I was taking a trip down memory lane today and decided to look up albums that were released in 2009. First of all, it doesn't seem like it was that long ago! Second of all, there were a lot of great records released that year!
It's a fascinating look back at where certain artists were at this point in the career and seeing where they are now in 2019. They've all had different trajectories since then.
