66 The Weeknd - Open Hearts (250 points, peak #6)

"Hurry Up Tomorrow" was by far not the best Weeknd album, but has its moments. For me "Open Hearts" is the best song of the album. It is a great dreamy synth-pop song, which fits best to his previous stuff.

"Save Me" is the stand-out song from Olly's 8th album "Knees Up". I really like his reminiscence to the Ska revival in the early 80's, of which I am a big fan.

51 Ava Max - Don't Click Play (276 points, peak @ #4)

I am really disappointed that this album did not work commercially, becausa Ava absolutely delivered here. "Don't Click Play" is such a great bop, which demanded to be a Top 10 hit. However, the audience decided differently.
