I rarely ever buy any music anymore now though. Market is just kinda dry to me so I mainly do movies if anything. All I've mainly been getting this year is the Glee soundtracks. I think the last actual albums I bought were the last new one from Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga. I may pick up the new Christina Aguilera in the coming weeks though.

Laura Marling
Johnny Cash
Florence Welch
Mama Cass
Carl Barat

Edit: I've thought of a load of other people I'd want to put in this list 5 is really not enough.
