11. Native Released: March 26th, 2013 Plays: 152 | Grade: A Mini Review: I had absolutely no idea that OneRepublic would be among my favorite albums of the year. I loved their first two releases, but they didn't slay me that hard, though their singles are amazing. This, on the other hand, is such a great piece of work. The lyrics, emotions, vocals - just everything put into it excels over WU and DOL. It's their biggest, best and strongest material yet and was so good that they converted me from fan to stan. If I made a list for albums released for the first half of the year, this would be #1 for sure.

10. PRISM Released: October 18th, 2013 Plays: 177 | Grade: A Mini Review: I was actually disappointed with this at first listen. Legendary Lovers was trash and the second half of the album was weak. Luckily, over time the album grew on me and was even one of the limited amount of albums I purchased last year. So why is it at #10? Well, all the other albums above it are just way too strong for it to pass, but Fun Katy > Mature Katy any day. Though there are plenty of amazing tracks on this, and there's not really any fillers: the second half of the album is still a mixed bag. You kinda have to be in the right mood to enjoy that section (sans DR. ) Plus, it kinda brings the overall mood down a little bit after you pass the happy, fun tracks.

DAY 19 has officially ended...
but not before one more performance!
This band has been around for three years, but they've finally hit it big with their current single! They also just appeared on my Best Songs list at #41.
