In 2012, we wanted to know your favorite song. But with the absolute wealth music fans have had this year, we knew we couldn't make you choose just one single. So instead, we asked who your favorite music artists were. And after counting up the votes, here are the 10 musicians who came out on top:cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":true,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":1,"title":"CNN Readers\' Favorites 2013: Music artists"}
Robin Thicke likely thought 2013 was going to be far kinder than it was. He had a surefire smash with "Blurred Lines," and an album ready to reap the rewards. Instead, he got hit with controversy after controversy, and no other single has caught on like that one. At least he made the readers' favorites list, though!cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":2,"title":"No. 10: Robin Thicke"}For nearly the entirety of 2013, Beyoncé's fans were dying for an album. The hunger for it was almost palpable as the star teased the BeyHive with an iconic Super Bowl performance, snippets of songs and Pepsi-related adver-tunes. And then out of the blue in December, just in time for the holidays and because she's the Queen, Bey -- make that Yonce -- showed up with a full album, plus videos. Bow down indeed. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":3,"title":"No. 9: Beyoncé"}

Taylor Swift's "Red," released in October 2012, was so strong it kept rocking right through 2013. Songs such as "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Red" and "22" are tracks that are tailor-made for singing at the top of your lungs. Swift rode this album all the way to the bank. And, for that matter, to the No. 8 spot on our readers' favorites list. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":4,"title":"No. 8: Taylor Swift"}
Out of nowhere, Eminem decided to announce in August that he had an album on the way in the fall. And, even better, it was called "Marshall Mathers LP 2," an indication that the Slim Shady we fell in love with had returned to the booth. We weren't disappointed -- and, judging by his ranking, neither were CNN readers. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":5,"title":"No. 7: Eminem"}
If the only Lorde song you know is "Royals," it's OK -- but it is time to dig deep into her album, "Pure Heroine." The 17-year-old New Zealand native became a 2013 success story thanks to that single's dominance on the top of Billboard's Hot 100, but there's more to her than the fact that she'll never be a royal (rooooooyal). cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":6,"title":"No. 6: Lorde"}
It's hard to think of a year when Rihanna isn't cranking out hit after hit. This year she led the way with singles such as "Stay" and "Pour It Up," not to mention her collaboration with Eminem, "Monster."cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":7,"title":"No. 5: Rihanna"}
These two "Thrift" shoppers were also game-changers in 2013. They had two hot singles, "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us," but they also had "Same Love," a track that was not only sonically sound but contained a message that carried major impact. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":8,"title":"No. 4: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis"}
This year, Katy Perry let the light in, and CNN readers ate it up. The singer's fall release, "Prism," rocketed to No. 1, and has been cruising on the strength of singles such as "Roar" and "Unconditionally." cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":9,"title":"No. 3: Katy Perry"}
Bruno Mars' "Unorthodox Jukebox" is one of the top albums of the year, and CNN readers agree. Although Bruno didn't chart in 2012 with a single, his overall artistry helped him reach second place in 2013. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":10,"title":"No. 2: Bruno Mars"}
After making us wait seven years for a new album, Justin Timberlake finally delivered. Well, at least partially -- the first half of his "20/20 Experience" was far better received than the second installment. But no matter! CNN readers have missed his blue-eyed pop soul so much that they voted him straight to No. 1. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":11,"title":"No. 1: Justin Timberlake"}HIDE CAPTIONCNN Readers' Favorites 2013: Music artistsNo. 10: Robin ThickeNo. 9: BeyoncéNo. 8: Taylor SwiftNo. 7: EminemNo. 6: LordeNo. 5: RihannaNo. 4: Macklemore & Ryan LewisNo. 3: Katy PerryNo. 2: Bruno MarsNo. 1: Justin Timberlake<<<

Justin Timberlake made his return to music last the entire year, while Eminem's comeback with "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" was more impromptu.Kanye West went left with "Yeezus" while Jay Z tried to upset the way albums are released -- only to be upstaged by his wife, Beyoncé, mere months later.And when CNN readers chose as their favorites of 2013, there were surprises there as well. Where 2012 was dominated by artists who were carried on the strength of one song -- Carly Rae Jepsen, Gotye and Psy -- 2013 favored the more established, as well as the artists who showed that they had more than a single hit to offer.At No. 1 was Mr. "Suit & Tie" Justin Timberlake, followed by industry "Treasure" Bruno Mars and an enlightened Katy Perry. There were still a few artists who shone brightly thanks to a boost from a particular song -- such as Lorde with "Royals" and Robin Thicke with "Blurred Lines" -- but even those musicians have much more to offer beyond those undeniable hits of 2013.Dare we say it, but could 2013 have been the year of the album? We think it looks like CNN readers voted that way.If you missed our voting period, feel free to play along in the comments.
