Here we are, folks: almost six months into 2009. In honor of the approaching halfway mark, we're making a list every day this week detailing our favorites of the year...so far. Yesterday we brought you the hottest sneakers, and today we're counting down the 10 must-cop albums of '09. Things have been pretty underwhelming on the hip-hop tip, so our list is diverse this time around, covering everything from Norwegian electro to old-school soul. Find out who we picked and why in the countdown below...

#10: RöyksoppJunior

The Complex Co-Sign: The third album from this Norwegian duo strikes the perfect balance between dark techno experimentation and the light, Scandanavian electro pop of Lykke Li and Robyn, both of who appear on Junior.

Key Tracks:
"Happy Up Here"
