Uma lista que nos enche de orgulho...

Ou como dois discos nacionais chegam ao top da billboard.

EMMANUEL LEGRAND, Billboard global editor

1. Tinariwen, "Amassakoul" (World Village). Hot blues from the Sahara.

2. Rodrigo Leao, "Cinema" (Columbia). The best chill-out album of the year.

3. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, "Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus" (Mute). He gets better with the years.

4. Rammstein, "Reise, Reise" (Polydor). Metal that blitzes your senses (and they do it with humour too!).

5. Kasabian, "Kasabian" (RCA). The Stone Roses meet the Happy Mondays.

6. Nils Petter Molvaer, "Streamer" (Sula). The Miles Davis for the electronic era -- simply brilliant.

7. Kraftwerk, "Tour De France" (Capitol). Still relevant after all these years, and what a fantastic live performance at Festival Hall in London.

8. Franz Ferdinand, "Franz Ferdinand" (Domino/Epic). Smart and exciting.

9. Mesa, "Mesa" (EMI). Impressive debut album from this Portuguese trip-hop band.

10. Candi Staton, "Candi Staton" (Astralwerks). Reissue of the year.
