This is what you’ve been waiting for all year: my BEST of 2011 Awards! Deciding which artists made an indelible impression on 2011 was very difficult (mainly because T.I. was locked up), but I was able to narrow down the choices and finally arrive at a winner in every category.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! Be safe, eat healthy and drink wisely. We’ll see you back here on Monday!

Adele – 21 (even though she destroyed her golden voice, Adele’s 21 managed to sell 6 million in the U.S. alone)
