thank you for the move! Sorry for the delay in the first 5, but I had to take care of some business teresa.gif OK so lets get going with numbers 50-46

50


Album: Fever (2001)
Artist: Kylie Minogue
Highlights: More More More, Fever, Come Into My World & Love At First Sight

49


Album: Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008)
Artist: Coldplay
Highlights: Viva La Vida, Violet Hill, Yes, Strawberry Swing

48


Album: Feels So Good (2002)
Artist: Atomic Kitten
Highlights: Feels So Good, It's OK, Softer The Touch, Walking On Water

47


Album: Butterfly (1997)
Artist: Mariah Carey
Highlights: Honey, Butterfly, The Beautiful Ones, Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)

46


Album: Unwritten (2004)
Artist: Natasha Bedingfield
Highlights: Unwritten, Size Matters, Wild Horses, These Words

Just Missed Out Album


A mixed bunch starts of with "Fever" the million selling album from Kylie! It's a great electro pop song filled with disco anthems but a few songs have become dated and boring which is a very big problem with Kylie albums. Coldplay are next with the masterpiece "Viva La Vida" released just last year, people say it's there best work yet but nothing will ever beat "X & Y". Atomic Kitten come next with a album not on HMV called "Feels So Good". Just like Kylie the girls have made an amazing up tempo feel good pop anthem. Flying in at 47 is "Butterfly" from Mariah, a lovely love album released after divorcing the Sony producer guy and is probably her best work ever. And finishing of is "Unwritten" by Bedingfield. It's an acoustic and R&B album which is a bit of mix matched couple but she pulls it of well

Just missing out is Sheryl Crow's self titled album! After her "All I Wanna Do" image, the darker edgier woman really won me over with singles like "If It Makes You Happy" and "A Change Would Do You Good"

41


Album: Hard Candy (2008)
Artist: Madonna
Highlights: Beat Goes On, Miles Away, She's Not Me, Give It 2 Me

Album That Just Missed Out


Album: Santogold (2007)
Album: Santogold


At number 45 is Canadian singer Alanis who has been kind of popular since the 1990's, her latest album brings back the dark sound that had previously been missing from her previous studio album. Lily Allen's debut album comes next, this is a brilliant album because of it's tongue and cheek lyrics. 43 goes to the "Alesha Show" from Alesha Dixon! This song is amazingly hot, her album is filled with fast paced R&B/Pop tracks and some amazing slow tracks, I just want it to crack the UK top 10 so bad though. Another Canadian comes next from Celine Dion with her last studio album "Taking Chances" which is some of her most powerful work yet but did so badly in the charts. And finishing of with the sticky and sweet sound of Madonna with "Hard Candy". The album is certainly her worst work but it still has some great songs on there and all the songs can easily enter your mind and not leave.

The next album I missed out is "Satongold". I bought the album after hearing 3 songs from the album on the television and on the radio and I'm in love with it. They need bigger success than what they have at the moment

OK guys! here is 40-36

40


Album: U218 (2007)
Artist: U2
Highlights: Pride (In The Name Of Love), Vertigo, The Saints Are Coming, Sometimes You Can Make It On Your Own

39


Album: X (2007)
Artist: Kylie Minogue
Highlights: Speakerphone, In My Arms, No More Rain, Wow

38


Album: Breakaway (2004/5)
Artist: Kelly Clarkson
Highlights: Breakaway, Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Hear Me

37


Album: We Started Nothing (2008)
Artist: The Ting Tings
Highlights: Shut Up And Let Me Go, Be The One, Keep Your Head, That's Not My Name

36


Album: Like A Prayer (1989)
Artist: Madonna
Highlights: Like A Prayer, Promise To Try, Love Song, Dear Jessie

Album That Missed Out


Album: Moulin Rouge Original Soundtrack
Artist: Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor mainly

OK so this time round U2 start things of with one of their greatest hits albums, I don't own any U2 albums but hear them all the time and so when U218 came out I had to buy it, all the songs are pure anthems. Kylie's back at number 39 with her flopping "X" album, there some amazing tracks on here that are amazing and so catchy, I still think "No More Rain" is a masterpiece. Then at 38 is teen pop sensation Kelly Clarkson with her 2nd album "Breakaway", probably her best album so far with so much emotional songs and her powerful voice it sometimes brings a tear to my eye. 37 goes to The Ting Tings with their debut album "We Started Nothing" which is extremely hot, I love there simple and complicated beats on their songs and Katie's voice is so cool. And finishing of is "Like A Prayer" from Madonna, a legend of an album, I bought this in 2005 after the Confessions boom and it's one of the best 80's albums out there

The next "didn't quiet make it album" goes to the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack. It's one of the few soundtracks I'll listen to properly, And I only bought it this year.

35


Album: Parallel Lines (1978)
Artist: Blondie
Highlights: Heart Of Class, Hanging On The Telephone, Sunday Girl, Picture This

34


Album: Thank You (2003)
Artist: Jamelia
Highlights: Thank You, Cutie, B.I.T.C.H, Superstar

33


Album: Seventh Tree (2008)
Artist: Goldfrapp
Highlights: A&E, Clowns, Happiness, Eat Yourself

32


Album: Autobiography
Artist: Ashlee Simpson
Highlights: Pieces Of Me, Autobiography, Undiscovered, Love Makes The World Go Round

31


Album: Whoa, Nelly!
Artist: Nelly Furtado
Highlights: I'm Like A Bird, Turn Of The Lights, Legend, Well Well

Album That Missed Out


Album: Demon Days (2005)
Artist: Gorillaz

This next batch goes to the girls of..whatever, Starting of with rock legends Debbie Harry & Blondie with their biggest album 'Parallel Lines", it's amazing and catchy songs match the tone of Debbie's voice and I can never get "Heart Of Glass" out of my head. Jamelia comes next with her 2nd album "Thank You" which won her a Brit Award or MOBO or something like that, I'm in love with the sound of this album, the poppy and R&B sounds are perfect for any summer party. Alison Goldfrapp is next with Goldfrapp's latest album "Seventh Tree" which is more folky than there previous albums but goes back to their "Felt Mountain" routes. Next is Ashlee Simpson with her debut rock/pop album 'Autobiography", I think this is the best any of the Simpsons have done, it just sums up her life so well in her song writing. And finally pop who turned to acoustic who turned to R&B singer Furtado comes at number 31 with her debut album as well, whilst it's probably not as exciting as her next to albums the songs have become personal favorites of mine and "I'm Like A Bird" was a wicked single

Gorillaz just missed out on the chart with there album 'Demon Days". I never thought about them until I saw them perform with Madonna at the Grammys and thought that, that song was incredibly catchy and their second single "Dare" was also a great song, totally deserved the number one spot

30-26

30


Album: The Sweet Escape (2006)
Artist: Gwen Stefani
Highlights: The Sweet Escape, Wonderful Life, Now That You Got It, Early Winter

29


Album: Blackout (2007)
Artist: Britney Spears
Highlights: Heaven On Earth, Piece Of Me, Everybody, Ooh Ooh Baby

28


Album: ABBA Gold (1992)
Artist: ABBA
Highlights: Mamma Mia, Money Money Money, The Winner Takes It All, One Of Us

27


Album: Chemistry (2005)
Artist: Girls Aloud
Highlights: Biology, Swinging London Town, See The Day, Models

26


Album: Kala (2007)
Artist: M.I.A.
Highlights: Boyz, Jimmy, Paper Planes, Come Around

Album That Missed Out


Album: S Club
Artist: S Club 7

OK so from 30 to 26 we kick things of with Gwen Stefani and her second album obviously not as good as her first one but the R&B sound she has is really catchy. 29 goes to "Blackout" by Britney, the songs are really good considering what was going on whilst recording it, obviously tons more of her albums are a lot better than this but I become so attached to it now. 28 goes to ABBA with their biggest hits "Gold". Yes they are cheesy and came from the 70's but without them Pop wouldn't be pop today, their classic songs have always been on my iPod weather from Gold or from the Mamma Mia soundtrack. At 27 we finally see the first appearance of Girls Aloud with their 3rd studio album "Chemistry". It sounds amazing and is one of their best albums to date and was the last time we ever saw a ballad on their albums. And finally 26 goes M.I.A. with Kala, I love this album because of it's weird sounds and lyrics, it's a shame she's not that big in the UK

And the album that didn't quite make it goes to the cheesy 7, S Club 7 with their debut album, why I hear you ask? Well it's really catchy and summery! You can't beat some classic S Club 7
