List of tracks awarded Pitchfork Best New Track in 2009 (original) (raw)

The online music magazine Pitchfork Media began awarding songs Best New Track (BNT) in its track reviews in 2009 as part of its Best New Music section. A total of 98 tracks, which the source reviewed album-only cuts, singles, remixes, a-sides and b-sides of singles and so forth, were given the title in its first year. All BNTs have a rating of 8/10 or higher, although not all tracks awarded 8/10 were titled BNT. Only two tracks were awarded a perfect 10/10 score in 2009: "While You Wait for the Others" (Grizzly Bear) and "What Would I Want? Sky" (Animal Collective). This list does not contain tracks that were included on Pitchfork's best of year lists but did not receive BNT.
