TOP 20 ALBUMS

#15 - #11

 

#15 Allie X – CollXtion II

 

Love me some good synthpop. I listened to this album for the first time because of an ATRL rate and then I started using it regularly. Good thing that I discovered her only in June so it hit me all at once (and I didn't experience another So Good/Dua Lipa situation); I think I prefer it to CollXtion I (which I listened to for the first time after this) because it’s a bit more chill and I like that, both are good tho. Standouts: Vintage, Paper Love, Lifted.

 

 

#14 Lil Uzi Vert – Luv Is Rage II

 

Lil Uzi Vert is probably my fave among the new generation of rappers. His flow is perfect for the cool and catchy productions of this album, you can tell that he worked with some of the best producers from the current urban scene; even if there are a few fillers, nothing is unlistenable and the album flows well. I’m a bit disappointed from the Abel collab tho, it’s way too ripetitive. Standouts: XO Tour Llif3, Two, The Way Life Goes.

 

 

#13 Sabrina Claudio – About Time

 

Kinda shocked at the quality of this debut album. ‘About Time’ offers slow and intimate R&B jams and some more uptempo tracks (like Used To, an amazing combo of R&B and dance, and Wait), but always keeping a beautiful, chill and atmospheric mood; I highly recommend you to check her out if you haven’t already. Standouts: Belong To You, Used To, Unravel Me, Wait.

 

 

#12 Zara Larsson – So Good

 

If you followed my previous countdowns you know that I’m #ZardinesTeam; Zara is my favourite new pop girl, I just love her voice and her presence. I’m not gonna lie, I’m not completely happy about this LP: So Good left me disappointed because most of the highlights were already released before the album, because she scrapped some songs that I love (Push Pull, Permission, Wanna) and because it feels a bit more uncohesive then her swedish debut 1, BUT it’s still a nice pop album which I played it a lot during this year; If it came out like in mid 2016 after only two singles it would’ve been better received for sure. For her next album I hope she goes a bit back to her Swedish/European roots, she doesn’t need to go the urban route because that is what’s cool in the US right now. Btw can’t believe this album includes my 2015 #1 single lol (which is still her best song). Standouts: Lush Life, TG4M, One Mississippi, Never Forget You, Symphony.

 

 

#11 Lana Del Rey – Lust For Life

 

Lust For Life is Lana’s third best album so far and it’s definitely an improvement post Honeymoon but it’s still far from Born To Die and Ultraviolence highs; it showed use a brighter and happier side of Lana tho, so that’s appreciable. Getting new music from her is always a pleasure, keep doing your thing Elizabeth. Standouts: Lust For Life, 13 Beaches, Cherry, Get Free.

I never got around to listening to So Good even though I like Zara  But I stan for the singles  

nnn listen to TG4M and One Mississippi and then you listened to all the best tracks

[Tom Vercetti]

Allie had one the better alt pop albums. Surprised Sabrina hasn't gotten much attention.

Liking those standouts for each album overall. 

[Loyalty]

Allie, Uzi, Zara, Lana 

[potent]

I use LFL! Should probably check out Allie X...

[lhdang2000]

I agree about So Good, it has the same problem with Dua Lipa that it's too long for me. 

[Chemical X.]

Unravel Me is a SONG 

[Diet Pepsi]

I like So Good but I’m a little bitter because it gave me a permanent WP  ICFILWY Funeral & One Mississippi are all better than every single

I really need to get into Sabrina & Allie

[volition]

Lana, Uzi  wasn’t a fan of the other albums unfortunately

Standouts: One Mississippi,

I just noticed dis

interesting Marco, really interesting

[Remmy]

Lust for Life So Good CollXtion II

 

Allie really snapped on ha album. Just discovered her in October and was not expecting to be wigless from play #1.
Your standouts for her and Zara "Lust For Life is Lana’s third best album so far" Hmm I think I can actually agree with this, but not w/ your discography ranking  Get Free is fantastic of course.

[Temporal]

I only recognize Zara and Lana's albums, but your standouts were... interesting  

My Daily Mixes on Spotify keep trying to shove Allie X down my throat, I need to give in and listen to her album already  

[Staryu]

Lil Uzi, Zara, and Allie  

[NewRihannaStan]

...but we still stan!

[Sunderland 4ever]

I gave a listen to Lana's latest album. It was nice but then again she's not my cup of tea.

 

Zara Larsson's on the other hand is one of those albums I liked but left abandoned for months.

[TheWayWeWere]

I was very hyped by ATRL for So Good, but welp... it went nothing Symphony is cute tho

LFL missed top 10 yeah, still worse than UV and BTD, but big improvement from Boremoon

[prézli]

Waiting for TALENT.

 

 

(Don't know either of these.)

[Pedro]

On a first listen, "So Good" also left me disappointed but now I love it! Also love Lana's record.

no update tonight fats, there's our local X Factor finale

 

 

btw just realized I deleted by mistake an album that was going to chart in the top 10 from my list

soo, all the albums that appeared so far lose a position, with Kehlani's album becoming a HM I will fix all the posts later.

see you tomorrow for albums #11 - #6!

 

[Same Ol' Mistakes]

Zara Larsson being higher than Sabrina Claudio, sis wyd?

I'm a #zardine, they already want to burn my stan card because she's not top 10

[K$Ellie]

Glad Kehlani made the list (just barely) but she deserved to be higher

Reputation and Tell Me You Love Me are too low as well

Party's Over was a cute EP  my standouts are the same

CollXtion II was a cute girl  Mess @ So Good  I only like 3 songs on that album

Lust For Life has some nice songs but it had too much filler imo
