Notes:
1. Despite being 33 albums this is really 33-and-a-third due to 'The Fame Monster' being more than one brilliant album and '3 Words' being less than a far less brilliant album.
2. There are a couple of international releases in here but we're not saying these were the only international releases worth bothering about — they just seemed to fit into the 2009 list.
