As the year end approaches, I figured we could take a look back and see what the most popular stories were of 2008 in terms of raw page views. Unlike last year, where many of the choices were some high profile arrests, 2008 was a little more diverse, with good news like the debut of Thorns of Life, to political news like Barack Obama's election to sad news like the death of Descendents guitarist Frank Navetta.
Stay tuned for your albums of the year tomorrow.
