My Top Albums of 2012
12:14 AM
2012
is an incredible year of music. Less popular songs became sleeper hits, viral
songs conquered the year, and even a crazy dance move became a big hit that
made the whole world dance along! So, here are my Most Played Albums that are
released this year.

CHRISTINA
AGUILERA
LOTUS
RCA
Records
XTINA
is back and kicking with her latest album, and this time, she toned down the
level of sexuality in this one. If “Bionic” was more sexual, this one’s
not much. For me, this is FAR better than Bionic and Back to Basics, and even her
first album! Stripped may be her BEST work ever, but LOTUS can definitely put up a good fight.
The
album features collaborations from Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton, who are her
co-judges in the hit singing competition “The
Voice”.

TRACK FAVORITE: “Army of Me”

ELLIE
GOULDING
HALCYON
Polydor
Records
Fresh
from her sleeper hit “Lights”, Ellie
Goulding releases her latest work “Halcyon” featuring her new smash
hit, “Anything Could Happen”. The
album got the same elements of her past albums, but Halcyon was made even
better.

TRACK FAVORITE: “In My City”

KE$HA
WARRIOR
RCA
Records
Like
her previous works which are undeniably danceable, “WARRIOR” has lived up to my
expectations. The same old yodeling-like raps, catchy hook, and auto-tune are
still present, of which it would seem like it’s her signature. Her few ballads
are good, as well. They are emotional, and a decent space to take a short pause
from upbeat tracks as you play the album.

TRACK FAVORITE: “All That Matters (The
Beautiful Life)”

MADONNA
MDNA
Interscope
Records
Madonna’s
12th studio album is indeed a Masterpiece!
I do love Madonna but not much of a fan. Not until this album, though! From the
first track to its Deluxe Version, there was definitely no dull moment.
Although I was a bit disappointed with the chart performances of her official
singles from this album, I do however, find them underrated. Need to mention, “MASTERPIECE”, which garnered a Golden Globe
Award for Best Original Song for the film “W.E.”
TOP TRACK FAVORITE: “Girl Gone Wild”

ZEDD
CLARITY
Interscope
Records
I
was not really much of a fan of EDM albums. I have Calvin Harris’ and David
Guetta’s fine works, but they don’t have much spark for me. Then there’s a Lady
Gaga leaked track “Stache” that sent fireworks to my blank mind, that made me
wondered who produced the said track. It was then I listened to ZEDD’s album
CLARITY, and I got so hooked to it.
The
whole album is like a non-stop medley. The beats of every track makes me feel
wanna party all night long.

TRACK FAVORITE: “Spectrum (feat.
Matthew Koma)”
As 2013 approaches, I am far excited to hear the songs of the upcoming year! Will Lady Gaga's new album be as glorious as what it would seem? Who will be the new artist/s that would dominate the charts? All that and more, as we keep on flipping the pages of the story of our lives.
