Late as hell, I know. However, no one reads this crap any more and I just do it for myself so here we ago! Another year, another list! Less than last year, but still too many.

Some surprises for me this year were Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna. YU-A also blew me away with a fabulous album kicking her weak debut's ass. OMG, May J.'s album too!! After two really really really crappy ones, she finally put out great album!! Here's to hoping we get another from her in 2012.

Enjoy the list and comment if you like! I will try to reply if anyone bothers to say something. Toodles ~

So I'm going to start doing a Top 10 of each year, split into 3 parts. Part 1 will be my top 10 favourite albums which were released this year. Part 2 will be my top 10 songs of the year, which may or may not be from my top 10 albums. Part 3 will be honorable mentions, such as the best discovery I've made this year, best MV etc.

You may or may not agree with me, but hey, it's all opinion right? Who knows, you might find something to your liking! So without further ado, these are my top 10 albums of 2011!

10. - WHITE

Those who have known me on Last.fm, or has seen my listening charts anyway, knows that I was a HUGE JPop fan. I don't know why, but I liked the music that came out of artists such as 大塚愛, 上戸彩 and especially 宇多田ヒカル. But with 宇多田ヒカル decision to take a hiatus, and 高橋愛's graduation from モーニング娘。, my love of JPop has been waning. However, Angela Aki's latest album still made it into my top 10. A great voice to go with some completely brilliant self-composed tracks…
