Music Hits and Misses of 2009
If you’re wondering who the big winners in the music industry of 2009 are and who failed miserably, well I’ve got the answers for you. When it comes to sales, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Susan Boyle, Lady Gaga and Andrea Bocelli were blockbuster hits with Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, the Black Eyed Peas, the Hannah Montana Soundtrack, Miley Cyrus, Michael Buble, Pink, Michael Jackson, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood and Eminem still being big movers. Adam Lambert, Rihanna, Whitney Houston, the Jonas Brothers, Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Norah Jones, Barbara Streisand and Sting proved to be disappointing. Flat out bombs were the likes of Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Leona Lewis, One Republic, Shakira, Rod Stewart, Kellie Pickler, Kris Allen, Robin Thicke, Chris Brown, David Archuleta and Harry Connick Jr.
