THE 2012 TOP 40 ALBUMS - PART 2

Well, we're into 2013 now and we've still got some great music from last year to feature on this week's edition of The Musical Box. Regular readers and listeners will know that we've compiled a run down of the Top 40 Albums of 2012. This was put together from many of my Albums Of the Week throughout the year and a few others which unaccountably slipped the net. The placings were down to you folks with your votes coming in up to Christmas Eve - for which my eternal thanks.



Last week's show featured the first half of the draw running from #40 down to #21. If you missed the show amongst all the festive fall-out, then here's a link to take you straight to my Listen Again facility - can't be bad, just listen in whenever and where ever you are: 


The top 20 features in this Thursday's show (January 3rd) which you can catch at 10pm on 92.3 Forest FM - and live around the world via our Radio Player - and here's a handy link for you:


The show is packed with two hours of great music with all our usual features - but to discover the run down and which release gets the coveted number 1 slot, you'll have to listen in. As a taster, what about a randomly ordered list of the twenty bands and albums in contention?
