musicOMH's Most Read Album Reviews: 2009 Q4

Lady GaGa
No 1: Lady GaGa. Oh la la. 		The last quarter of the last year of the decade just farewelled saw high profile releases from pop divas. Our reviews of these suggested that our readers' appetite for well-made pop is at least as healthy as ever.

Beaten only by a lady from a TV talent show in album sales this year, Lady GaGa was the diva to trump all divas. The Fame Monster was a reissue of her debut album The Fame with nine new tracks - and it was those nine new tracks that caused the fuss.
But holding the fort in the Top 10 for indie artists were Fuck Buttons and The Hidden Cameras, both of whom released hugely acclaimed albums in the final months of the year.

So here we go with the Top 50 most read album reviews during October, November and December 2009...
