4-1 Top 15 Albums.
________________________________

4. DEMI LOVATO - "Unbroken"

After her rehab stint, Demi came back with an astonishing album. In Unbroken she has a very different and mature sound, and it fits her voice great. The only thing I was disappointed with was that Demi only helped write five of the songs on here. The way the tracks are arranged are great and they flow perfectly together. Some of the songs are a bit longer than they should be (Together, My Love Is Like a Star). Overall, I think this is a great comeback album, but her label could have promoted it more.
Favorite Tracks: Lightweight, Unbroken, Mistake, Give Your Heart a Break

3. HOT CHELLE RAE - "Whatever"

Some people will probably be surprised by this pick, but I've been following this band since around 2008 and I'm really glad to see their success. I feel like this album wasn't really made to be rated four or five stars, or to be remembered for a long time but it's a great pop album containing songs written about partying, love, etc. and it's definitely one of my favorite albums this year.
Favorite Tracks: Forever Unstoppable, Why Don't You Love Me, Honestly, I Like It Like That, Tonight Tonight

2. LADY GAGA - "Born This Way"

Gaga said this was supposed to be the Pop album of the decade, but it's really not. I'm not saying it's a bad one, because it's a great one that's more memorable than The Fame but I think everyone will know her for The Fame Monster Gaga. She definitely can sell (8+ million sold worldwide already) and she can really write. Her writing abilities really stand out to me on tracks like Bloody Mary, and Marry The Night. I'm glad she worked with Mr. Garibay, they really make the best tracks together. She has really changed pop and put imagination back into it. I also think she put an inspiring message into the title track as well.
Favorite Tracks: The Queen, You & I, Hair, Bloody Mary, Black Jesus + Amen Fashion, Heavy Metal Lover


1. ADELE - "21"

Adele's sophomore album really made me a huge fan of hers, her first didn't really click with me. Adele has proved her talent in her success. She produced one of my favorite songs on the album (Someone Like You). She also brought one of many talented voices to this generation of pop (but she needs to stop smoking ). I don't really know how to explain why 21 is so great, or popular but it's an outstanding album.
Favorite Tracks: One and Only (this song is life), Set Fire To The Rain, Someone Like You, Don't You Remember

top 15 singles tomorrow!

Went on a short hiatus but here is the start of my
14-10 Top 14 #1 Singles.
________________________________

14. WIZ KHALIFA - "Black & Yellow"

This isn't a great song (but there have only been 14 #1 songs this year!) but it's okay.. definitely not my favorite from Wiz. I'll listen to it from time to time.

13. PITBULL - "Give Me Everything"

Very repetitive and boring song. Every Pitbull song sounds the same to me, really.

12. LMFAO - "Party Rock Anthem"

PRA is by far one of the worse songs by LMFAO but it's tolerable.


11. MAROON 5 - "Moves Like Jagger"

Annoying beat and Maroon 5 has had better songs than this. While once one of my favorite songs from 2011 I now sort of despise it.

10. RIHANNA - "S&M"

I have to be in a different sort of mood to like this song but once in a while I'll listen to it. S&M was one of my favorite songs before it was a single, and is definitely one of my favorite #1's of this year.

I was gone for a few days, but I'll be posting according to date from now on! 9-5 #1 singles tomorrow!

Here's the continuation of my
9-5 Top 14 #1 Singles.

9. Lady Gaga - "Born This Way"

I hate the beginning of the song, but it gets better around the 20 second mark and I hate the last few seconds of the song. It delivers a great message, and is an amazing Pop song. I definitely like the Country Road version better.

8. Katy Perry - "Last Friday Night"

LFN is honestly Katy's catchiest single of 2011 although a very generic song, and the lyrics are absolutely nothing, it's a care-free, fun song and I enjoy it a lot.

7. Britney Spears - "Hold It Against Me"

A great returning, lead single from Britney. I like the techno beat to it and it's very catchy chorus but Britney sounds kind of bored.

6. ADELE - "Rolling In The Deep"

Adele's first number one in the US is a well deserved one. Her vocals are stong and the song is great, but most of the time I skip it whenever I listen to 21.

5. BRUNO MARS - "Grenade"

Bruno definitely gave a fresh sound to Pop music, although the lyrics are kind of odd, it's a great song and deserved to go #1. (I don't like it quite as much as Just The Way You Are though).

Final #1 singles tomorrow! (4-1)
