December 17, 20159 yr Piece By Piece is only disappointing because it's Kelly, it's just because My December and Breakaway are both in my top 5 ever and Stronger/All I Ever Wanted are probably top 20, if not top 40, so there was always a chance it'd fall a bit short :( It's so good though anyway if you look at it as a standalone. Already pre-ordering my vomit emoji for #1.
December 17, 20159 yr Author http://i.imgur.com/EdgUQYe.jpg 06 | Tina Arena - Eleven Album Peak Position: #3 Top 5 dmO6xTQ6MrY 1) Overload 2) Heaven 3) Magic 4) Karma 5) Love Falls Tina and her magnificant boobs released their newest album a couple months back and what an album. Magivally produced it is a modern twist on typical Tina music. Lead single Overload is a hellova song and one of the best of the year. She sounds stunning on the ballads and really packs a punch in the uptempos. Many of the songs have a nice gradual build to them, like Heaven, which is Heavenly. Magic sounds very Minoguey too which is always nice to hear. http://i.imgur.com/WopcTm8.jpg 05 | Hilary Duff - Breathe In. Breathe Out Album of the Week? Yes (4 Weeks) Top 5 j4tQeaDgYaQ 1) One In A Million 2) Rebel Hearts 3) All About You 4) Breathe In. Breathe Out 5) Stay In Love Queen of Disney tbh. It's been decades since her last album and it was worth the wait. Totally different sound to the two promo singles, which is kind of a good thing since too many of thos ekinda tracks would get boring. Instead we got some really good pop bangers. It's amazing how she managed to come up with something this good when she's not been doing music for years. One or two duds but the fact that the highlights are just so good, it doesn't matter really. http://i.imgur.com/Fb9IDcN.jpg 04 | Madonna - Rebel Heart Album of the Week? Yes (3 Weeks) Top 5: pEcp2HlFBwE 1) Ghosttown 2) Addicted 3) Wash All Over Me 4) Living For Love 5) Queen Madge came back and slayed us all and then fell over. Kween. Rebel Heart was a bit of a mess with all those leaks and shitloads of instant grats and as a result it kinda underperofmed. That being said, it's ber hest album in years. She manages to prove she has still got the special something with many of the songs, gets a bit racy in others and then totally drops the ball with one or two, but on a 25 track album, you can forgive her. Ghosttown is one of the best songs of her career, sitting on an album with Autotune Baby which is one of her worst. Only Madonna would manage this.
December 19, 20159 yr Author http://i.imgur.com/n7432Zj.jpg 03 | Nick Carter - All American Album Peak Position: #1 Top 5: 9sE5XlYhEq8 1) Second Wind 2) All American 3) I Will Wait 4) 19 In 99 5) Get Over Me (feat. Avril Lavigne) Bae tbh. The 4th non Backstreet Boys album from their youngest and sexiest member. He's gone from pop rock to dancier stuff and now to beach-y rocky stuff which suits him so well. Full of party anthems and featuring lyrical amazingness such as "my vegan girlfriend only feeds me quinoa" Amazing. Only two "ballads" on it, with the sublime I Will Wait stansing out a bit too much, but with it being at the end, it makes a nice calming end to the album.
December 19, 20159 yr The commentary and ranking for 'Rebel Heart' I can't argue with! 'Ghosttown' is a very worthy favourite from it and 'Autotune Baby' is certainly one of the worst of her career. Overall the album is amazing so happy to see it top 5 here :wub:
December 20, 20159 yr Absolutely adore all of #10-#4 and big yay at Ironic + Living For Love being listed as highlights :wub:
December 20, 20159 yr Author http://i.imgur.com/e2jyIFn.jpg 02 | Ben Haenow - Ben Haenow Album Peak Position: #1 Top 5: lzhaxM8QyaA 1) Lions 2) Second Hand Heart (feat. Kelly Clarkson) 3) Start Again 4) Brother 5) Ready For You http://i.imgur.com/goto4jo.jpg 1 | Lifehouse - Out Of The Wasteland Album of the Week? Yes (4 Weeks) Top 5: Wd6LYNSWwJk 1) Firing Squad 2) Flight 3) Yesterday's Son 4) Hourglass 5) H20 What a top 2 *.* Ben is bae <3 as already noted, I did a major u-turn on him following the release of his new material. Now that he's got songs to match his voice, he is a damn fine musician. His album is easily up there with the best of X-factor winners tbh, only just falling behind the life altering Letters by Matty. No filler, all killer, the kind of music that's come from the likes of OneRepublic. Some people will end up bashing him because a) he's not female and b) he has a different sounding voice to a lot of other male artists so obviously he's crap. There is a great mix up uptempos and some really good ballads too, he sticks to a vocal range that doesn't make him sound like he's being strangled and even gets Kelly Clarkson to feature with him, when will Fleur? After taking a few years off, Lifehouse came back with a new album, and slayed careers tbh. The second longest studio album on this list, a total of 19 tracks, it never dips in quality as it goes on and remains a high quality throughout. Jason Wade is another one who has a unique voice and actually I could imagine him singing alot of the songs on Ben's album and vice versa. Firing Squad is the best album track of the year for me and the two singles, Flight and Hurricaine rank pretty highly as singles, Flight was a 2014 single so wont slay in my singles chart, but Hurricaine just might.

Kylie Minogue – Right Here, Right Now [3-2-3-3-3-5-10-19-24-28-32-37-xx] 12 Weeks 39 | Stereophonics – C'est La Vie [1-2-3-3-6-7-9-11-15-16-20-23-24-25-26-29-29-31-34-38-40-xx] 21 Weeks 38 | Fleur East – Sax [13-15-16-22-] *Still Charting* Kicking off my singles countdown is Italian DJ Giorgio Moroder, with help from Queen Kylie. This dance bop was the first single from his new album and the first bit of new Kylie for 2015, so I obviously adored it, for a while. The two teamed up again for Your Body, which is a much better song, alas not a single so no appearence here. The Phonics returned this year with a new album, as noted in my album countdown. This song was the lead from it, a different sound to the band, it went straight into the top of my chart and while it fell a lot, it hung around for a while. Fleur initially outdid Ben with their debuts here for me, but Slaynow eventually trampled over her. Not a bad song by any means, but overhype from people here has made me get a bit sick of it now, noted by its swift fall down my chart.

Taylor Swift – Wildest Dreams [36-35-32-29-29-25-27-30-31-29-24-22-22-23-23-28-] *Still Charting* 36. Little Mix – Black Magic [19-14-4-2-3-4-6-7-8-11-14-18-16-21-25-24-23-25-29-31-35-38-xx] 22 Weeks 35. Janet Jackson – BURNITUP! [23-22-20-16-18-23-24-29-31-39-] *Still Charting* Taylor Swift has totally abandoned her country roots and for the most part, lost what made me a fan of hers in the first place. Her music is now nothing better than all of the generic pop by most females out there. However, there are one or two decent tunes, Wildest Dreams being the best of them. Such a lovely romantic song that has hints of a Taylor long gone, I think it'd be better as a country tune, but hey ho. Little Mix made a comback this year with the pure pop brilliance that is Black Magic. I didn't like this much when it came out, but it eventually grew on me. Nothing overly complicated or revolutionary about it, just a solid, enjoyable pop track that they are good at. Janet Jackson also made a comeback after many years. Never a massive fan other than one or two tunes, No Sleep bored me to tears, I needed a bop and she delivered that with BURNITUP! which features Missy Elliot. Addictive, expertly produced and just generally a fab bop.
December 22, 20159 yr 3 absolutely incredible songs there and all completely different. 'Wildest Dreams' is my favourite Taylor song and 'Black Magic' now my favourite LM song i think! Love 'BURNITUP!' too obviously, such a good comeback from her this era <3
