There have been so many albums released, but only twenty five make this list. They received the most airplay despite being released months ago.
#25. Bad – Michael Jackson (1987) 39 plays
Bad is Michael Jackson’s follow up to the massively successful “Thriller”. It would be impossible to match the success of Thriller, but still managed to sell a whole lotta copies – more than thirty million. This album also produced more #1s than Thriller, with “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You”, “Bad”, “The Way You Make Me Feel”, “Man In The Mirror” and “Dirty Diana” all hitting #1. Bad also has one of my favourite Michael tracks, and one of his fan favourites – Smooth Criminal. Yes, Bad was one hell of an album, and it truly deserves to be on this list.
Top 3 tracks: Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror
#24. Spellbound – Paula Abdul (1991) 42 plays
Paula Abdul had a huge career, with two number one albums and six consecutive #1 singles. Yes, six. Two of them from Spellbound, her second studio album. It was a decent effort and went on to sell more than five million copies worldwide. I doubt the album would have made it to the list if not for “Rush, Rush”, one of my all-time favourite ballads.
Top 3 tracks: Rush, Rush, Promise of A New Day, Blowing Kisses in the Wind
#23. One of The Boys – Katy Perry (2008) 49 plays
One of the better pop albums of last year, it boasts an impressive four hit singles. She made it big with I Kissed A Girl, but what made me a minor Katy Perry fan was the infectious Hot N Cold, which I still spin a lot. However, what really helped the album snag this spot is the infectious “Waking Up in Vegas”.
Top 3 tracks: Hot N Cold, I Kissed A Girl, Waking Up In vegas
#22. Discipline – Janet Jackson (2008) 53 plays
Easily one of the best R&B albums of last year, Discipline proves to have longevity. I wasn’t much of a Janet fan last year, and so only spun Feedback. This year, I listened to the entire album, and I loved so many songs. This was certainly a good album to keep on iTunes.
Top 3 tracks: Luv, Rock With U, Feedback
#21. Daydream – Mariah Carey (1995) 54 plays
Daydream’s singles may have been some of Mariah’s most memorable, but the rest of the album was certainly a bore. The delightful singles like Always Be My Baby and Fantasy received constant airplay and this pushed up the album’s spins considerably. There are some non-single gems though, such as “Melt Away” and “Long Ago”.
Top 3 tracks: Always Be My Baby, Fantasy, Long Ago
