Very pleased Rebecca's made your top 50. Some original material in the New Year would be great now!

I noticed her "Lady Sings the Blues" tour has been shoved back from Feb to Nov and now seems to be just a normal tour, so that would hopefully hint at some proper new music!

As this is the first year I've done an albums countdown and I'm often distracted by older music due to gigs etc, there are lots of pre-2015 albums in there. I've also elected to remove Now albums and the odd soundtrack, but not all!

Sometimes its the songs with the longer lifespans which hang around without topping the charts which have most impact by the year end!
