So?

I did not stream TLOAS yet but that Shakira album was truly something

the shakira one

The way I Was Gonna Cancel clears……

 

I like Shakira enough, but that album (if can even call it that) is truly shocking and not in a good way. Zero effort was put into it.

Kiss Me Once is such an underrated Kylie album.. there's an handful of bops on there tbh 

I'd say Shakira's, it's quite soulless and uninspired just like El Dorado. Shame because she's a fantastic songwriter.

Wow it seems like 12th albums really are cursed

MDNA suddenly seems like a masterpiece  

I came in here ready to vote Taylor but wow almost all those albums suck

Memoirs used to be one of my least favorite Mariah albums, but it aged ridiculously well. Some of her best, wittiest lyrics as well. 

Memoirs clears so bad

Oh wow, all of them being BAD to MID.

 

I'll choose Shakira I guess  even tho I loved Punteria but besides that there's truly nothing else for me, Taylor one is terrible too but the fact half of Shakira's album are 2/3 yo songs is crazy.

 

Mariah > Kylie/Madonna > Taylor > Shakira 

Kylie's Kiss Me Once is the only album on this list I enjoy.

Wow, these are all low points in their respective careers.  With that said, Kiss Me Once is easily my favourite of this bunch, though, as it has at least 7 excellent tracks on it.  The worst ones here are Shakira and Taylor Swift.  Mariah and Madonna's are pretty "meh," but not offensively bad. 

Damn these really are bad looking back, I guess KMO is the least offensive but I think MDNA has the best highlights but also horrible lows. 

 

So I pick Kylie, Mariah second, Madonna third. Love Shakira but ED and Mujeres are horrid. Never cared much for Taylor outside of Red so Showgirl is why I expected. Bad in general 

Anyone that beats MDN/a on this poll is on dire conditions

MDNA actuall starts okay with Girl Gon Wild, Gang Bang and I'm Addicted. It's the Martin Solveig tracks that ruin it. Love Spent, Masterpiece and Falling Free are also good. (basically the beginning and the end of that record)

It's Mariah's biggest album of 2025 on streaming for a reason. (over 200 million streams as of me typing this). 

12th albums metacritic

 

74 - Las Mujeres - Shaky

70 - Showgirl - Taylor

70 - Memoirs - Mariah

66 - KMO - Kylie

64 - MDNA - Madonna

 

12th studio albums: Rolling Stone

 

5 - Taylor

3.5 - Mariah

3.5 - Madonna

3 - KMO

n/a - Shaky

Stream Me Once

MDNA is the best it seems.
