I’m one of those people who tracks music, movies, charts, polls, and the sort all year-long. And, when December comes, I love seeing the best and worst of the year lists.
I posted my favorite movies of the year last week. “Lilting” was #1.
Here’s the link if you want to see the complete list:

Now, I ready to share my favorite albums of the year with you. But, before I do that, I want to channel my radio idol, Casey Kasem, and look back at my favorite albums of the past.
In 2010, it was Scissor Sisters’ “Night Work”. “Femme Fatale” by Britney Spears was my favorite in 2011 and Madonna’s “MDNA” was tops in 2012. In 2013, it was “Push Rewind” by Chris Wallace. And, last year, it was a tie between Enrique Iglesias’ “Sex and Love” and Erasure’s “The Violet Flame”.
Now, my favorites of 2015.
