First, I will announce the 20th and the 19th place. Here they are.

20. Cher Lloyd "Sticks + Stones"
At first listen looks a bit childish and probably is, however there are some songs that showcase her talent. Didn't like Swagger Jagger, but With Ur Love is really cute. The true highlights of the album that are worth mentioning are Beautiful People and the bonus track Stay. A decent debut album, hopefully we'll get to see more of her serious side in her next efforts.

19. Florence + The Machine "Ceremonials"
One of the weirdest albums of the year for me. It has its ups and downs but overall a good follow-up to Lungs. The great Shake It Out which sadly had little impact on the charts is definitely what you could expect from the rest of the album. The standout tracks for me are Only If For A Night, Never Let Me Go and Spectrum.

18. Selena Gomez & The Scene "When The Sun Goes Down"

To be honest this is the first album by her that I like. You can really see there is some growth in her sound which I really enjoyed. A great pop album filled with dance tracks which I was really into for quite a lot of time. I liked that she worked with Katy Perry and Britney Spears on it. My favorite tracks are Love You Like A Love Song, Hit The Lights, Who Says and My Dilemma.

17. Jennifer Lopez "LOVE?"

I was really looking forward to this album for quite a long time and was pleased how it came out in the end. On The Floor and I'm Into You were both my jams when they leaked. Other standouts include Papi, (What is) Love?, Invading My Mind and Villain. However, the album grew old very fast.

16. David Guetta "Nothing But The Beat"

Usually he creeps me out but somehow always manages to put out an album that I enjoy. When he collaborates with pop/rnb/hip-hop artists his songs are fire. I don't really like the electronic part but songs like Night Of Your Life, Titanium and Turn Me On are great dance tracks. Other songs worth mentioning are Repeat, Without You and Where Them Girls At which are bound to make you dance your ass off on the dance floor.

15. Ed Sheeran "+"

A complete opposite of the previous album at the 16th place comes Ed Sheeran with his debut album "+". To be honest, I had never heard of him before I went to live in the UK in the autumn. When his album came out he was literally everywhere and I was really curious to hear what his music is like. I instantly fell in love with his sound with the first song - The A Team. The rest of the album doesn't fail to impress as well with songs like Drunk, U.N.I, This and Lego House. An obvious favorite of mine is You Need Me I Don't Need You which also brings some diversity to the whole sound of the album.

14. Amy Winehouse "Lioness: The Hidden Treasures"

I was a fan of Amy and her death really came as a shock to me. I have never been into posthumous albums and have always thought of them as useless and a way to make money out of somebody's death but in her case I feel different. Our Day Will Come is the perfect song to honor her, it has a great message and is true to her sound. The album is a great collection of songs that make me sad and happy at the same time. Valerie, Half Time, Body And Soul and A Song for You really summarize what Amy was all about but make me miss her even more. She was unique and there will never be anybody like her. R.I.P

13. The Saturdays "On Your Radar"

I've loved these girls since the beginning and I really feel bad that they are not having any success lately. For me, On Your Radar is a great listen full with pop and dance songs that I really enjoy. All Fired Up got me "all fired up" for this album in the summer and I've been anticipating it since then. My Heart Takes Over is one of their best ballads ever along with Last Call. The songs that I really love are Faster, Promise Me, Get Ready Get Set and For Myself. However, the album is kinda repetitive and nothing fresh and new - probably the reason for its lack of success. I am still waiting for the album that will top Chasing Lights and I hope that they will manage to do it soon.

12. Rebecca Ferguson "Heaven"

She was my favorite on the X Factor last year and I was really looking forward to that one. Her amazing voice and talent are undeniable. She delivers great vocal performances throughout the whole album. The album's opener and first single Nothing's Real But Love is a true highlight of what you might expect to hear from Rebecca. Her jazzy and soul vocals sound amazing in many songs like Glitter & Gold, Mr Bright Eyes, Run Free and Too Good To Lose. The ballads Shoulder To Shoulder and Teach Me How To Be Loved are great, as well. But most of all I love that she remains true to herself.

11. Kelly Rowland "Here I Am"
My relationship with this album has been very inconsistent through the year. I loved Commander and Motivation from the first listen but when the album came out it was a so-so situation. I liked I'm Dat Chick, Lay It On Me, Down For Whatever and Turn It Up but the other tracks didn't do anything for me. Shortly I got into the other songs like Keep It Between Us, Feeling Me Right Now and Each Other. After that there were times that I liked it and that I didn't but when the UK version came out the album got the songs that were missing from the US version - Forever And A Day, What A Feeling, When Love Takes Over - and made it sound more complete.

10. Pixie Lott "Young Foolish Happy"
The singles All About Tonight and What Do You Take Me For? are both great and I am actually still enjoying them despite the time that has past since their release. I really love Pixie, she is so real and you can hear it in her music. The album is quite long and there are several songs that are fillers and could have been cut but others like Nobody Does It Better, Kiss The Stars, Birthday and Bright Lights (Good Times) made me love this album. My favorite song is one of the deluxe tracks - Till The Sun Comes Up. It has such great energy and can always make me feel better. Her true talent shines in the slower songs such as We Just Go On and Love You To Death.


09. Britney Spears "Femme Fatale"
Even though I have to say that I have never been a fan of Britney I can't deny that she always makes great pop music and puts out decent albums. Femme Fatale is filled with pop jams like Hold It Against Me, Till The World Ends, I Wanna Go and Criminal. For me, the album grew old quite fast after its release but by the end of the year I started listening to it again. I also have to mention the bonus tracks that for me are one of the best bonuses that I have heard - He About To Lose Me, Up N' Down, Selfish and Scary are all amazing.

08. Drake "Take Care"
I've never been a fan of hip-hop and rap albums but when it comes to Drake it is a whole different level. With killer star power (Take Care with Rihanna and Make Me Proud with Nicki Minaj) the album promises to be a great listen from beginning to end. Other great tracks include Crew Love, Headlines, Marvin's Room and The Real Her. One of the most interesting collaborations Drake has ever done is the record with Stivie Wonder - Doing it Wrong. It sounds so different but in a good way - their styles go surprisingly well. Overall, Take Care is one of the best albums of the year being everything that you can expect from a Drake album and then some.


07. Coldplay "Mylo Xyloto"
That's what I call a creative album. I love everything about it but what made me love love it is how it tells a story with every single song - when you start listening to it it's like you hear one love story. My favorite tracks are Princess of China with Rihanna, Paradise, Hurts Like Heaven, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall and Up In Flames. The album delivers great vocals, songs with amazing production and full with ideas. One of the most interesting and different albums of the year.
