By now Taylor Swift should be used to all of this. The most recent accolade to be showered onto the nineteen year old 2009 breakout star is the Artist of the Year award from Billboard Magazine. Swift also had the biggest albums, tours and singles for 2009.

The editors for Billboard wrote while announcing her award that saying 2009 was a remarkable year for Taylor Swift would be a huge understatement. Her award was based on the editorial review of album sales for November 2008 through November 2009 as well as song ranking for the Hot 100. Swift sold more albums than any other artist except Michael Jackson. Fearless 2009, Swift’s very first headlining tour, sold every show out within a matter of minutes. She also is the youngest female ever to win Entertainer of the Year from the Country Music Association. She has also set almost every chart record in existence. Most importantly, Swift has proven herself to be a timeless and graceful celebrity. She has handled with equal aplomb the “Saturday Night Live” hosting duties and a ranting Kayne West during the MTV Video Music awards.

Others following Swift include Pink, Nickel back, T.I., Britney Spears, Kayne West, Miley Cyrus, Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and Beyonce. Other top 20 artists include Lil Wayne, Kelly Clarkson, Flo Rida, Katy Perry and Kings of Leon.

The Black Eyed Peas, not surprisingly, with “Boom Boom Pow,” their hit song that was at number 1 for 12 amazing weeks, topped the list for Hot 100 Songs. Gaga had “Poker Face” (number 2) and “Just Dance” (number 3). The Black Eyed Peas latest hit “I Gotta Feeling” was at number 4. Rounding out the top ten were “Love Story” by Taylor Swift at number 5, “Right Round,” by Flo Rida at number 6, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz at number 7, “Single Ladies” by Beyonce at number 8, “Heartless” by Kayne West at number 9 and “Gives You Hell” by the All American Rejects at number 10.

Other top 20 songs include “You Belong With Me” by Taylor Swift at number 11, “Dead and Gone” by T.I. at number 12, “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon at number 14, “Blame It” by Jamie Foxx at number 16 and “Live Your Life” by Rihanna at number 18.

The Top Albums list for the Billboard 200 was headed by Swift’s Fearless, not surprisingly. It was the best seller of the year, although the debut of Susan Boyle, I Dreamed A Dream, actually is coming on very strong and could wind up as the calendar year’s top seller.

Beyonce was right behind Swift with I Am Sasha Fierce as well as Dark Horse by Nickelback, the soundtrack for “Twilight” and soundtrack for the Hannah Montana movie. The top 10 also included Circus from Britney Spears, 808s & Heartbreak by Kayne West, The Fame by Lady Gaga, Relapse by Eminem and The E.N.D. From the Black Eyed Peas. No sales figures were announced by Billboard for any of these categories. They are due to be released by Nielsen SoundScan during the first week in January.

Other top 20 albums include Only by the Night by Kings of Leon at number 11, The Blueprint 3 by Jay-Z at number 12, David Cook’s debut album at number 13, Funhouse by Pink at number 16 and No Line on the Horizon by U2 at number 18.

At number 2 was Madonna’s tour with a gross of $222 million with an audience of 2.1 million and 46 sold out shows.

Another veteran group AC/DC came in at number 4 with their 76 tour dates with 1.5 million concert goers and gross of $135 million. The only performer that is considered contemporary among the top 5 is pink whose Funhouse acrobatic tour gross over $103 million in front of 1.5 million fans and 131 shows. The circus themed world tour of Britney Spears came in at number 7 and gross $95 million with 61 sell outs out of 70 shows in front of almost 1.1 million fans.
