MJ had an undoubtedly amazing year... minus the whole suddenly dying thing. All the people of the world were singing his song and praises and finally treating him like a human again. We also got to peek into the personal trappings of his batshit loco family, which was interesting/disturbing. Now I can't wait to watch the new Jackson's reality show!

6. La Roux
La Roux totally nailed the aesthetic she was going for while not sounding too unoriginal, which deserves some recognition. She's an awesome character in her own right with her 80's androgyny and her tidal wave hair. She brought retro and nostalgia into the pop scene and hopefully it will open the time portal for more to come through.
5. The Golden Filter
The Golden Filter didn't even put out an entire album this year, but I still think they successfully cemented themselves into the scene and are also incredibly intriguing, mainly due to their mysterious nature. Their video's aren't easy to watch, their lead singer always obscures her face and I don't think anyone even knows what the golden filter is anyway... aka mystery. They have me listening though, and I can't wait for a full release. If that even happens.
The big reveal is coming tomorrow! Aren't you just dying with excitement? Spoiler alert: Animal collective is nowhere to be found.
