Billboard’s got some amazing year-end round-ups right now, and looking at them inspired us to see what else was out there. It turned out that everyone is doing it, so why shouldn’t we? In the spirit of comprehensive coverage, here are the Top 10 Top 10s for music in 2009:

1. Billboard’s round-up of round-ups. Charts, stories, trends, and more. Billboard’s got lists galore!
2. Pitchfork’s Top 50 Albums of 2009 and Top 100 Tracks of 2009. There are more than 10 items on each list, but they’re definitely in the spirit.
3. Rolling Stone’s 25 Best Songs of 2009. Another longer-than-ten list, but this one has players for each song, so you can listen while you reminisce.
4. MTV asked Lady Gaga for her tops of 2009. MTV has a bunch of other great year/decade-end wrap ups, but their report on Lady Gaga’s faves for 2009 is the one that makes our list.
5. VH1′s Best of 2009 catch-all. So maybe nobody limits their lists to 10 anymore, but who cares? VH1 has become the go-to for retrospective lists, so how could we exclude them from ours?

Did we miss anything? Which lists make your best-of?
