Billboard's Top Artist of the Year is....

Taylor Swift, of course!!

The country titan comes in at #1 for all artists this year, as well as being the #1 female artist of the year as well.

Swift's wild ride has been non-stop, with the release of her sophomore album Fearless in November of 2008, which has gone on to sell nearly 4 million copies in the United States alone. From that album she's had hit single after hit single, with songs such as "Love Story", "You Belong With Me", "You're Not Sorry", and "Fifteen."

The top male artist of the year was Kanye West. Enough said, he's a d-bag and has literally fallen off the face of the earth after the huge backlash he received after interrupting Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

This was the year of WOMEN, with the top 3 artists of 2009 taken up by all women. Beyonce is in the runner-up position this year, with Lady Gaga at #3. Teeny-bopper Miley Cyrus finishes the year at #5, while Pop Queen Britney Spears makes a triumphant return to the top 10 at #7. Pink finishes the female domination at #10.
