We were pregnant with my second daughter, who was born in May of 2011, so the year ended in a good place. My first turned two at the end of the year and was becoming a handful. But I didn’t know what a handful was until 2011 – baby plus terrible twos equals craziness!

Looking back at 2010, I didn’t find it a great year, even after reviewing all the songs (which was a huge project over 3000 songs released – welcome to the YouTube era). So moving forward, I’ll just be reviewing as many charts as I can, going deeper on the popular albums, and keep it under 1000 songs. Every single one of these songs I noticed only years later, and grew to enjoy them later.
