Стив – автор популярного у любителей жанра пауэр-поп блога Absolute Powerpop пишет в своем дневнике:
«Не уверен, что 2009-й оказался худшим годом, но все же, когда в прошлом году я собирал Top-125, оказалось, было слишком много хороших дисков, которые было бы жаль упустить, то в этот раз у меня получился только Top-100, и мне пришлось даже сражаться за то, чтобы набрать 100 лучших».
