The "Torrent Top" charts of 2009 were the rebellious, unregulated cousins of the Billboard Hot 100. They didn't reflect what people were buying; they reflected what people actually wanted to listen to, often regardless of copyright laws.

On the pop side, Lady Gaga dominated the bandwidth. Her debut album The Fame (and the later The Fame Monster ) was inescapable. Tracks like "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance" were among the most individually seeded MP3 files of the year. The Black Eyed Peas also held top spots with The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies). The album’s dance-pop sound was perfectly suited for the era's ringtones and high-energy playlists, making it a staple in torrent "Top 100" lists.
