Janelle Mon�e! We've been counting down to the Guardian's best album of the year ? and our No 1 surprised some of you

Five more things we learned from our album countdown

?A lot of you wanted the National to win

?And a lot of you really didn't

?Our top 40 looked pretty good (and the National made it on to that)

?Guardian critics have rather diverse taste

?Janelle Mon�e seemed pretty happy about winning

Five things we learned elsewhere in music

?Bruce Springsteen has songs he's never played live

?The Smiths are still relevant in 2010

?Biffy won The X Factor in the Guardian office

?Cage Against the Machine would be an amusing Christmas chart topper

?Our buzz graph refuses to lie

And finally ...

?Remember to follow our advent calendar ...

?... and our Twitter ...

?... oh yeah, HAPPY CHRISTMAS and see you in 2011 x
