Posted December 21, 20168 yr http://i.imgur.com/gVgVNYP.jpg It's not been the easiest of years, but music has continued to save us.

Solange – A Seat At The Table 30. Frank Ocean - Blonde 31. Shawn Mendes - Illuminate Mixed bunch featuring a few ~let downs~ mainly from Frank Ocean and Solange both of whom had previous releases that were phenomenal but these didn't quite live up to them. Unhealthy to compare to previous glories but my hype for both was insane and they didn't deliver :( Kid Cudi DID deliver but it's far too recent a release to make it any higher. Also featuring a lovely, chilled album from Shawn and a more upbeat, remix album from man of the moment Troye :dance:
December 21, 20168 yr Illuminate is way too low :cry: Troye remix album :ph34r: Really glad you caved in and are doing a countdown *.*
December 21, 20168 yr Author Illuminate is way too low :cry: Troye remix album :ph34r: Really glad you caved in and are doing a countdown *.* Can't wait to see how the remix album does on your chart :cheer: ^_^
December 21, 20168 yr Author Romance is fine, pour me some wine pQR_7L4x4Ho 22. Tove Lo - Lady Wood 23. Kanye West - The Life of Pablo 24. Katy B - Honey 25. Highasakite – Camp Echo 26. Carly Rae Jepsen – Emotion Side B Carly releases a B side album to last year's HUMONGOUS #1 for me and it's incredible as imagined. New original studio album next year please ~ Newcomers for me Highasakite offer eclectic Swedish pop, Katy B & Kanye West have their weakest albums to date but they're still stellar and Tove Lo departs from the soaring pop of her debut album for a more sultry, sexy and out-there sound which works.. for the most part but not as consistently as she is used to.
December 21, 20168 yr Emotion Side B is fab! :heart: I still need to listen to Lady Wood, I've asked for it for Christmas so can we please sosh it next week? :o
December 21, 20168 yr Author Look up here, I'm in heaven y-JqH1M4Ya8 17. David Bowie - Blackstar 18. Elliphant - Living Life Golden 19. Dawn Richard - Redemption 20. Tinashe - Nightride 21. Jojo - Mad Love. I barely knew who Jojo was before this year but was convinced to give the album a listen and loved it pretty much instantly. A harrowing affair from the late David Bowie (who I also hadn't given a listen to before this year - obviously under tragic circumstances). Very familiar with Tinashe and she delivered this dark beauty, ahead of a more lighter pop affair due soon? Dawn Richard offers an incredible dance-pop/urban extravaganza and Elliphant's album lives up to expectations with global messages with a fun twist.
December 22, 20168 yr Hi Haus Only listened to Shawn Mendes and Katy B from this lot. Shawn's album was nice actually, wish it a bit more uptempo but I enjoyed it a fair bit and kind of crushing on him a lot atm. :lol: Honey was disappointing though, definitely her weakest yet. It had its moments but I didn't go back to it much, it was kind of boring :/ :)
December 22, 20168 yr Very sad to see you're still not into 'A Seat at the Table' yet. Hoping you can still click with it at a later date.

It had its moments but I didn't go back to it much, it was kind of boring :/ :) Hopefully you've heard a few more of the ones to come, especially in the top 10! Agree about Shawn and Katy B I guess - she changed direction slightly but the best moments on the album are when she stuck to what she did best. Very sad to see you're still not into 'A Seat at the Table' yet. Hoping you can still click with it at a later date. It's just not clicking and god knows i've tried :( If I was to play some Solange, I just can't choose anything but True or Sol-Angel still. Hmm maybe in time I will appreciate it but who knows </3
December 22, 20168 yr Author Here's my invitation, hope it sets us free 3Sd1Byw7NdA 12. The Weeknd - Starboy 13. Fifth Harmony – 7/27 14. Tkay Maidza - Tkay 15. Drake - Views 16. Britney Spears - Glory Britney's triumphant return rockets her into the second half of my albums of 2016, while Drake's massive album of the year also shows a return to form - both have big hits in my singles chart still to come. Newcomer for me Tkay Maidza surprises with this quirky, fun urban album filled to the brim with pulsating instrumentals and cheeky lyrics. With the news of Camilla's departure, whatever direction the band take now at least they blessed us with this solid pop girl album which helped define my summer. And a recent release from The Weeknd is miles ahead of his previous effort and while it could do with some quality control what is features is for the most part very good - it's the closest he's got to matching the debut Trilogy set of albums~
December 22, 20168 yr I was thinking the same re Solange! I'm pretty certain it's my favourite of the year 😍 Also 'Blonde', which took its time to grow on me but is definitely one of the year's absolute best for me now. So many great albums here, mine will look pretty similar if I ever get around to doing it! :') Hoping to see Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight high up 🙌🏼
December 22, 20168 yr Can't say I listen to whole albums much, but I have liked songs from Illuminate & Honey :D
December 22, 20168 yr Author Pick up the phone, I know you're home y0YA_F6n5_4 7. Travis Scott - Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight 8. Benjamin - Fingerprints 9. Rihanna - ANTI 10. M.I.A. – A.I.M 11. Beyoncé - Lemonade Huge albums from popgirl behemoths Rihanna and Beyonce, the former still sends up surprises while the latter tired on me fairly quickly. M.I.A. continues her hit record of incredible albums with this, which contains a fair amount of filler but more than makes up with it elsewhere with the good stuff. Benjamin offers an almost totally dud free collection of fit pop and Travis returns with his strongest project to date for me -
December 22, 20168 yr 7/27, Glory, Camp Echo and Emotion Side B <3 All fab! Wondering what five albums are left to come! Joanne is an obvious one, but not sure what else *thinks*
December 22, 20168 yr Author Can't wait to see you soar Mwnr2DI6Szk 5. All Saints - Red Flag 6. Lady Gaga - Joanne I actually FORGOT Gaga from my countdown so i've edited her in and moved everything down a place lmao :') Joanne was a lovely change of pace for Ms Germanotta and while it's not TOTALLY the sound I want from her, I have the upmost respect for her following her heart. A dedication to her dead aunt of the same name, the album showcases a raw, country-tinged but pop at heart record full of vocal acrobats and some signature crazed moments. The first half of the album is brilliant, the second half is really weak and has some dud moments that are nigh on unlistenable for me now. Which is why it misses out on the top 5. She is still in my top 3 artists of all time, I will never not love her with everything I have, but this album wasn't quite the Gaga I wanted. I have spent far too long ignoring All Saints, but this album was the warning sign I needed that I was missing out. The style of the album is unlike any i've heard before, with disturbing production at times, disjointed vocals but all together a smooth listen from start to finish. They excel with their more tender moments on the album revealing a sense of loss or mourning or pain among the bravado they display. Truly a stunning collection of songs about heartbreak, war, redemption and ultimately owning yourself. Fierce ~
