Yay for Beneath Your Beautiful and Don't Wake Me Up. :D

 

Boo for Shine Ya Light. :puke: The last straw would be if you included Good Time in your chart. :(

LOL. 'Good Time' is still to come (well it was a number 1 after all :P).

 

Thanks for all the comments so far guys, I WILL reply soon. But I just cba right now tbf. Was planning on posting the next lot of albums before work. But meh... no motivation whatsoever.

 

To wet your appetite, from the next set of albums this is my favourite album track:

031. Paloma Faith | 'Fall to Grace' [8-8] ; (2 Weeks)

032. Alicia Keys | 'Girl On Fire' [14-11-15-14] ; (4 Weeks) **STILL CHARTING**

040. Jason Mraz | 'Love Is A Four Letter Word' [7-5-7-8-10-10] ; (6 Weeks)

 

Off we go with #31 and it's Paloma Faith's sophomore album, 'Fall to Grace'. The chart run is not justified as, I keep getting urges to listen to this album now. A very nice album, mainly filler, but they're nice enough. Alicia Keys is back and finishes at #32 with a month old album. It's a disappointing effort from her. Bruno Mars and The Script are also next with their latest releases. Bruno suffers from being fairly new and you can see that I'm growing to like the album in some way or another. The Script on the other hand... I really can't get into '#3' and I really don't know why! Maybe it's all too samey and predictable now? Maroon 5 enter at #35 this year. Cover Drive's floptastic debut album is at number 36. The first greatest hits collection to feature is next and it's from boyband, McFly. Mandy Capristo's decent effort finishes at number 38! Jessie Ware and Jason Mraz round off the top 40. Jason Mraz seems to have a slightly better chart run than I initially thought though... strange really as I cannot remember anything from it, other than 'I Won't Give Up'... :lol:

080. Adam Lambert | 'Better Than I Know Myself' [30-15-11-9-16-22-40] ; (7 Weeks)

 

Up now, Maroon 5 kick us off with the delightful enough, 'Payphone'. 2012 sees them secure their most successful year as a band to date. Thanks to the success of 'Moves Like Jagger' (VOMIT), they seem to be everywhere now! Jessie J's second release from the re-release of her debut album is at #72. will.i.am secures his first entry at number 73. His duet with Britishney is still to come. Former Ojnoj entry and representative, Queen of Hearts is the highest of my entries this year at #74. Drake gets an entry at number 75 with his duet with Rihanna, 'Take Care'. Dia Frampton scores herself an entry at #76 with 'The Broken Ones', it really should have been given a major push as it's stunning. Lise Karlsnes gets herself the next two positions as former FSR Rontvia entry 'Red Hot' and her Melodi Grand Prix finalist 'Sailors' are together at #77 & #78! Another Ojnoj entry at #79, this time by My Name Is Kay. Who asks for the help of Pusha T with the single, 'Strangers'. Adam Lambert's best single yet and the anthemic 'Better Than I Know Myself', is at #80. Another song which could have been huge had it been promoted as the lead single, instead of 'Never Close Our Eyes'.

070. Justin Bieber | 'Boyfriend' [8-10-7-16-27] ; (5 Weeks)

 

At 61 is Jason Mraz, with the lovely 'I Won't Give Up'. Should have had a better chart run in my chart, but I was a late comer to this song! Seems to be a theme of 2012 for me! Leona Lewis and her comeback single, 'Trouble' lands at a disappointing #62 and it is the first number 1 single to feature on the EOY countdown. Orion with her scandinavian, pop stomper 'In the End' is at #63, whilst Coldplay also enlist the help from Rihanna and get another EOY position for me! This time at #64 with 'Princess of China'. Loreen's disco stormer 'My Heart Is Refusing Me' is the first of 3 entries from her to enter, at a respectable #65. Aiden Grimshaw's 'Curtain Call' is at #66, as last years 3rd place contestant, Amelia Lily is straight after with her infectious, Xenomania produced pop track, 'You Bring Me Joy'. At #68 is probably the incredibly unluckiest guy in 2012, with his aptly titled track, 'Amazing'. Had he entered melodifestivalen last year with this, he would have stormed Sweden to another victory with this, 12 months before Loreen would have won for Sweden again, this year. Nicola Roberts beautiful track, 'Yo-Yo' is at #69 as Justin Bieber's comeback single, 'Boyfriend' finishes up this section at number 70. Still with another 2 entries to come.

There are some really nice songs in that last section, such as Laserlight and This Is Love - they really did deserve more love than they got when they came out! :(

030. Agnes | 'Veritas' [6-4-7-10-10] ; (5 Weeks)

 

Next for the albums One Direction's sophomore effort 'Take Me Home', actually makes enough of an impact on me to chart this year. It's still currently charting and is a very good, pop album! Girls Aloud's flawless singles are put together on one album, again. Missing out a couple of my favourites though! The new tracks were decent enough, but not good enough for a comeback/greatest hits of theirs! Dia Frampton's beautiful album, 'Red' becomes the 2nd highest "Red" album. Comfortably beating Ne-Yo's album but not managing to be quite as good as Taylor's album of the same name. Frank Ocean's proper debut album is an entry at #24. Ke$ha's follow up to her brilliant debut makes enough impression on just two weeks to get herself a number 25 placing. P!nk's new album fails to impress (by P!nk's standards). I don't particularly "hate" anything. It's all just average, bar 3 or 4 tracks. Azealia Banks anticipated EP, 'Fantasea' makes an impression and finishes at #27 for the EOY 2012 charts. Labrinth's debut album is a mixed bag. Some of it's good but the other half is forgettable. Not necessarily bad, just forgettable. Young London's first album is at #29, with Agnes' follow up to 'Dance. Love. Pop', enters at #30, despite it containing one of the best songs of 2012.

Ouch at Leona Lewis - Trouble flopping after spending two weeks number one!

 

Whatever the weather we going to be better together Jon!

Just missing out at the halfway stage, we have a selection of songs which were once great, but they then got introduced to CapitalFM and ugh. Over exposure! David Guetta and Sia are at #51. fun.'s very good follow up to smash hit, 'We Are Young' is next up. The first of two The Killers tracks, courtesy of 'Miss Atomic Bomb' - which is still charting - is at number 53. Rihanna's huge hit, 'Where Have You Been' is at #54. She has Calvin Harris to thank a LOT, lately. Olly Murs' 3rd and final single from 'In Case You Didn't Know' shows up at #55. One Direction's only entry in my top 100 (LWWY got to #111), is at 56. Kelly Clarkson's 'Dark Side' is the first of 3 entries inside the top 100 ('Get Up' missed out!) for her at #57. Possibly the most overplayed hit EVER from CapitalFm up next at #58, 'Domino' by Jessie J. David Guetta teams up with Nicki Minaj to get another entry at #59 and finally, B.o.B's first of two entries and it's his comeback single 'So Good'.

Domino is easily Jessie J's best song tbh. Ouch at DarkSide #FlopLoon.

Domino is easily Jessie J's worst song tbh.

 

There we go, remember to thank me when I correct stuff for you. :D

050. Simple Plan | 'Summer Paradise' (feat. Sean Paul) [30-12-20-22-28] ; (5 Weeks)

 

Starting off in this section is the highest of two entries for Train! '50 Ways to Say Goodbye' really should have been just as big as 'Drive By', although I suspect the reason it wasn't was due to how similar to DB it is! Misha B has her only entry at #42. It should have been bigger than what it was here in the UK! Such an anthem. Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen's duet, 'Good Times' is the second number 1 from my chart to enter and at a position of #43. Justin Bieber & Nicki Minaj team up to collaborate on the monster hit single, 'Beauty & A Beat'. More from both artists later! Cheryl's only entry inside the top 100 is 'Call My Name' at #42. It took it's time to grow on me, but Calvin has a tendency to grow on me! From the world of Scandipop, Darin enters at a respectable #46. He is the third number 1 to enter in my EOY chart, and finishes at #46. P!nk's current single 'Try', is at #47. It took it's time to properly click with me. But then she unleashed the iconic video and then came the performance at the VMA's! Mumford & Sons comeback single and lead single from 'Babel', 'I Will Wait' is at #48. Train's final entry, 'Drive By' comes in at #49 and finally a song which, again, I didn't really heard properly until it was almost out the charts. This time it's the summer anthem 'Summer Paradise' by Simple Plan!

ALBUMS:

 

20: Leona Lewis | 'Glassheart'

 

Chart Run: [2-4-3-8-6-11-13] ; (7 Weeks)

 

Top 5:

01. 'Glassheart'

02. 'Come Alive'

03. 'Un-Love Me'

04. 'Fingerprint'

05. 'Trouble'

 

Kicking off the top 20 albums is someone who is no stranger to my EOY charts, in both the albums countdowns and singles countdowns. The deluxe edition of 'Spirit' finished tenth in the 2008 EOY countdown, whilst 'Echo' reached number 3 in 2009 (behind two behemoths from Keri Hilson and Kelly Clarkson!)! This album really isn't all that bad, it's just Leona has so much potential and it seems like she's being completely wasted after 'Echo' showed so much promise. I just find a couple of the tracks extremely strong and the rest decent-average fillers.

---

19: Carly Rae Jepsen | 'Kiss'

 

Chart Run: [2-4-4-6-3-4-7-8] ; (8 Weeks)

 

Top 5:

01. 'Call Me Maybe'

02. 'Tonight I'm Getting Over You'

03. 'Good Time' (& Owl City)

04. 'Tiny Little Bows'

05. 'Your Heart Is A Muscle'

 

Next is breakthrough star, Carly Rae Jepsen with her brilliant, pop album 'Kiss'. You couldn't get a much more poppier, album if you tried this year! The strongest thing about this album is that it is packed full of hooks and catchy melodies, to keep the average pop fan happy. Obviously WW smash 'Call Me Maybe', is one of the ultimate pop songs in recent years and there was a lot of pressure on her to come up with something equally as good. I think she delivered. The only thing I'd say bad about this, is it does tend to get "samey" and majority of the production, whilst good, still sounds a bit watered down/cheap and tinny. But for what it's worth, it's one of the strongest pure, pop albums of recent years.

---

18: Rihanna | 'Unapologetic'

 

Chart Run: [4-9-10-9] ; (4 Weeks) **STILL CHARTING**

 

Top 5:

01. 'Stay' (feat. Mikky Ekko)

02. 'Diamonds'

03. 'Lost In Paradise'

04. 'What Now'

05. 'Half Of Me'

 

Another star who is no stranger to my EOY charts. Rihanna is usually the QUEEN of delivering a strong, solid album. But 'Talk That Talk' and 'Unapologetic' have struggled to live to the epic levels of 'Good Girl Gone Bad', 'Rated R' and 'Loud'. This, however, was to be expected. She couldn't continue at the rate she does and give a near perfect album every time. This album is an album of two halves, the weakest half is, surprisingly the first half of the album. The first 5 tracks are up there as some of her worst tracks (save for 'Diamonds'), but the album picks up from track 6 (and with a couple of "meh" moments) and is generally a lot better. The highlights of TTT and this album would make the perfect Rihanna album, imo. When she's strong, no one does it better than her!

---

17: Mumford & Sons | 'Babel'

 

Chart Run: [2-3-4-6-6-6-9-10-15] ; (9 Weeks)

 

Top 5:

01. 'I Will Wait'

02. 'The Boxer' (feat. Jerry Douglas & Paul Simon)

03. 'Whispers In the Dark'

04. 'Babel'

05. 'Ghosts That We Know'

 

At number 17 we have the fastest selling album of 2012, 'Babel' by none other than Mumford & Sons. This album is just as cohesive and consistent as their debut album, 'Sigh No More'. It's really weird to think how they've broken through the way that they have. Who'd have thought folk would be this popular? But it's easy to see why, as this album delivers. Although it's not QUITE as strong as SNM, it still packs a punch as good as that did! 'I Will Wait' is the 2nd best thing I've heard from them, behind 'Little Lion Man'. The only flaw I can pick with this, is that it can sometimes get tiring and you just need a slight break from the album, before listening to it again as it can get quite samey at points.

---

16: Taylor Swift | 'Red'

 

Chart Run: [2-2-7-7-13-12-12-12] ; (8 Weeks) **STILL CHARTING**

 

Top 5:

01. 'I Knew You Were Trouble'

02. 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'

03. '22'

04. 'Sad. Beautiful. Tragic.'

05. 'State Of Grace'

 

At number 16 is none other than, Queen Teen Idol, Taylor "good girl" Swift. Who'd have thought, Taylor would deliver a pop album quite as strong as this? For my money, the pop songs are better than her country songs, but her country style songs on this album really aren't as bad as others from her! I love how she experimented with this album mixing pop with country and then throwing in a bit of dubstep! It all makes for an impressive album. IKYWT, the current single, is so good and genuinely one of the best songs of this year! I hope she does another album like this next era, because she's found a new fan in me! (As well as others!)

Miss Atomic Bomb TOO LOW :(

Miss Atomic Bomb is good, but Runaways is much better! I really hope that Runaways has a good chance of being #2! :wub: (because we all know who's going to be #1 :P)

So you have NO idea what could be number 2? REALLY? R-R-R-REALLY? :o

 

'Miss Atomic Bomb' is brilliant and I'm actually liking it the more I hear it! It will definitely overtake 'Runaways' in a few months for me, but I still have a major soft spot for 'Runaways' :wub:

I have a major hard spot for anything Brandon related :kink:

Jonjo! :o :wub:

Ooft, amazing start to the albums :wub: Haven't actually listened to Babel in full yet, but I really like all the others! Shame Red didn't get higher though, and I'm surprised Unapologetic and especially Glassheart weren't a bit higher for you :o

This chart is like a Saturdays campaign (minus Missing You) AWFUL.
