Song of the Year is Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" and Breakthrough Artist of the Year is Nicki Minaj.
The big story in the App Store: It's a big year for sharing photos and videos with Instagram is iPhone App of the Year and Snapseed is iPad App of the year. iPhone Game of the Year is Tiny Tower and the iPad Game of the Year is Dead Space for iPad.

iTunes Top-Selling TV Series for 2011 is "Doctor Who." Top-Selling TV Episode is from "The Walking Dead."  Top Selling Movie is "The Social Network."
