I think people are overrating Beyonce because of how well its done. Sure its the best album, but its not THAT much better.

BEYONCE is the best album on the list but I agree it's a bit "overtalked" as in the meaning that I think it deserves 78-80 score at most (which is still amazing) ..
And PRISM is NOT bad .. It's my 3rd best rated (well right in the middle)
Legendary Lovers and BTGOG are kind of songs that if my fave sung them I would be ok, which means they are good
BEYONCE > ARTPOP > PRISM > BANGERZ > BRITNEY

PRISM is good until the second half of the album. I only use Double Rainbow and Ghost.

ARTPOP on the other hand

How come I'm just noticing "Ghost" is a video only song?

Just did my first rates for every song  From the looks of it, it seems Gaga and Bey fared the best... not that I'm surprised by those results  I'll send my scores a bit later when I do a double check for everything!

And you know Iii-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-iii
I'm feeling all polite
Because I don't got to worry about a thing
It's so unfair. "Chillin' With You" did not deserve this fate. A true miscarriage of justice.

My final rates and final top 5 goes like this:
1. Beyoncé - Beyoncé 7.3333
One of the best albums of the year comes from one of the biggest stars in the planet right now. Although this album doesn't have a smashing hit single like 'Crazy In Love' or 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)', it is her best album and defines the moment she is at in her career. Excellent production through all the album that shows many sides of the Beyoncé we all know, it's dreamy, sexy and revolutionary at the same time. Excellent collaborations that really shine. 'Mine' is the song that got me more addicted, Drake's rap and the lyrics are amazing. Songs like 'Pretty Hurts' and '***Flawless' show how influential B can be doing girl power songs. 'Blow' is the perfect suggestive song. 'Partition' is probably the best urban song she has made. Songs like 'Rocket' and 'Heaven' take a few listens to finally like but in general, this is a good album. Could have been better, yes. It's risky, yes. But she is Beyoncé, and just the fact that she did 17 videos and released the album without announcing it is incredible because it shows how committed she is to her music and her talent. I think that is the reason why she succeeded and the reason why she is already an icon. She shows her fans how much she wants the crown of Queen B. Well done girl.
2. Lady Gaga - Artpop 7.2000
I know many of you, even Gaga initial fans, are not satisfied with this album, but I am. 'Artpop' is full of good pop songs. This is not the best she has done but she is still interesting and doesn't deserve the rave reviews it had. I didn't put a 9 to any of the songs because I don't find any really catchy chorus or any outstanding sound in the tracklist, but all of the songs are enough good. I had a lot of fun listening to the album the first time but I knew from the first listen that any of the songs was going to go number 1. 'Sexxx Dreams' was the first song I loved, its really hot. MANiCURE is a lot of fun to dance. 'Do What U Want' has a R&B sound that makes me feel good. 'Gypsy' is the closest she is top a big hit. 'Dope' is touching, good lyrics. Finally, 'Applause' is the definition of the album, good first single. I will always love her and respect her for the excellent musician and visionary iconic girl she is.
3. Miley Cyrus - Bangerz 6.9375
2013 was definitely the year of Miley. First, she changed her style, which looked weird and forced at the first time, but at the end she proved to be consistent. Then, that ridiculous performance at the VMA's happened, but it, somehow worked. She released the shocking video for 'Wrecking Ball', a song that unexpectedly is in my top 5 of the year. She did many controversial things until she finally released the full album. I admit I had no faith in her at all but after giving it a first listen, my conclusion was that she really has a good voice. I started looking for her discography and videos on YouTube and I realized she always had it. Bangerz was her only way to make a departure from her Disney image. The album has good and catchy songs like '4x4' and '#GetItRight', but also songs where she shows that she is a good vocalist, like 'FU' and 'Rooting For My Baby'. The collaboration of Britney didn't add anything to the album and finally, the unnecessary use of the lyrics 'Mike Will Made it' is the one thing she should delete from the album.
4. Katy Perry - Prism 6.8125
I don't know if this album is better than 'Teenage Dream', I can't decide. I don't think it will have as many hits as the previous album it had, but its more consistent. 'Walking On Air' is an addiction for me. 'Roar' is a perfect pop song that I'm personally tired of. All the 8 first songs are really good and can work as singles very well and it has been difficult for me to rate. She has improved vocally in my opinion but there are still many filler songs like in her previous album.
5. Britney Spears - Britney Jean 6.3846
I don't hate Will.I.Am, he is a good producer, but this is not her best work. The album is a mess. 'Chillin' With You' is probably her worst song in a decade. I'm a Britney fan and I have followed her since forever, but this album is just not good. It has good songs that make you think that probably with more time she could have done better. Great example of it are 'Alien' and 'Passenger', which are different in her discography, showing what she is capable of. 'Work Bitch' is a really good bop and obviously 'Perfume' shows that Britney do have a good voice. I will always wish her the best and I'm happy to see her shine on Vegas, but the album that was supposedly her best, is actually her worst, and it's sad.

Mess, I accidentally sent in my rates unfinished.
supa, if you want, I wouldn't mind doing the graphics for you. Since you like putting the # position in the graphics, I can just leave that blank so it doesn't get spoiled for me.
