Favourite(s) of the best selling albums by year in the UK (1993-2013)

Plus without her no Emeli or Adele who all followed and started their careers in emulation of.
Also my album of 2008 was 19 but of 2011 21 didn't quite cut the mustard.
It's actually pretty good lol.
It's a pity Be Here Now is the only Oasis album there as Definitely Maybe and What's The Story are much better albums.
Talk On Corners is great! Some lovely songs on there; I prefer most of the non-single tracks (Queen of Hollywood, Don't Say You Love Me, No Good For Me, Love Gives Love Takes, Hopelessly Addicted, Little Wing...) to the singles though
Absolutely!! I feel the same with the follow up album In Blue as in the best tracks weren't released as singles. Both fantastic records!!
I only own 1 and that is Back to Black by Amy Winehouse
Absolute favourites are Scissor Sisters (Such a fantastic album Their debut, Night Work and Magic Hour are all brilliant albums.) Shania Twain (not a dud track on it!) and Robbies Escapology.
Can't believe Didos albums are over 10 years old It only seems like last year where she was absolutely everywhere. It's artists like her which help you to realise that just because and artist is massive one minute doesn't mean they will be the next. The British public are very fickle.
