 | 16. Eminem - Recovery
Eminem made a big bounce this year thanks to his album Recovery, an album which was intended to be just an extension of his Relapse album last year. I'm a fan of some of Eminem's earlier hits and I can say that he hasn't lose the touch of giving amazing rap tunes. I consider this to be one of the best album this year first because it really did well in the charts especially in the U.S. selling over 700,000 on its first week. Some songs that really made a big impact on me this year are found on his album, that is it includes the smash hit Love The Way You Lie and the lead single Not Afraid. Definitely you can tell that with this album, Eminem made a recovery from last year. I'll definitely be waiting in the wings for more hits from him in the future.

 | 15. Taio Cruz - Rokstarr
Many would say that this isn't a good album, but I find it interesting since I'm a fan of upbeat dance track. What made me put Taio Cruz in my list this year is perhaps because he had some songs that got stuck in my head. The lead single Break Your Heart which really became a hit made me curious to hear his stuff. Tracks like some of my personal picks like Dynamite, Falling In Love and Dirty Picture, which features Ke$ha, are the stand out tracks on this album. Overall, it is a pretty decent album, it may not be as a success in the charts but I can recommend during parties and if you really just want to dance.
