We’ve spent the year tallying album sales figures and reviewing Hot 100 song rankings. Now, at the end of 2009’s road, look back at the 20 artists who traveled further and faster up the charts than all the others.

These twenty stars were the best performers on the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200 over the course of the chart year, from Nov. 2008 through Nov. 2009.

02). Beyonce
As Kanye West infamously pointed out at the 2009 VMAs, Beyonce made one of the best videos of all-time. “Out of all my videos, (”Single Ladies”) was the least expensive and took the least amount of time, and it ended up being the most iconic,” Billboard’s 2009 Woman of the Year reflects. “But once we got on the set, it was like, wait a minute. This is something special.” Not only did the ubiquitous clip inspire thousands of YouTube imitations, it also helped push her “I Am… Sasha Fierce” album to last over a year on the Billboard 200 chart.

    I really enjoy your music before it got vulgur. When you were young, did your parents allow you to listen to provacotive and sexual music. Young kids love and imitate you, why have you change now that you are married. Has your mother changed in your eyes? Me, myself, and I really respected you before you went marketable in the world’s eyes. One of my family members knew you in Houston before you became as big as you are now. Would you allow your child to listen you the music you recorded w/Lady GaGa?. Being married, doesn;t mean it’s okay to say what you experience in your married world. You have a younger crowd who listen’s to your music, and is it alright to do and act, and perform a sexual conotation for money? You have to determine the right answer with the true God, not me nor anyone else outside of obedience to the true God. Satan, constitutes materialism, sexuality,greed, etc. But, Jesus the son of God, was simple, devtoted to his Father, loving to people and truthful in everything. WHo ARE YOU?

    BJay in H-
    Town, now.

    Aww mannn, I do not wish to get on the subject of morals and religion. But…….
    As a Christian and a Fan I Do Not Judge Beyonce. I love her. I prays for her. I’ll leave the judging ALL up to God. WE ALL HAVE TO ANSWER TO HIM. NONE OF US ARE PERFECT. And I don’t believe that Jesus would have put Beyonce on blast like that in Any public forum. He does not seem like the type of person that would do that. He is Kind, Understanding, Caring, Loving, and Forgiving.

    With the woman in the Bible, a crowd of people (hurling judgments, accusations, and insults) wanted to stone her to death….and Jesus said to the crowd, “Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone”. He rescued that woman, Forgave her, and told her in private to “go and sin no more.”
    Jesus KNEW that that crowd was filled with people who were Sinners themselves!
    (I often think about that story, whenever I see negative comments about B.)

    We all know that most of Beyonce’s music is not for children. She is a Grown Woman making music for Grown People (or Mature People) who want to listen. It is the parent’s responsibility to be role models to their own children and to teach them and monitor what they watch or listen to. DO NOT PUT ALL OF THAT WEIGHT ON BEYONCE’S SHOULDERS. I don’t care if she is in the public eye.

    No offense, but their is a Genre of Music and Singers out there that you Can listen to if you feel that Beyonce’s videos and music is not morally fitting.

    And the subject that I hate most….Satan!
    He is always seeking whomever He can devour!
    And that is a scary thought!
    He is definitely on the loose in this world.
    And that is one reason why we must pray for our brothers and sisters, like Beyonce,
    INSTEAD OF ALL OF THE CRITICIZING!!!!!

    I believe that she is a good person no matter what anybody says!
    God knows her heart and He is MORE FORGIVING than you think. She does not have to answer to you, me, or anybody else….but HIM.

    I’ll always be a fan4life. Sorry for the long post. That is all.
