A 2010 album of a Canadian indie electronic star Grimes is at #50. Deserved a shout out so I've included it into this list. Release years don't matter rly

A bit of a step down from their previous records which shows in the YE chart as well. 2009's To Lose My Life finished at #42 and Ritual was #36 of 2011. The album is good for a few listens but is generally rather forgettable and doesn't grab your attention.

Two albums in one year yay go Justin! This one was a nice effort but for me it lacked some oomph that was more present on the first installment of his 20/20 series. Amnesia is fabulous though.

The album captured attention and lasted for a couple of weeks before getting a bit dull and sounding just not as fresh. Sadness.

Sigur Rós' short EP from the beginning of 2013 is next. Its title track was perfect to convey the spirit of the record and ease everyone into their next album which was by the way pretty damn good. The remaining two tracks are calm and atmospheric. All in all, a very Sigur Rós-esque record.

Britney's latest almost-eponymously titled record is at #45, only 2 places higher than its predecessor Femme Fatale finished in the 2011 chart and a whopping 23 places lower than Circus' 22nd position finish in 2008. The album was hit and miss. Perfume undoubtedly the best track on the album and of the last 6 years of Britney's career, was enough to keep me interested in the album but in the end it couldn't hold the entire thing and when the initial euphoria from the amazingness of Body Ache had passed, there was no way but to delete the album off my playlist.

My favourite band. Oh, how sad to accept this EP was actually pretty crap. Please come back though. This can't be the end of legendary Bloc Party, especially now that Kele's solo material has turned dull and crap.

Sleigh Bells' third album is closing the Top 40 of 2013. The title track managed to crack the Top 10 in the songs chart during the year making it their first ever Top 10 having previously not managed to do it with Infinity Guitars which is ironically considered their best track to-date. Their second album, Reign of Terror, only managed to finish at #42 in last year's overall chart which is also a bit confusing because this record is undoubtedly better than their sophomore LP. With the new album we could see the revival of the original Sleigh Bells which was a very good sign. However, it still felt a bit too polished and watered down as opposed to Treats' raw and fresh energy which made it #8 album of 2010.

Nice record but I'm not exactly rushing to listen to it again and again. My Song 5 and Falling are very nice but I don't even remember how other songs go.

A generally rather samey and generic album apart from a few songs and singles. Confess To Me, which spent 3 weeks at #1 in my chart, is an absolute STOMPER and basically dragged this album on its shoulders into the Top 40! Despite Jessie Ware being generally too mellow (in a bad way) and boring, she can deliver some CHOONS, that's for sure!

First of all, this album has like one of the best covers of the year. Simple, effective, memorable *.* The album is as raw and fabulous as f*** Buttons can be. Tarot Sport finished 27th in the 2009 album list, so it shows they still haven't lost it. yay

After not really feeling their debut album, I didn't really have a lot of hope for this one. But after I saw the trailer and heard The Road everything changed. It is amazing and grabbed my attention instantly! The LP has a few highlights and duds but overall it's a very nice listen, although feels even less mature than their debut record, and it probably should be the other way round.

Let's be honest for one second. It's ALL about Pyrrhic. Couldn't even listen to the full record again after I heard Pyrrhic (40 times in a row). Perfection.

Ingen Kan Love Dig I Morgen

Cheesy Danish pop. Rasmus went to basics now that he pretty much cemented his celebrity status in Denmark. His first album was pop at its best - polished, smart and only consisted of about 40% of cheese (therefore it finished 15th in the best of 2010 list) while this album has about 70% of cheese and is a bit too tame. Won't be mentioning his 2nd album, Mer' end kærlighed, he released 2 years ago, as it's so crap I don't even want to waste time. Ingen Kan Love Dig I Morgen has a track that saves the whole thing from being #67 on this list and its name is Tusind Farver, a PERFECT Eurovision song that never was (or never will be :cry: ).
