I can see some major changes over the last year!
8 new artists
6 stayers
7 climbers
29 fallers

So it wasn't a good year for quite a few artists in my chart from last year. But then again, I discovered a whole lot new artists that haven't been able to rise towards my top 50 of artists yet, so I predict that the following artists will be present in next year's nostalgia journal:
GWAR
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Rowwen Hèze
Sufjan Stevens
OK Go
Dragonforce

And of course some artists fell from the chart this year. Well, screw 'em! They weren't good enough. ;)

Last year I didn't include my top tracks at that moment, but I'm going to start doing that now. So no changes from last year yet. But this way I can finally use it as a reference for next year's journal!
