According to last.fm, my favorite artists of January were:

  1. Burial
  2. wale
  3. Jazzanova
  4. Rilo Kiley
  5. Kanye West
  6. Aaliyah
  7. Björk
  8. Sia
  9. De La Soul
  10. Justice

Burial is well covered territory. Wale is new to me. Jazzanova's Belle et Fou is one of the records I bought with my Christmas Cash. Rilo Kiley is getting some re-listens because I feel like I didn't give their 2007 release enough love when it came out. Kanye tracks dominate my workout and driving playlists these days. Björk ended up being the surprise soundtrack of my Vegas Vacation. Sia has a new album out. De La is De La and even with Cross being referred to with the yucky term "blog house", Justice gets my attention every time they come through the speakers.
