November 23, 201410 yr Author Louder was disappointing sadly, Cannonball is INCREDIBLE but a lot of the rest was quite meh :( someone obviously skipped 'Burn With You' and 'What Is Love?' accidentally while listening ^_^
November 23, 201410 yr Author 10 http://i.imgur.com/lJvG4bG.png My Everything Ariana Grande 1-1-2-4-6-9-11-14 8 weeks HIGHLIGHTS Just A Little Bit of Your Heart Love Me Harder Break Free (feat. Zedd) Why Try One Last Time Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea) Really wasn't expecting to like this album as much as I do because I was never that big a fan of Ariana's début, 'Yours Truly', but this is really quite something. There are certainly a few duds on here, but then there are two tracks that are among the very best of the year. 'Just A Little Bit of Your Heart' is so so beautiful, helps that it was also co-written by Harry Styles. And then we have 'Love Me Harder' which just has a bloody KILLER chorus, and the Weeknd feature is a nice touch. Expecting big things from her next album!
November 24, 201410 yr My Everything is pretty fantastic, baffles me as to why they picked Love Me Harder as single 3.

It's not an album I've listened to excessively, but it is one of my favourites of the year. 'Trouble' is a new CLASSIC (much more-so than Iggy Azalea's album x) and 'Undo' remains one of the best ballads of the year (whether that'll be reflective in the songs chart remains to be seen :kink:). <3 glad to see you have this in your top!

A$AP Rocky) Wildfire All Hands on Deck Feels Like Vegas Far Side of the Moon 2 On (feat. ScHoolboy Q) And here's another one that I really didn't expect to love as much as I do! It spent 4 weeks at #1, and it's such a gorgeous album. There are so many highlights on this album, but I've shortened it to just seven. 'Bated Breath'... probably the track where I think "yes, she has an extremely powerful voice that can convey any sort of emotion". There are a few songs on the album that sound as though they should be singles though. And I totally wish I was seeing her live, cursing y'all that are going to see her. :arrr:

It's done respectively well in my chart, but the same definitely cannot be said for her official chart performance, which has been quite dodgy as of late. Really undeserved though considering this is, IMO, her best album to date. The change in sound is definitely very welcome, even if we still have some pure-Pixie tracks there like 'Nasty' which is really cheap, but so so good. :heehee: 'Champion' and 'Lay Me Down' slay almost everything she's done though. *claps* v good effort. And of course we're all DYING to see how 'Platinum Pixie' is going to perform x
November 25, 201410 yr 9 http://boyloco.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/43592-thumb-250x250.jpg Aquarius Tinashe :o YAYYY. Still shocks me (very very pleasantly) how much you got into this. A fab album so i really shouldn't be shocked lol. And you chose all the right highlights too. And here's another one that I really didn't expect to love as much as I do! It spent 4 weeks at #1, and it's such a gorgeous album. There are so many highlights on this album, but I've shortened it to just seven.

November 25, 201410 yr Author 7 http://i.imgur.com/CcSQevS.png Sorry I'm Late Cher Lloyd 4-1-1-1-1-3-4-4-3-6-7-11-13-14-15 15 weeks HIGHLIGHTS Human Sirens Killin' It Sweet Despair Dirty Love M.F.P.O.T.Y I'm still deliberating what the title of this album actually means... A brief reference to women's menstruation, or just the fact that her second album took a very long time to come around after 'I Wish' kind of flopped all over the place? Anyway, this is a rather fab album, so if we got a good album because she took her time with it and didn't just roll it out as soon as 'Sticks + Stones' was over and done with like most other X Factor acts, then she should stick with it. 'Human' is by far one of my songs of the year and definitely the best thing Cher's ever done. And the rest of the album is just really fantastic in general.
November 25, 201410 yr Shocked to see Cher so low :o The album isn't bad but didn't leave a huge impression on me sadly.
November 25, 201410 yr Author 6 http://www.mambaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/gay_music_reviews_Lily_Allen_Sheezus.jpg Sheezus Lily Allen 5-3-2-5-6-7-9-10-13-11-13-12-14-15-15 15 weeks HIGHLIGHTS URL Badman Our Time Air Balloon Silver Spoon Wind Your Neck In Hard Out Here L8 CMMR Probably the biggest turnaround of the year for me. Wasn't a fan of Lily at all until 'Sheezus' landed, and BOOM, we have lift off. 'URL Badman' is one of the best songs to have graced all of our ears this year, while the rest of the album is all largely satisfying. 'Our Time' and 'Air Balloon' are both fabulous in their own different ways. I'm surprised this also lasted as long as it did in my chart, and it shamefully missed #1. Should have been one but alas there must have been better at the time. :kink: Top 5 coming tomorrow...
November 25, 201410 yr Sheezus :wub: an underrated album I think! Not as good as her previous album but still great.
November 26, 201410 yr Author 5 http://img.releaselyrics.com/bf5c/alyssa-reid-time-bomb.jpg Time Bomb Alyssa Reid 1-1-3-3-6-10-11-13-4-7-10-13-16-15-X-13-15-18 17 non-consecutive weeks HIGHLIGHTS Gravity Time Bomb Last Chance (feat. JRDN) Running Guns Change Your Mind Radio Silence Satisfaction Guaranteed Another big surprise for me this year is liking, and LOVING, an Alyssa Reid album. Had only ever been aware of her existence via Joseph, and was not all that enamoured by 'The Game' so wasn't expecting anything major at all from this, but it's an album full of highlights and her sample of 'Defying Gravity' is stunning (a much better attempt than Kimberly Walsh anyway x). 'Time Bomb' is such a stunning ballad also. And although there are a lot of intermissions and strange sounds scattered throughout the album, it feels as though it's actually telling a story along the way so that's a nice touch I think.
November 26, 201410 yr The Game is basically like a slightly less good version of the same album!!1! :kink: YAAAAAAAY at Alyssa being so high here though - higher than in mine :lol:
November 26, 201410 yr Author The Game is basically like a slightly less good version of the same album!!1! :kink: well you would say that x I'm yet to actually like anything from that album, 'Alone Again' aside. :kink:
November 26, 201410 yr Author 4 http://i.imgur.com/viHnt21.jpg FOUR One Direction 2-1 2 weeks to date HIGHLIGHTS 18 Change Your Ticket Fireproof Night Changes Illusion Where Do Broken Hearts Go Fool's Gold Spaces It was going to take a lot for the boys to top 'Midnight Memories' in my eyes (and ears), but they've just gone and done it. 'Midnight Memories' seems like a bit of a distant memory now, and this album is really different to their previous ones, but still has that core "One Direction" element and sound to it. The clear highlight on this album is '18'. By far and away their best ballad, and probably already close to the top of my list of best 1D songs. :kink: 'Change Your Ticket' is really gorgeous as well, had that on repeat the last couple of days! There's just too many highlights to choose from, but yes. FAVE. But onto more important matters - who has made the all-important top 3? x
November 26, 201410 yr Author 3 http://www.slantmagazine.com/assets/music/kissmeonce.jpg Kiss Me Once Kylie Minogue 1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-5-6-7-8-6-5-6-8-9-10-11-12-12-8-8-10-9-8-9-11-13-8-9-8-9-11-12-1-2 37 weeks to date HIGHLIGHTS If Only Kiss Me Once Sexy Love Into the Blue Fine Sexercize Feels So Good Narrowly missing out on the top spot by two places (with very little in it between all of the top 3 (well, maybe not the #1, but still)), is Kylie with the fantastic 'Kiss Me Once'. This album has its absolute HIGHS but then it has those moments where you're just like "oh this made it onto the album..? why?". 'I Was Gonna Cancel' is just one of the cheapest things she's done in her quarter-century-and-a-bit career. 'Beautiful' is a nice enough track but a) doesn't really go anywhere and b) people are far too harsh on it. :( Sounded gorgeous on the tour. Although it does beg the question - why did the likes of the aforementioned and 'Les Sex' make the main album over 'Sleeping With the Enemy', etc? A SOLID album though, and I can't wait to see what she's going to throw at us next (even if it could be in the distant future)!
