24. Shakira - Oral Fixation Vol.2

 

http://music.km.ru/images/cds200/shakira-oral-fixation2005.jpg

 

Colombian singer had a rather large 4 year gap between her English albums but this, the second in this series after the Spanish album Fijacion Oral Vol.1 was a return to form for the hip swiveller...with some brilliant if rather odd songs throughout, this had me entertained throughout 2006!!!

 

Best Tracks

 

Hips Don't Lie

23. Vanessa Amorosi - The Power

 

http://vanessaamorosi.ozhosting.com/release/musicpics/poweruk.jpg

 

The debut album from Australian singer Vanessa, released down under in 1999, she's only getting round to a follow up finally this year after being in hiding since her teens! This is a rather sensational pop album and she has an amazing voice...of all the people that did not deserve one hit wonder status in the UK, Vanessa's got to be near the top of the list!

http://www.slantmagazine.com/images/music/secretlifeoftheveronicas.jpg

 

Picking up where Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway left off, Australian twin sisters Lisa and Jessica unleashed this stunning album combining pop rock classics wih gorgeous ballads in late 2005. They were always supposed to come over here but they didn't meaning that the UK missed an almost certain top 10 hit in 4Ever...fans of Breakaway NEED THIS ALBUM...

21. Shakira - Grandes Exitos

 

http://graphics.sonymusic.com.au/cdcovers/medium/5098749000.jpg

 

Having started following Shakira's career from the point of Whenever, Wherever in 2002, I snapped up this compilation of her biggest Spanish hits to discover that she was just as good before that point. A stunning collection of tracks which if you don't mind the language barrier, is well worth investing in...

Hero is a classic!

 

Laundry Service is better than OFV2 and is still to come!

into the 20 best albums ever then:

 

20. Kylie Minogue - Ultimate Kylie

 

http://www.emi.com.br/imagem/noticias/ultimate_kylie.jpg

 

The highest 'hits' collection in the countdown goes to Ms. Minogue, the 2nd best thing ever to come from Neighbours :P This is a sensational album compiling most of her hits from the 80s, 90s and 00s though its a shame Some Kind Of Bliss isn't on here...it just makes you realise how many different sounds this lady has experimented with over the years...truly excellent!

19. Take That - Beautiful World

 

http://www.fiestamp3.com/imagenes/1009.jpg

 

The best comeback ever in the history of pop? It would take one hell of a band to rival this comeback...having been the biggest boyband of the 90s, Gary, Mark, Jason and Howard returned with a new sound, the same audience that they had in the 90s as well as the 2006 audience consisting of people like myself. 11 finely crafted pop songs with no duds on here, its almost like they never went anywhere!

18. Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera

 

http://www.speedace.info/music/musicimages/christina_aguilera_album_cover_debut.jpg

 

A fine debut album back in 1999 from Xtina consisting of Disney ballads and R&B pop songs...it sounds a tad dated now but for two years this ruled my life, and if it was remade with up to date production, these songs could sound just as good now...

Reflection

I Turn To You

17. Alice Deejay - Who Needs Guitars Anyway?

 

http://www.woolworths.co.uk/product_images/10/31/86/10318664.jpg

 

No guitars needed here...Alice Deejay's pop trance gave them 3 UK top ten singles in 1999/2000 and this albumOn went top 10 too! A brilliant collection of tracks, which I was so desperate to buy that I bought it on import for £17 because I couldn't wait 4 more months for its official UK release...a tad cheesy in places but a great album for fans of Cascada/Fragma etc...

Better Off Alone

16. Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

 

http://www.yourmusic.com/images/200x200/1/6/2/162095.jpg

 

Having not been a fan of Single, and certainly not a fan of her brother Daniel, I was surprised when I heard These Words, feeling that it was an incredible pop song! I bought the album on the day of release and have never regretted it. A mixture of gorgeous ballads and quirky anthemic pop songs, it wasn't out of my CD player for at least six months!!!

 

Best Tracks:

 

These Words

Unwritten

Wild Horses

15. Bardot - Bardot

 

http://mag.girl.com.au/img/images/bardot2001.png

 

The debut album from the winners of Australia's 'Popstars' show, which started the whole Reality talent show craze across the world. For a manufactured band, this 2001 collection was and still is absolutely brilliant with piano based pop tracks mixing perfectly with R&B pop which was in fashion at the time...

 

Best Tracks:

 

Higher Than Heaven

Poison

Girls Do Boys Don't

14. The Corrs - In Blue

 

http://www.wikimusicguide.com/images/0/00/The-corrs-in-blue.jpg

 

Not a favourite of many Corrs fans, In Blue was much more polished production line pop than the rocky folk songs of their previous two albums. It was a UK No.1 however, sold over a million copies and produced a No.1 single in the form of Breathless, so clearly someone liked it! Not their best album by any means, but much more accessible to mainstream pop lovers!

 

Best Tracks:

 

All The Love In The World

Breathless

Somebody For Someone

13. Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow

 

http://www.audiobasics.com/acatalog/Product_SarahMclachlan_Afterglow.jpg

 

You know when you buy an album randomly and it turns out to be one of the most worthy purchases in your collection!?! This is how I feel about this brilliant collection. After a 6 year gap between album, Sarah returned with many more tales of love, life and tragedy and its an astonishing album with the catchy piano melodies just as good as the heartfelt lyrics. Concise at 10 tracks, but sometimes the best albums are!

World On Fire

Fallen

Train Wreck

Stupid
