So we come to the end of the year. Once again Facebook campaigns tried to deny the X Factor finalist the Christmas number one, but not even minimalist composer John Cage stop Matt Cardle’s cover of Biffy Clyro’s Many Of Horror.

We don’t normally go on about films here at MusicRadar, but the release of Tron Legacy gave us reason to get excited - any film sound-tracked by Daft Punk is bound to be worth a look. News that the French duo were to make a cameo in the film - in full Tron themed suits (above) - just sealed the deal.

December also brought the release of what is bound to be the first of several posthumously released Michael Jackson albums. We gave Michael a full track-by-track review here.

Finally, we received a fantastic Christmas present from our favourite internet sensation Brett Domino.
