith Urban

50 Cent above Stevie Wonder?

Glad to see Annie and Madonna place quite well!

Re: Rolling Stone Top 50 Albums of 2005

I just purchaced a few of these albums, and I can see why Kanye's up on top since he's sort of the new Dre of this generation. However 50 Cent is a little too poppish for me, and as well Gorilaz is a little overrated. M.I.A. however was probably the best new artist in my opinion. That was some unique stuff.

Re: Rolling Stone Top 50 Albums of 2005

Does anybody possibly have the other lists, i.e. rap singles, country singles and movies and could post them?
