Top-15 of most popular news Metal From Finland had in 2009

2009 was a very interesting year for finnish rock and metalmusic to say the least. Finnish rock and metalbands kept us very busy and MFF posted a total of 1130 news during last year. That means over 3 news per day...not bad eh? But what were the most popular news we had on 2009? Well needless to say that most of them were related to Nightwish or Tarja Turunen and therefore we will exclude some of the NW and Tarja-related news from this list. Mainly they were popular cause people commented those news so much.

But here is the list of most popular news we had in MFF during 2009!
