Phew. The last Week In Retrospect of 2010, and it's a long one! This isn't 2010 over, though; particularly in the first months of the new year we'll all still be reviewing the last of 2010's albums we couldn't quite get around to this year, and some of those are bound to big names so keep an eye out for them. There are a few "Best Music Of 2010" articles left to finish, which will be posted in the coming weeks. Check for any news you may have missed in our archive, and be sure to like our Facebook page if you haven't already. Have a good new year!
