ALL of these flawless masterpieces were released last year:


and there's plenty more.

So was 2013 one of the best years ever for pop music??

Ever? No.
But in the 2010's yes, only after 2010

Nah. I'm very disappointed.

No, but it was waaay better than 2012.

Lol @ MCHG, Stars Dance and Britney Jean being masterpieces.

Yes. Artpop, Prism, Britney Jean, Get Wet (Krewella) and Stars Dance were perfect while some other albums like Avril Lavigne, Utopia, Bangerz and Halcyon Days were pretty good.

Do you know what an opinion is? Stars Dance and Britney Jean are also masterpieces for me.

I've only really liked the odd single released in 2013 but I've grown to like more upcoming artists I guess.

I guess 2013 was the year of singles rather than albums.

No.

We got some great albums: BEYONCÉ, Yeezus, MCHG, Pure Heroine, Nothing Was The Same etc.

So yeah, 2013 was amazing

EDIT: i forgot Disclosure's 'Settle' and HAIM's 'Days Are Gone'. great albums

U can't have a good year in pop music without a Rihanna album

Do YOU know what an opinion is? Imo they aren't.

2011>>>>

Not sure about best ever, but it was an amazing year for mainstream music. I really enjoyed it.

Yes, that's the reason why I didn't include a "lol" in my post, I 100% respect your opinion and I would never laugh at others opinion but that's just me I guess.

finally someone who gets it

We did just fine without yet another half assed era...

From those in the original post, I think The 20/20 Experience Part II, DEMI, Magna Carta... Holy Grail, Blurred Lines, Stars Dance, Prism, The Marshall Mathers LP2, ARTPOP, Midnight Memories, and Britney Jean were all either underwhelming or simply not good.

Kanye, Beyoncé, Lorde, Daft Punk, and 20/20's first part are the only 2013 mainstream releases I can list off the top of my head that I enjoyed. I was extremely underwhelmed by this year's releases.

No one actually laughs when they post "lol". This is a music discussion forum, I'm free to disagree with someone's opinion and express mine.

Not at all.
