DRjuss06's BEST OF 2012
"THE END OF THE WORLD"
12TH UPDATE (THE TOP 5s)
Hello guys and welcome to the 12th Update on this list.
Today i will post the #5 and #4 Album, Artists, Songs and Music Videos of the Year.
Let's Go and Thank you so much for all your comments!!!!
TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY WE WILL START THE TOP 3, I WILL PROBABLY REVEAL THE TOP 3 SEPARATELY.
SONGS (5-4)
5. BLUE JEANS- LANA DEL REY- PEAK: 1 [X16]
One of my favorite tracks by Lanita and probably her best video. The song is amazing and for me it is 1000x better than Video Games, which to be honest i still skip when i play the album. My favorite part of the song is the beginning and the breakdown at the end, so amazing.
The song was her first #1 and it falls at #5 in the Longest-running #1s this year and #3 by a solo woman. This unfortunately is the last entry by Lana in the SONGs category, she still has more to come in the other categories
2011: It Will Rain- Bruno Mars
2010: Fire Bomb- Rihanna
4. SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW- GOTYE FEAT. KIMBRA- PEAK: 1 [X28]
I didn't like this song when i first heard it and then i fell in love with it. Besides Rihanna's WHYB, this song blocked a lot of songs from reaching the top spot many times. The song spent 28 days on top, the 4th longest on my chart behind the aforementioned WHYB with 46 days and Lady Gaga's MTN (36 days) and TEOG (34 days). The song is thus the best performing collabo on my chart.
Interesting enough the song matches Katy Perry and Kanye West's "E.T." and Belinda & Pitbull's "Egoista" as the highest ranking collabo on a single Best Of chart, both of the other songs reached #4. That means the Top 3 songs this year is by solo artist for the 3rd year in a row and for the 2nd year in a row WOMEN dominate the Top 3, take a GUESS!!!!
2011: E.T.(Remix)- Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
2010: Egoista- Belinda feat. Pitbull
TOP ALBUMS OF THE YEAR (5-4)
5. STRONGER- KELLY CLARKSON
This album right here is the ****. The album is sooooo much better than her previous and for me this is one of her best. MKIA and the title track were really good singles but most of the album is superb. The album sports some awesome facts. The album spawned 6 #1 hits for Kelly on my chart, (Mr Know It All, Stronger, You Love Me, I Forgive You, Dark Side & Honestly). Great record Kelly, keep it up!!!!
2011: Talk That Talk- Rihanna
2010: LOUD- Rihanna
Key Tracks:
- Honestly
- You Love Me
- I Forgive You
- Stronger
- Dark Side
- Mr. Know It All
- Let Me Down
4. TALK THAT TALK- RIHANNA
When i first listened to this album i wasn't sure if i loved it but i was sure I loved "Where Have You Been" at a first listen. The rest of the album kept on growing on me becoming one of my fave Rihanna albums ever. The album holds the record for having the Longest-Running song on my chart with the 46 days spent on top by WHYB.
The album sported 6 #1s (Talk That Talk, We Found Love, WHYB, You Da One, Drunk On Love, Birthday Cake) and one #2 song "Cockiness (Love It)." The album is Rihanna's highest ranking Top Album ever, beating the #5 peak of LOUD and this own album which placed at #5 last year.
2011: Femme Fatale- Britney Spears
2010: Carpe Diem- Belinda
Key Tracks:
- Where Have You Been
- Talk That Talk feat. Jay-Z
- You Da One
- Drunk On Love
- We Found Love feat. Calvin Harris
- Birthday Cake feat. Chris Brown
THE TOP ARTISTS OF THE YEAR (5-4)
5. KELLY CLARKSON
I love this woman. She is beautiful and she can sing the **** out of a song. I wish she releases another album this year. Kelly had 6 #1s this past year out of a total of now 8 #1s. In fact Kelly is the only artist to have that long of a streak. Her current charting song has been stuck @ #2 but knowing her she has a greater chance of hitting #1 than anybody on my chart. This is her best showing on any Year End Chart beating the #25 she placed last year.
2011: Pitbull
2010: Taylor Swift
4. TAYLOR SWIFT
Taylor is one of my queens and she will forever be. I overlook the fact that well she is a little hoe but who isn't. I love her songwriting and the fact that she makes interesting music even if she can't sing for **** but she is getting better. I hope she gets lots of promo this year and lots of #1s. Let's Go Tay Tay!!! This is her best showing on a Year-End chart, she was #10 last year and #10 in 2010.
2011: Katy Perry
2010: Eminem

"THE END OF THE WORLD"
13TH UPDATE (THE TOP 3)
Here we are guys, almost at the end with only one more update to come after this!!!
Today we will be seeing the beginning of the Top 3, I will reveal the #2 and #3 Song, Albums, Artists, and Music Videos of the year. Ok guys let's get this party started!!!!
TOP SONGS OF THE YEAR, THE TOP 3 (3-2)
3. SET FIRE TO THE RAIN- ADELE- PEAK: 1 [X15]
This woman is amazing and this song is perfect. This song was one of the best performing songs of 2011 landing at #10 last year and this year it rises 7 spots to land in the Top 3. The song is one of my most played songs this year. This is the 2nd year that Adele makes the Top 10 Artist, Album and Song year off. Great Year Adele!!!!
2011: Born This Way- Lady Gaga
2010: Alejandro- Lady Gaga
2. MARRY THE NIGHT- LADY GAGA- PEAK: 1 [X36]
One of my favorite tracks on Born This Way, i mean they are all flawless. Like Adele's SFTTR this song was also in the top 10 last year. When I decided to compile this list using the chart days starting on December 1, 2011 and ending on November 30, 2012 this song took the most benefit out of it. The song spent 36 days on top, starting on December 1 of last year, the first day of the chart year. The song's chart run is impressing, becoming the longest-running #1 on my chart and although its not anymore only 3 songs have crossed the 30-day mark and Gaga owns two of them.
The song was #6 last year and for the 3rd year in a row Gaga makes the Top 3. Keep on Gaga!!!
2011: The Harold Song- Ke$ha
2010: Assassin- John Mayer
TOP ALBUMS OF THE YEAR (3-2)
LOTUS- CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Definitely a great year for Xtina and this album shows it. The album has spawned (so far) 3 #1 singles. The awesomely sounding "Your Body" which rocked the chart for a cumulative 21 days on top, the Blake Shelton assisted "Just A Fool" and another big hit "Army Of Me" which spent 13 days at the pinnacle.
The songs are undeniably amazing and Christina sounds better than ever. The album offers many highlights and another different side of Legend X, especially the dance-pop side, she's awesome!!!!
2011: Teenage Dream- Katy Perry
2010: Recovery- Eminem
Key Tracks:
- Army Of Me
- Your Body
- Just A Fool (with Blake Shelton)
- Let There Be Love
- Lotus Intro
- Circles
- Make The World Move feat. Cee Lo Green
2. BORN AND RAISED- JOHN MAYER
I know i might've misled you guys by putting the cover of this album as the banner of my Year-End but sadly it did not take the Top spot, instead it settles in at #2. This year was the year of Born as the Top 2 albums have it as the name, interestingly enough last year's #1 was "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga, weird lol
This album is amazing, one of his best. I liked his previous album "Battle Studies" more but when it comes to King Mayer id take anything. This is his 2nd year in the Top 10 of the albums chart, he was #1 in 2010.
2011: 21- Adele
2010: The Fame Monster- Lady Gaga
Key Tracks:
- If I Ever Get Around To Living
- Born And Raised
- Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
- Shadow Days
- The Age Of Worry
TOP ARTISTS OF THE YEAR (3-2)
3. TAYLOR SWIFT
One of my favorite artists Taylor makes it to #3 this year after releasing a great album and like a thousand singles. She had 7 #1 songs in 2012, the most by any artist and two songs that debut at #1. I love her style and pop Taylor is good, not trash like Nicki Minaj. She was #10 last year and #5 in 2010. Keep it going Tay Tay!!!
2011: Adele
2010: Lady Gaga
2. JOHN MAYER
My favorite artist ever, no doubt about that. King Mayer just brings so much joy to my life and to be quite honest thats not even the beginning of how much i love his music. "Born And Raised" was amazing and it gave 2012 a great meaning.
This is the 2nd time King Mayer lands in the Top 3 and the 3rd year in a row in the Top 10. He was #9 last year and #1 in 2010.
2011: Rihanna
2010: Rihanna
