Adeleの21は断トツの1位でしょう。
Adeleも含め2011年のベスト4は私の好きなアーチストが並んでくれ大変楽しめた1年でした。それにしてもSusan Boyleの2年連続ベスト５入りはびっくり。アメリカ特有のものでしょうなぁ。
Jason Aldean、Taylor Swift、Rascal Flatts、Lady Antebellumなどなどカントリーロック系のアーチストが活躍してくれたのも、大変楽しめました。

1981年 年間チャート

ちょうど30年前 1981年の年間チャートベスト１０はこんな曲が入っていました。
1 BETTE DAVIS EYES / KIM CARNES
2 ENDLESS LOVE / DIANA ROSS & LIONEL RICHIE
3 LADY / KENNY ROGERS
4 (JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER / JOHN LENNON
5 JESSIE'S GIRL / RICK SPRINGFIELD
6 CELEBRATION / KOOL & THE GANG
7 KISS ON MY LIST / DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES
8 I LOVE A RAINY NIGHT / EDDIE RABBITT
9 9 TO 5 / DOLLY PARTON
10 KEEP ON LOVING YOU / REO SPEEDWAGON

年間１位KIM CARNESのBETTE DAVIS EYES、邦題は「ベティデイビスの瞳」とそのまんまの日本語訳ですが、女優ベティデイビスのことを歌った曲で、9週連続1位を記録して文句なしの年間No.1でした。

このKIM CARNESですが、ソロでは「BETTE DAVIS EYES」以外に大した曲はないのですが、デュエットでいくつもヒットを飛ばしています。初めてTop40に登場したのは1978年8月でGene Cottonとのデュエット「You're a Part of Me」でした。また、Kenny Rogersと共演の名曲「Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer」は1980年6月に4位を記録する大ヒットとなっています。

Adeleが1位と24位、Katy Perryが3位、4位、14位と、2人の女性ボーカルの活躍が目立った年でした。
また、個人的には、昨年のLady Antebellumに引き続き、Jason AldeanやBlake Sheltonなど、カントリー系が頑張ったのが嬉しいことです。

残念なのは、Country Rockを除き、Rock系が全く無い！（80年代から90年代にかけてのRock全盛期が懐かしい。。。）
来年は、Evanescence、Paramore、Seetherあたりに是非とも頑張って欲しいものです。
