Spin The 40 Best Albums & The 20 Best Songs of 2010

Me unusual? Like the champion sings: fuck you. 

What:

Let's Spin the black circle! The American monthly magazine published its top 40 albums and top 20 songs of the years. Here come the Spotify versions. As always, the advice is to listen to them while reading infos & mumblings on the magazine website.

Comments:

Interesting Robyn choice: while all the other EOY charts feature the "anthology" Body Talk, Spin picked the first EP Body Talk pt.1. Unusual Tracey Thorn choice, instead, in the songs chart.
