Best Pop Albums
-
Ariana Grande
Perfect blend of catchy and upbeat R&B style tracks mixed with more relaxing and subtle tracks which highlight her very smooth and soothing voice
-
Hikaru Utada, Utada Hikaru
Very overlooked record, even in the Japanese music sphere. The lyrics are so introspective and meaningful and the mellow instrumentals really reflect that. Very consistent the whole way through.
-
Madonna
Quintessential 80's. Purely designed to be catchy yet so memorable
-
The Beach Boys
Sounds so pure. Such warm melodies, one of the most influential pop albums ever
-
Anri
The most cohesive citypop album. While not as well known as records like Plastic Love, I think it has aged better, and songs like Windy Summer perfectly encapsulate the feeling of being carefree
-
Kate Bush
Incredibly influential and groundbreaking album, very surreal listening experience. Still holds up so well today
-
Charli xcx
The peak of bubblegum bass. Unusually cohesive for an album with this level of experimentation, yet stays so catchy
-
Britney Spears
The record which brought electropop into the mainstream. Great comeback album
-
Lorde
Bittersweet but catchy at times. Relatively introspective with consistently good production throughout
-
Lana Del Rey
Subtle & beautiful instrumentals, the perfect summer album
-
Carly Rae Jepsen
The best 80s revival album ever made. Euphoric melodies and impeccable synthpop production
