musicOMH's Most Read Album Reviews: 2009 Q1

Pet Shop Boys
No 2: Pet Shop Boys' Yes, released towards the end of the quarter, proved hugely popular 		Herewith, a snapshot of musicOMH readers' viewing habits - the Top 50 album reviews most read in January, February and March 2009.

The album reviews section has been steadily building readership through the course of the quarter, during which we've been publishing an average of 14 album reviews each week. (I sat down and actually worked this out. I need to get out more.)

Lauded and slated albums alike make the list - the Top 10 alone contains five-star and one-star appraisals. Oh, and only reviews published this year make the cut. So STEP AWAY FROM THE KILLERS REVIEW PLZTHX.
