As I already wrote it would have been higher in my ranking if I hadn't known most of the tracks for more than a year already  Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for your Top5! I don't know all of these albums and your #1 didn't come unexpected, but I like the list, it's as interesting as I expected it to be

#13 Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
Yeah, I know that many people are of the opinion that the album is terrible. It's definitely worse than Pink Friday lyric-wise and music-wise, but it was fun. The deluxe cover is horrid, the standard one... well, at least it's better. My favorites were Va Va Voom, Whip It, Young Forever and HOV Lane. It gets boring after a short time, though.
#12 Heal
While watching The Eurovision Song Contest this year I was kinda bored. There was nothing that really managed to excite me, but then there was Loreen. At first the way she moved felt kinda strange to me, but soon I began to like it. I didn't manage to get Euphoria out of my head and I really hoped she would win, but I would have never imagined that it would really happen, I was so happy for her She has a really beautiful voice. My favorites are Euphoria and My Heart Is Refusing Me.
#11 Trespassing
I adore Adam's voice, he's a fantastic singer. I really love the first tracks, but I wish the tracklisting was different since I rarely listened to the last tracks, not because they were bad or something like that. It's just the fact that the first half contains most of the fast tracks and the second most of the slow ones. My most played tracks are Cuckoo, Kickin' In and Pop That Lock. Runnin', Underneath and Outlaws Of Love are songs I also love.

I also don't think PFRR is terrible, it does get old after while but it still has quite a few good tracks on it is fun to listen to.
I haven't listened to the others, I might check out Loreen because I've seen the album get a lot of praise.
Adam rather not, I heard a few songs of the album for a rate I was doing and I didn't like them

Yeah, it burns out rather fast, which is sad, but I still have fun listening to the songs since I kinda had my break It feels like two different CDs in one, though.
No one can like everything, it would also be kinda boring if that was the case

It would've been more interesting if I had the time to listen to more than just 10 albums

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I definitely listened to more than 10 albums, but I wish I could have listened to more songs, too... There will be a time when we'll be able to do so... At least that's what I hope and what I really need to believe in

I still like the album and I can't wait for her third full length album Loreen's album is great, it's definitely worth checking out! I almost thought she would "never" release the album, but when she did, I instantly bought it

#10 Don't Panic
After I bought tickets to see Green Day I found out that I'd also see All Time Low. I liked them, but I had no idea how great they'd be live. Really. I had more fun when they played their songs than when Green Day did. Sadly they went on stage so early that only the half of the audience Green Day had was there Still didn't get my signed booklet, but well... it's a great album nonetheless.
#9 Lotus
I'm still sad that this flopped. Of course, it isn't exactly what one would call innovative and Your Body wasn't the best lead single, but still. I can't stand Shut Up and I don't understand why she feels the need to sing songs which are lyric-wise quite similar to Your Body, but as a whole I enjoyed it much more than Bionic.
#8 Red
I didn't really know what to think about Speak Now, but when I heard that Taylor would release a new album I decided to check it out. If I hadn't liked it, well it would have been okay. Maybe it were the similarities to Avril that many talked about, I can't tell, but I like this album. Sometimes it's not as exciting as I hoped it would be, nobody's perfect, though.

Heal is amazing...I hope MY Heart Is Refusing Me can be another hit for Loreen 
Also great to see Red inside the top 10

don't mention the signed booklet, it just breaks my heart  they did really well with this album though. back to more classic ATL sound, and I what I especially like is that they wrote it all by themselves.
Lotus, super fun danceable album that always puts me in a good mood. better than I expected and definitely didn't deserve to flop.
Red was rather disappointing to me, not because it's per se a bad album, I just expected it to be a bit more exciting and less lengthy. but I guess long albums are what she does

I still gotta check Red.
From ATRL, I was kinda disappointed with their new songs, therefore I didn't check the album.

It definitely sounds like it could be a big hit! I hope so, too, but did she even promote it yet?
I wish Red would be a little bit more exciting, but it's a good album!

I'm not really a fan, either, but I really enjoyed listening to this

A week ago I got an e-mail, saying they were still working on signing them. Why did they sell signed ones, when they didn't have them? I liked Dirty Work, but you are right, this sounds much more like them and hence I like it more And I always love it when artists write their songs themselves (well, that's what makes them real artists  ).
I didn't expect that Lotus would be this good either. I really hope the future singles help selling it...
I feel the same way about Red, I like the songs, but as a whole... it's definitely too long and not that exciting. I listened to it with breaks

I wasn't that excited when I heard For Baltimore for the first time either, but the album is definitely better

#7 Kiss
If I had to describe this album in one word, I'd say "cute". That's exactly what it is. It's not innovative, in fact many songs remind me of something, but I can't really put my finger on it. What I found out is that Hurt So Good contains a part which sounds like "Heaven Is A Place On Earth". And of course Carly isn't the best singer, but whenever I'm listening to this, I'm in a great mood (well at least as long as I'm not listening to Beautiful ), hence I wanted to include it in my Best Of. My favorite songs were Hurt So Good, I Know You Have A Girlfriend and Tiny Little Bows.
#6 The Re-Up
So much better than Roman Reloaded (that's not extremely hard, though). Really. Despite the fact that there are many featured artists - something I never like - I like it much more than I imagined. Especially the first tracks really got me and I jammed to I'm Legit
#5 A Million Lights
I bought Cheryl's first album when it was released, but I kinda lost interest when I heard Messy Little Raindrops 'cause that was indeed pretty messy. When I heard Call My Name for the first time, I didn't like it, but I guess I just didn't really listen, because a few days after that, I was addicted. The video for Under The Sun was really fantastic in my opinion, after I saw it, I appreciated the song much more. Sexy Den A Mutha is a jam!
