In our attempt to provide you with the freshest sounds from our country, we have showcased quite a few artistes and bands in the past few months via MO radio, off the radar and album reviews. Speak out and tell us who’s your favourite breakthrough artiste/song from 2009 and we’ll figure by matching it to our streaming stats to find a definitive listeners choice of 2009.

If youre wondering where to do all this, we’re alive on twitter and facebook.

Cheers.
