 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanksgiving is over here in the US, and you know what that means: the cavalcade of &quot;Best of 2008&quot; lists is here. Apple has created &lt;a href=&quot;http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.itunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewGrouping%253Fid%253D26300&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a special page&lt;/a&gt; (iTunes link) on the iTunes store highlighting the most purchased/downloaded items in the store for 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The page includes sections for the best &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewCustomPage?name=pageiTunes2008_Music&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;album&lt;/a&gt;, music, &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewCustomPage?name=pageiTunes2008_Audiobooks&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;audiobooks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewCustomPage?name=pageiTunes2008_Movies&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;movies&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewCustomPage?name=pageiTunes2008_TV&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;TV shows&lt;/a&gt; of the year. This is a great way to review the year that was, and see just how far out of touch I have become in regards to pop culture (is it a bad thing that I have never heard of any of the iTunes 2008 top songs? I mean, I&#039;m still hip with the kids. I can get jiggy with it and what have you).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get out there and celebrate the dawn of 2009 by buying stuff that was popular in 2008. It is the American way, after all.&lt;/p&gt;
