Year End Chart: Top Artists of 2012: Top 80 of 89 artists that reached my top albums chart
#28.(new) Emeli Sandé
Emeli Sandé is one of the best newcomers of 2012. Her music is so deep and heartfelt that it made me an instant fan of hers. Maybe, Clown, Heaven; all of those songs became huge hits in 2012.
#27.(15) Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson is the everlasting King of Pop. The late icon is still amassing many charting points 3 years after his death. The Bad 25 edition spawned 2 new top 20 hits, while Smooth Criminal actually peaked at #1 in 2012.
#26.(60) Linkin Park
Linkin Park released another highly anticipated album in 2012 which didn't perform as well as A Thousand Suns. However, they collected 36 charting points, placing them at #26.
#25.(24) Matt Cardle
Matt Cardle is one big surprise of 2012. Lately became a monstrous hitsingle and his album went Gold. He is one of my alltime favourite casting show stars.
#24.(re) The Ting Tings
It took them more than 5 years to finally re-appear on my chart. The Ting Tings are my 21st most played band of all times.
#23.(new) Roman Lob
Roman Lob doesn't only look like a model, his music is equally cute and outstanding. I was so surprised by his debut album, which became a huge hit and spawned several top 10 hits. I just hope, he can release a second album as good.
#22.(re) Silbermond
Himmel Auf finally made Silbermond my 10th alltime most played band. The German pop/rockers released one of the best albums of German language of all times.
#21.(38) Ed Sheeran
Ed's success is divided between 2011 and 2012. The majority of the Plus era's charting points came from 2012 though. Ed Sheeran collected 48 charting points.
#20.(22) Mumford and Sons
I didn't just anticipate Babel, I lived for its arrival. Gladly, the album didn't disappoint but hard too strong competition of make it to the top. Babel went Gold in 2012.
#19.(2) Will Young
What a drop from last year's runner-up Will Young, whose album Echoes is one of the top 5 most played and most successful albums of the new decade. The Echoes era kept him alive in 2012 and stopped him from free-falling. It's his second consecutive stay in the year end top 20. In march 2012 Echoes received 6 times platinum status.
