We start moving into the Album Chart now where I absolutely pretty much love all of the albums.

Coming in - shockingly at # 7 is The Vamps "Meet The Vamps", their first Studio Album. To be honest I thought this would be a Top 5 album of the year for me but somehow it managed to just fall short.

 

The Vamps were an Australian all-female rock band formed in April 1965 with guitarist Margaret Britt. DON'T BELIEVE ME?! LOOK IT UP.

 

Seriously tho - the REAL Vamps released this pop gem earlier in the year. Interestingly enough - didn't start becoming a fan until they released their second single "Wild Heart" and their album.

When listening to the album I released rejecting "Can We Dance" was a huge miss. This would have gone Top 5 easily for me.

 

The Vamps, although performing admirably on my chart producing 5 songs from their debut album to chart, didn't fair too well.

"Wild Heart" spent no time in my Top 5. "Dangerous" which was a promotional single only spent 1 week in my Top 10. "Last Night" spent only 1 week in my Top 15 and 5 weeks charting overall. "Oh Cecillia" also didn't do well either, peaking at #27 in my chart - also I passed on that shitty Shawn Mendes version. Finally "Somebody To You" spent only 2 weeks in my Top 10.

 

Don't mean any discredit to The Vamps, it's just been a tough year on my chart overall. I actually give The Vamps a lot of credit - they're probably one of my favorite new artists this year*.

I look forward to seeing where they're going. I think The Vamps are fresh, I'd love to see some new material in 2015.

 

*Yes, I realize "Can We Dance" was released in 2013.

Favorite Tracks:

Ego

What Are You Waiting For?

Up

Forever Is Over

Disco Love

Notorious

Gentleman

Walking Through The Desert

 

Charted Songs:

The Saturdays - Not Giving Up [CR: 35-12-12-09-19-11-06-04-06-09-09-15 - 12 Weeks]

The Saturdays - Walking Through The Desert [CR: 18-15-08-23 - 4 Weeks]

The Saturdays - What Are You Waiting For? [CR: 22-01-01-02-04-02-06-02-05-04-23-23 - 12 Weeks]

 

 

FIRST AND ONLY "BEST HITS" IN THE TOP 15 BTW.

The Saturday's Greatest Hits album. Where do we begin. Let's discuss the singles that were released this year.

 

"Not Giving Up" did alright I suppose, 6 Weeks in the Top 10, but never got any higher than 4th.

"Waking Through The Desert" was a MAHOOSIVE Album Track that really should have been a single (if it was, maybe it would have done better) and

"What Are You Waiting For?" probably one of my favorite tracks from this year. Spent 2 weeks at #1 and lasted 12 weeks.

 

Are The Saturdays still around? Haven't been following. Their "Greatest Hits" album is chalked with their hits, such as "Higher" and.. "Up?", and some misses such as "30 Days" and "Issues" (IMO, worst tracks).

 

The Saturdays will always have a special place in my heart. Seriously tho. They broken up yet?!

Lily Allen - As Long As I Got You [CR: 33-19-31-28-26-29 - 6 Weeks]

 

This is where the competition gets #fierce

 

Coming 4th this year is Lily Allen's album SHEEZUSSSS.

Such an awesome album. I've always been a huge fan of Lily Allen and she did not let me down with this. Infact I was in awe of how amazing this album was.

 

What's shocking, looking back - not a single one of her songs went #1 on my chart. "Hard Out Here" came close at #2 one week, but the rest of the songs from the album didn't even touch the Top 5.

 

Alot of people consider URL Badman was one of the best tracks on the album, but TBH.. Didn't really love it. I also questioned the release of "As Long As I Got You". There were stronger tracks on the album.

 

I also seem to be missing a chart run for "Our Time" as well, that was a great track but really got muddled with the release of "Air Balloon" and the album right around that time.

 

BRING US MOAR LILY.

#03: SANNA NIELSEN - 7

Favorite Tracks:

Skydivin'

Rainbow

Undo (Duh)

Trouble

Ready

 

Charted Songs:

Sanna Nielsen - Undo [CR: 24-03-01-01-05-02-05-01-01-01-01-01-01-03-02-07-05-10-11-07-10-08-07-07-18-26 - 26 Weeks]

Sanna Nielsen - Trouble [CR: 24-02-04-01-05-09-14-13-10-24-08-30 - 12 Weeks]

 

"Won't be lying by the f***ed on the rainbow, f***ed on the rainbow" http://penanghokkien.com/images/explicit.png

 

No, those weren't the actual lyrics. But that's what I hear everytime I listen to "Rainbow".

 

Seriously. How did an album that only had 2 charting tracks (and one real released single) come in at #3?

By being awesome. That's how. </barneystinson>

 

I wasn't expecting anything from this album. Sanna has a tendency to have a couple corker tracks, and a whole bunch of ballad crap. BUT NOT 7.

The lowest "Stars" on iTunes I gave a track from this album was 3 1/2. It only had a few tracks, but pretty much they were all flawless. Including her Melodifestivalen/Eurovision track "Undo".

SANNA WINS. Barely.

 

I remember hearing "Undo" for the first time (when we got the 30 second performance clips) and immediately fell in love.

I was happy for her, after years upon years of failing in Melodifestivalen, she finally "Undid Her Sad" and got to represent Sweden.

 

Enough of Melodifestivalen.

 

This album produced corkers like I said - like her f***ING UNRELEASED SECOND SINGLE "TROUBLE".

Seriously. I don't know who manages this girl. A #1 Album and #1 Single and you don't release a second single when you have a song like "Trouble" on your album?! WHAT THE HELL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS "SAD" ;)
