According to Billboard magazine the Top Album of the year (they have some formula based on sales and stuff) is The Massacre by 50 cent (or as I like to say fittycent). The top song of the year is Mariah Carey's We Belong Together. I personally don't want to belong to Mariah Carey and think the song is trite and overplayed but I've compiled my own list below. I won't call these things the best of the year just some of my top favorites of 2005. Enjoy!!!!
