10 Nicola Roberts
Cinderella's Eyes
First of all, I have to say this is one of the best covers of the year, so perfect. That being said, who would have thought that ginger from Girls Aloud would manage to release a great solo album? It's not better than Cheryl's albums, but still an amazing record and top 10 worth material. Must confess I wasn't expecting this from Nicola, not even after hearing Beat Of My Drum, which I love. I think this and Selena's album are the biggest surprises of the year for me. It's a shame it flopped hard and blew "Cinderella's Eyes"' chances of becoming a single.
Top 5:
1 Cinderella's Eyes
2 Gladiator
3 Lucky Day
4 Yo-Yo

09 Beyoncé
4
Beyoncé is my third favorite artist of all time and I couldn't be more excited for this album. Unfortunately, it's not as good as "B'Day" and "I Am... Sasha Fierce", but still a good album and deserves a place on my top 10. The up-tempos are my favorite songs, the best one is "Love On Top", it makes me feel happy and gets me smiling, singing and dancing everytime I listen to it. My favorite ballad has to be "I Was Here", it's so beautiful.
Top 5:
1 Love On Top
2 End Of Time
3 Run The World (Girls)
4 Countdown
5 I Was Here |

08 Wanessa
DNA
I know most of you don't her and are probably thinking "What the hell is she doing here in front of Beyoncé?". Wanessa is a brazilian pop singer, the only one who actually does great pop/dance music here. She has already recorded a song with Ja Rule for her last album, it's called "Fly" and was a massive hit, staying at #1 for weeks. This year she released her first entire album in english and it couldn't have gone better, it is AMAZING, a great pop/dance record, as good as some international pop divas' albums. If you want to know her, go to youtube and search for "Sticky Dough" (the first single) and the other songs on my top 5.
Top 5:
1 DNA
2 Sticky Dough
3 Stuck On Repeat
4 Get Loud
5 Falling For U |

07 Avril Lavigne
Goodbye Lullaby
Another amazing album by Avril Lavigne, she can do no wrong. "What The Hell" as a lead single didn't do Goodbye Lullaby justice. Not that I don't like it, but it's far from being the best song on this record. "Wish You Were Here", "Smile" and "Push" are definitely my favorite tracks, they kinda remind me of old Avril. Can't wait for her next album in 2012.
Top 5:
1 Wish You Were Here
2 Smile
3 Push
4 4 Real
5 Darlin |

06 Kelly Clarkson
Stronger
I always expect good things when it comes to Kelly Clarkson, she never disappoints and this time it wasn't different. I wish she could have the success of the Breakaway era back, this amazing album didn't deserve to flop.
Top 5:
1 What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)
2 Honestly
3 Let Me Down
4 Dark Side
5 Einsten |
