 | Ellie Goulding - Delirium
This album is a huge improvement from the boring, uninspired, commercial mess that Halcyon Days was. The deluxe tracks completely deserve to be checked out, so I totally don't regret paying €27 for the deluxe edition. I have to say, though, that repeating the same four words in the choruses of half of the songs isn't the best idea to show how talented and artistic you are.

 | Justin Bieber - Purpose
I'd been waiting for his comeback, and he truly didn't let me down. I bought the standard edition, and I'll get the deluxe, too (next year).
Favorite: Sorry

 | One Direction - Made in the A.M.
Strangely enough, I don't miss Zayn's voice. The album perfectly works even without him. It's a solid record, but it's nothing new from their previous efforts. The deluxe packaging is one of the best I've ever seen (and it costs less than Demi and Ellie's basic €27 packagings).

 | Adele - 25
I couldn't help but buy the recordbreaking album of the year. An album filled with great ballads, but I would've wanted to hear more uptempos as well.
Favorite: Sweetest Devotion

 | Tori Kelly - Unbreakable Smile
A great new artist with an amazing voice has served us an underrated pop album that deserved to do much better than it did.
Favorite: First Heartbreak
Least favorite: I Was Made for Loving You |
 | Elle King - Love Stuff
Another new artist with great material to offer to us. I hadn't heard anything but the lead single from it when I saw it in the store for the first time, but the sticker that said "this album will make you want to be a bad bitch with a sweet side" convinced me to buy it. And I totally didn't regret it!
Favorite: Ex's and Oh's

 | Helena Paparizou - The Game of Love
This is the only album that I still needed to complete my Helena discography collection (I couldn't find it in Greece). It's her first album in English, and it's mainly modern laika (Greek folk music) inspired.
Favorite: Gigolo
Least favorite: It's Gone Tomorrow |
 | Carola Häggkvist - Från nu till evighet
This 2006 album from the best-selling female artist in Sweden is a bit too full of gay club anthems to be released by religious freak like Carola. She truly turned a not-so-sweet-sounding language like Swedish into a musical language.
Favorite: Stanna eller gå
Least favorite: Jag lever livet |
 | Sanna Nielsen - 7
Another album by a Swedish girl, but this time it's fully in English. Sanna represented Sweden at the Eurovision in 2014, and placed 3rd.
Favorite: Undo

 | Polina Gagarina - Poprosi u oblakov
Polina is one of my faves, as everyone knows on here. I ordered her debut album from 2007 (when she had black hair lmao) and of course it's flawless and I'm feeling sorry for all of you who haven't heard it yet. It's half in Russian and half in English.
Favorite: Ya tebya ne proshchu nikogda

 | Alsou - Alsou
I bought her 2001 self-titled album in English in October, and her debut album in Russian from 1999, which is also self-titled. Did you know that Mariah Carey totally copied "After Tonight" from Alsou's song "Svet v tvoyom okne"? Not really, but they do sound a lot alike, and Alsou's album came out first, so I guess great minds think alike.
Favorite: Svet v tvoyom okne
Least favorite: Duet |
 | Alsou - Samoe glavnoe
Nine years later, after several other records that I haven't bought yet, Alsou released another Russian album, which is definitely more mature. It's the definition of relaxing Russian pop music.
Favorite: A u moey lyubvi
Least favorite: Rasstavat'sya slozhno |
 | Adele - 19
I consider this to be Adele's best album. It's full of soul and it sounds more genuine than her following albums. I'd wanted it for a couple of years but I'd never bought it.
Favorite: Chasing Pavements
Least favorite: Best for Last |
 | Måns Zelmerlöw - Perfectly Damaged
This is the album from the Swedish winner of the 2015 Eurovision. The entire album is quite generic and impersonal, but extremely catchy. It features some messy song titles like "The Core of You" and "Live While You're Alive". 
Favorite: Live While You're Alive
Least favorite: What's in Your Eyes |
Flawless taste
