Hello lovelies, maybe you noticed that the Landlocked newsletter didn't hit your inbox yesterday, that's because we've been pouring over our sales numbers for the year to come up with our top sellers. These numbers are not 100% accurate, but they are at least 98% give or take 2%. Yeah.

That said, there is also a last minute Jens Lekman show TONIGHT at the Bishop - 9pm, $8, 18+. Be there! We are open normal hours today, shortened hours tomorrow, closed on New Years Day, and then its back to business as usual. Next week will feature our personal lists for 2009. 

Top 100 CDs by Sales for 2009
----------------------------------
A few surprises! The Beatles remasters made a strong showing across the board... also a handful of Record Store Day pieces made it into both CD and LP lists.
