Well here it is. I have been waiting all year to do this. Like last year, I used my iTunes stats (plays vs. skips, etc), as well as some more superficial methods, to help select the top 15 and rank them. And yes I know that by having two tied at #3 that this list is technically a top 16. So be it.

Clicking the album image takes you to Amazon or another destination to purchase the album.
Clicking the artist/album name takes you to the review.
