Great chart Matt, great Top 2 records,

This finished so quickly! :o I love all your top five except Gnarls. ^_^

As promised, I will now be posting my Top 20 Albums of 2006. These will exclude Greatest Hits and Compilations, and will only have albums released this year.

20. Pink - I'm Not Dead

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/82876803302.JPG

 

Best Single: Who Knew?

Best Album Track: Cuz I Can

 

Only the second Pink album I own, I first heard the album after the wonderful Who Knew? U and Ur Hand also made we want to get the album properly and I actually bought it in a sale yesterday!

 

 

19. Take That - Beautiful World

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/1715551.JPG

 

Best Single: Patience

Best Album Track: Shine

 

The brilliant comeback album from TT saw them hitting the top of the charts and sellling a million in a month! :o A more mature sound heralds the continuation of their successful career.

18. Lily Allen - Alright, Still

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/3670282.JPG

 

Best Single: LDN

Best Album Track: Alfie

 

My love/hate relationship with Ms Allen continues, even if I like the album! I really went off her after a few listens of Smile, then the brilliant LDN came along. Don't you just hate it when that happens?!

 

 

17. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/GWENPRECD.JPG

 

Best Single: Wind It Up

Best Album Track: Wonderful Life

 

The album is already under-rated, as it seems people have been put off by the oddness of Wind It Up. The whole album, is, in fact superb. Tracks like Wonderful life, Yummy and Early Winter make it all worthwhile.

You're a bast*rd :smoke:

20. Pink - I'm Not Dead - My Album Of The Year, Love Every Track! AWESOME :wub:

 

Take That - Beautiful World - i havent listened to this, and dont intend too -_-

 

 

Lily Allen - Alright, Still - I Like LDN and i suppose Smile was Ok, and The Littlest Things is growing, i might buy the album soon ^_^

 

17. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape - Fab Album :wub: :wub: As Matt said dont be put off by Wind It Up. Go And Buy it :wub:

You're a bast*rd :smoke:

Excuse me?

All Good Things by Nelly was robbed :P But Great chart! I either like the song, or don't know it :lol:

16. The Automatic - Not Accpeted Anywhere

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/bun107.JPG

 

Best Single: Raoul

Best Album Track: You Shout You Shout You Shout You Shout

 

This is one of those albums I bought on an impulse on the basis on one single - Monster and ended up really liking. Raoul is an amzing song, and a favourite of mine for a while now.

 

 

15. Corrine Bailey Rae - Corrine Bailey Rae

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/CORRINETEMP.JPG

 

Best Single: Put Your Records On

Best Album Track: Breathless

 

I still can't believe that Corrine is English - she has such soul! A beautiful and relaxing album.

14. The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDPIP.JPG

 

Best Single: Pull Shapes

Best Album Track: We Are The Pipettes

 

A polka-dot clad summer classic.

 

 

13. Muse - Black Holes And Revelations

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/2564635095.JPG

 

Best Single: Starlight

Best Album Track: Map Of The Problematique

 

A brilliant comback from Muse, showing that the success of Time Is Running Out was no fluke. Starlight was robbed of a Top 10 position :arrr:

12. Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDCAGUIL.JPG

 

Best Single: Hurt

Best Album Track: Oh Mother

 

20s/30s/40s jazz/soul/blues influenced album from the lovely Christina. This double album has some gems, such as the stunning Hurt, the swing of Candyman and the sheer sass of Ain't No Other Man.

 

 

11. The Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/WIGCD162.JPG

 

Best Single: I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Best Album Track: Mardy Bum

 

The sensation that is the Arctic Monkeys. Raw gritty norther guitar rock with humour. Mardy Bum is probably my favourite album track this year.

 

10. The Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDKOOKS.JPG

 

Best Single: She Moves In Her Own Way

Best Album Track: Match Box

 

^ She Moves In Her Own Way Video

 

They may be a bit generic and indie-by-numbers, but the sheer brilliance of Naive and She Moves In Her Own Way in particular make this album well worth it.

 

 

The P!nk albums great, Leave Me Alone is my fave from it :wub:

9. Robbie Williams - Rudebox

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/RUDEROBBIEPRECD.JPG

 

Best Single: Lovelight

Best Album Track: The 90s

 

^ Lovelight Video

 

Let me set the record straight - I hate the Rudebox single, and this album is so much better than it! there are real gems here, the 80s and the 90s, a narrative of growing up and the TT days, She Madonna, an electro tinged classic about everyones favourite crush, Keep On, with lily Allen...I could go on, but I won't (luckily).

8. The Fratellis - Costello Music

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PREFRATELLICD.JPG

 

Best Single: Henrietta

Best Album track: Creeping Up The Backstairs

 

^ Chelsea Dagger Video

 

Henrietta grabbed my attention back in may (thanks, Aly :P), and then I fell in love with The Fratellis once i had heard smash hit Chelsea Dagger. his is one of theose albums that I have gron to appreciate.

 

 

The Automatic - Not Accpeted Anywhere - I bought this and i think its pretty decent :D

 

15. Corrine Bailey Rae - Corrine Bailey Rae - Love This Album! has a nice summery feel, and she has a great voice too :wub:

 

 

The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes - I havent bought this album, although what i have heard, i've liked an investment for the future me thinks :D

 

 

Muse - Black Holes And Revelations - I really didnt think i would like this band :o but i Love 'Supermassive Black Hole' made me buy the album, and its great ^_^

 

Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics - The First disk, is a real let down for me really, from the Exception Of Oh Mother :wub: :wub: But Disk 2 is WOW! Love Every Track.

 

The Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - although they are WAY Overated, thier album was pretty good, Mardy Bum :wub:

 

 

The Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out - I'm getting this album soon, as i love all of the Singles From It :wub:

 

Robbie Williams - Rudebox - Really underated album, Rudebox was disgusting, but tracks like She's Madonna 80/90's, all make up for it :wub:

 

The Fratellis - Costello Music - Pretty decent album, havent listened to it alot though, will go back to it :D

 

 

 

 

 

7. Kasabian - Empire

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDKASAB.JPG

 

Best Single: Empire

Best Album Track: Stuntman

 

^Empire Video

 

Before Empire, I despised Kasabian, seeing them as a cheap Oasis (and therefore an even cheaper Beatles?) rip off, but this soon changed when I took a chnace and got the album. Notable Album tracks are Stuntman (amazing tune), British Legion and Seek And Destroy.
