albums:

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
Took them to a whole new level. In a year full of synth pop this was head and shoulders above anything else

2. Wild Beats - Two Dancers
Every year there's that obscure "breath of fresh air" album. Last year it was Fleet Foxes, this year its Wild Beasts

3. Flight Of The Conchords - I Told You I Was Freaky
Not just a comedy album, musically impressive aswell taking on a wide range of genres.

4. Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream
One of the best pop albums of the year, just infectiously catchy celestial tunes

5. Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
Love that they are still developing their sound but still have the swagger. I like the Eastern influenced tone to this album aswell.


singles:

1. Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream
2. Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People
3. Julian Casablancas - 11th Dimension
4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero
5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll

Albums-

1)Lady Gaga-Monster.
Instantly in my top 5 all time albums, I actually can't fault it in anyway, it's short, but every song could be a successful single and for me, this album officially marks her arrival, she never got lucky with The Fame, she is just amazing and her success is well deserved.

2)Kelly Clarkson-All I Ever Wanted
Return to form after My December, a brilliant Pop Album with some real killer tracks on it.

3)Lily Allen-It's not Me, It's You
Full of so many catchy, simple tracks, one of my most listened to albums of the year.

4)Paloma Faith-Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful
Brilliant Debut, love her voice and the album is very strong.

5)Carrie Underwood-Play On
Felt like the longest wait for this album, even more country/pop tracks of near perfection. I wish she was successful over her, she deserves it.

Individual Tracks
Lady Gaga-Speechlee
Lady Gaga-Bad Romance
Lady Gaga-Paparazzi
Britney-3
Miley Cyrus-Party in the USA
Jay Z and Alicia-Empire State of Mind
Paloma Faith-New York
Kelly Clarkson-already Gone

Here you go

1. The Veils - Sun Gangs
2. The Leisure Society - The Sleeper
3. Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
4. The Bony King of Nowhere - Alas, My Love
5. Mew - No More Stories...

With special mentions to: Camera Obscura, Taken By Trees and Howling Bells.

Besides practically every single release by the artists above, a few singles I really loved this year (in no particular order):

Metric - Gimme Sympathy
Beach House - Norway
The Low Anthem - Charlie Darwin
Girls - Hellhole Ratrace
Shearwater - Castaways (and ok, this one was more of a free download in preparation for next year's album, but I'm still counting it)
