Yup, here it is!


To round off the year, I will be counting down my top 25 albums of the year and ultimately my top 100 singles!

For now, I'm going to tease the albums, which will start either within the hour or tomorrow:

There are 3 male artists (that's it!)
There are 2 foreign language albums
5 of the albums never even had a UK release
The oldest entrant in the top 25 is 53 years old, the youngest is 18
There are 7 UK number 1 albums



----
So get speculating tongue.gif

Adele #1

One of the foreign albums is probably 2NE1's NOLZA.

Gaga is one of the UK #1 albums.

I can reveal two of these are wrong, one is right.

I'm not THAT predictable.

OK, kicking off the albums....


25 Nicola Roberts - Cinderella's Eyes



Kicking things off for us is the debut solo album from the arguably the most overlooked member of GA, Team Ginge's own Nicola Roberts! I've always loved her voice so I was definitely anticipating this upon the news she was recording a solo album, and boy did she deliver! There are a lot of different styles on this album, credible pop-rap/dubstep like Beat Of My Drum, perky anthemic pop like Lucky Day and even a heartfelt ballad (Sticks & Stones). This all makes for a surprisingly good album from 'the ginger one who never sings', on par with Cheryl's efforts for me!

Top 5:
01 Sticks & Stones
02 Porcelain Heart
03 Lucky Day
04 Beat Of My Drum
05 Yo-Yo

My chart peak: 2
UK chart peak: 17

Personal chart history:
01 Beat Of My Drum
09 Lucky Day

24 Brooke Fraser - Flags



In a bit of a different direction now, Brooke is a New Zealand folk/pop singer who's seen virtually no UK success bar Something In The Water making number 186 or something equally undeserved (at least 180 places higher plz.)! This is a great album of it's type, and is a natural progression to these ears from her earlier albums. I think if radio picked her up, she could manage even just a top 40 album (which would be great) - I mean Radio 2 playing Something In The Water a tiny bit made it go top 200!

Top 5:
01 Something In The Water
02 Betty
03 Coachella
04 Orphans, Kingdoms
05 Here's To You

My chart peak: 1
UK chart peak: N/A

Personal chart history:
12 Something In The Water
09 Betty
37 Coachella

What? I thought Adele would be your #1 song of the year like you said 3-4 weeks ago unsure.gif

And I thought 2NE1 would make it since you charted nearly all of their songs but I guess not laugh.gif

The one that must be right must be Gaga's album. No way has it not charted tongue.gif

And how is 'Take A Bite' not in your top 5 of 'Cinderella's Eyes'?! ohmy.gif It's my favourite! Although 'Sticks + Stones' is my #2 so you've won a bit of your credability back tongue.gif

It most certainly better not be! drama.gif Although I'm certain it's in your top 10 sad.gif Reminds me that I've gotta do one of these...

I love the spoken breakdown in it! wub.gif I generally prefer the 'out-there' moments in the album rather than the ones that sound 'nice'.

I do, but no way does it deserve to be in anyone's top 10 of the year! It's just so average and MoR, she's had much better songs sad.gif

23 Dev - The Night The Sun Came Up

Now this kind of act generally don't do good albums, but Dev defied this and produced a varied and solid album! Lead single Bass Down Low is a sleek electro-hop number, while second single In The Dark is a Eurodance banger that owes a thing or two to the recent Romanian dance popularity! Dev also goes soppy on Perfect Match and clubby on Breathe. All in all, Dev defies her genre's taboo on albums and produces an album not just of generic club bangers and sleezy hip-hop, but also brilliant pop tracks and even some full on rock in Take Her From You.

Top 5:
01 Take Her From You
02 Lightspeed
03 Breathe
04 In The Dark
05 Bass Down Low

Personal chart history:
31 Bass Down Low
02 In The Dark


22 Jessie J - Who You Are

I'm not going to deny this was an overhyped album but it wasn't entirely undeserved imho. Jessie burst onto the scene with Do It Like A Dude in late 2010, emerging as one the faces we'd surely see a lot more of in 2011. And boy did we see... Price Tag was a mega-hit, hitting number 1 and selling around 900k to date! The album also debuted at number 2 and has sold steadily. Musically, this is a surprisingly versatile album without being too 'try-hard' to fit it all in. We see cocky Jessie on Do It Like A Dude, jazzy Jessie on big-band sounding Mama Knows Best, carefree Jessie in the breezy hit Price Tag, guilty Jessie in Nobody's Perfect and (at her best) emotional Jessie in Who You Are.

Top 5:
01 Who You Are
02 Price Tag
03 Nobody's Perfect
04 Do It Like A Dude
05 Abracadabra

Personal chart history:
02 Do It Like A Dude
02 Price Tag
08 Nobody's Perfect
05 Who You Are
08 Domino

21 Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow

Although Kate is one of my top 20 artists ever, I must admit the concept of the album didn't excite me an awful lot at first. I mean only 7 tracks (7 long tracks), themed around snow and with an ambient theme? But I'm glad I tentatively listened because it's a captivating listen for this time of year, the concept is handled perfectly. It's not an album to take lightly however, it only really hit me when I listened through earphones snuggled up in bed on a particularly cold night. My personal favourite track is Among Angels, I've not seen much love for it but it just grabs me each listen!

Top 5:
01 Among Angels
02 Snowflake
03 Snowed In At Wheeler Street
04 Wild Man
05 Misty

Personal chart history:
41 Wild Man
50 Among Angels (as an album track)
