It’s a little after the fact, but what the hell–here are the results of the MTV Networks year-end music poll:
1. JustinTimberlake, FutureSex Love Sounds
2. Gnarls Barkley, St. Elsewhere
3. TV on The Radio , Return To Cookie Mountain
4. The Killers, Sams Town
5. Muse, Black Holes & Revelations
6. Beyonce, B-day
7. Nelly Furtado, Loose
8. Beck, The Information
9. Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Staduim Arcadium
10. Arctic Monkeys, Whatever People Say That I Am TIED WITH Band of Horses, Everything All the Time
TIED WITH Christina Aguilera, Back 2 Basics
So that’s the demographic for those Beyonce-ringtone ads during Subterranean. Who knew, huh? (Also: How about MTV Networks CEO Judy McGrath being a Deerhoof fan? Is this a sign of awkward TRL appearances to come?)
