Also, I'm glad I don't live in New York, because most of the stuff that was preferred in NYC and not elsewhere sucks, excepting Phoenix and Passion Pit. Grizzly Bear? please bore me to death.

I think it's more likely that the big jump for Paramore is due to their album coming out, rather than some movie that they're not on the soundtrack for.

And call me a music snob, but as a New Yorker, the bands on this chart are pretty much all embarrassing. Then again, I could only think of one album to put in my top-ten-albums-of-2009 list, so maybe it was just a bad year…

Call me a chart snob, but as pretty as it is, this could have been graphed in a way that allows for better following of the peaking trends. Seriously. This graph maker needs to think about what the graph is supposed to show. (And not pick such close colors!)

I need to move to New York.

Someone can make a graph as both detailed and as snotty as this, but refer to “the second Twighlight film”?

legible pic or link please?
