10. Tove Lo
Although I was not a huge fan of her newer stuff, her older one helped her climb and snatch a spot in the top 10 too. Hopefully she will go back to her roots with the next album.
09. Rihanna
I was pleasantly surprised by her music. It was truly something new for her and I hope she continues this way.
08. Beyonce
Lemonade is overrated, but it still has its highlights. Self-Titled was miles better.
07. Jones
Jones is here again. I don't know how she isn't big yet when all of her singles would sound nice on the radio. Her album is amazing, you should check it out.
05. Sia
In spite of the awful concert of hers I have experienced, she is quite an artist, but at the same time, she's too radio friendly and seems to pretentious for the music she makes. However, she is definitely something different and I like that.
04. Foxes
I loved Foxes' comeback. The album is much better than Glorious, although I've worn it out kinda quickly. Still a nice body of work.
03. Lady Gaga
Being a former Gaga stan, I was not expecting very much from this new release. Let's face it, in spite of being super catchy (and making my top 10), Perfect Illusion is kind of basic, those lyrics are truly awful But the whole record was quite different for her and we finally got to see a more vulnerable side of hers. It was nice overall
02. Britney Spears
Britney's comeback had me shook. It's so much better than what Britney Jean tried to deliver. It had the dance moves and everything you would expect from a Brit album. Those bonus tracks should've been on the standard tho. Yes, even Coupure Electrique.
01. Gwen Stefani
After like 4 years since Push & Shove, her last project along her former band No Doubt, she came back with this record which might have been a little bit too pop for her. However, I still found the old Gwen in it + I've missed her so there's that. She had a nice year overall, in my opinion and I am glad she finally came back.

Thank you everyone for commenting and actively contributing to this. Thank you for sharing me a bit of your taste as, for this past month, I've tried to listen everyday to the stuff you would put in your Best Of's. I am going to definitely try some albums and get into some more stuff. Hope you have a nice 2017! See you in the next one
Sia is really good (especially her mid 00's/early 10's material).
Gwen is pretty nice too and Britney's album was good this year.
This was a really nice countdown to follow! So much diversity and so many artists I knew and love too!
