iTunes Best of 2013: Justin Timberlake – Artist Of The Year, The Heist – Album Of The Year
As the music industry continues to pump out Best of 2013 lists that will not take the full Christmas season into account, iTunes releses their Best of 2013. In the music category, Justin Timberlake is Artist of the Year. He also has the top selling album, "The 20/20 Experience," with Beyoncé's "Beyoncé" in second place. I'm just working off iTunes so who knows if they'll update this listing but I'm very curious about how Beyoncé will close out the year.
With the surprise release of Beyoncé on iTunes breaking records out the gate one has to wonder what happens when those iTunes gift cards are unleashed from Christmas stockings. Be that as it may, iTunes brings you their Best of 2013 which will open in iTunes.
