TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2013
Admittedly, I didn't listen to that many albums in 2013, but I did find some duds and some gems.
#10 OneRepublic - Native
(162 Plays)
Top 3 songs:
1. Counting Stars
2. If I Lose Myself
3. Life in Color
Native was a huge step up for OneRepublic. I'd never been a huge fan before, but they really stepped it up with this album and gave me smashes like the top 3 songs above, Burning Bridges, and I Lived.
#9 Various Artists - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
(??? Plays)
Top 3 songs:
1. Atlas
2. Mirror
3. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Kind of surprising for a soundtrack to make a list like this for me, but this one just had so much starpower (Coldplay, Ellie Goulding, Lorde, Sia, Of Monsters and Men etc.). The three mentioned songs just clicked for me and are all some of the artists' best work. The only real dud is The National with Lean.
#8 Hunter Hayes - Hunter Hayes (Encore)
(218 Plays)
Top 3 songs:
1. I Want Crazy
2. Light Me Up
3. A Thing About You
Only in 2013 would a re-release make the top 10

Hunter was good. I've loved him more since I saw him live

The re-release was good, but the single choices were
#7 Lady Gaga - ARTPOP
(387 Plays)
Top 3 songs:
1. Aura
2. Venus
3. Applause
I don't even like Gags

ARTPOP is confusing. It's half amazing, half terrible. While there's songs like the top 3, Gypsy, Swine, and Do What U Want, there's also trash like Mary Jane Holland, Jewels n Drugs, and Fashion!. Solid enough to make my list though.
#6 Demi Lovato - DEMI
(708 Plays)
Top 3 songs:
1. Neon Lights
2. Two Pieces
3. Really Don't Care
2013 was the year that I started to get into some of Demi's music. A good choice, DEMI is a solid, filler free album (which I'm actually listening to right now). It's pop perfection backed by amazing vocals. #TwoPiecesforSingleFour
