Well, this may very well be the end. After more than 50 elections, going through nearly 60 years of music, Hall of Songs has reached — possibly — its final election.

Hall of Songs has chronicled the history of popular Western music since 1951, and after nearly three years, has arrived at 2010. It’s a year of “indie” breakthroughs from artists such as Beach House and the Black Keys, and of mainstream smashes from those such as Katy Perry and Rihanna.
