here for the welcome to the party
Sugarhigh!'s entries for albums and singles of the year can wait — freed from the beat-the-presses race to publication, we can afford to stall until the very end to total our PlayCounts across three computers, an iPod and a phone.
The periodicals are already getting down to business, as they must, and we would like to note that Jody Rosen — whom we met once in a hotel lobby, and believe to be entirely true to the game — has declared his top 3 albums of the year to be M.I.A., Miranda Lambert, and Brad Paisley. It practically gives us shivers. Among almost a billion albums, Mr. Rosen and sugarhigh! turn out to share basically identical beliefs.
We might note two distinctions almost too minor to mention. First, while we also had M.I.A. first and Miranda Lambert second (what are the odds?), we had Brad Paisley's album one slot lower, at #4 — which you'll admit is a barely relevant variance. And second, for sugarhigh! this was in 2005.
