No1 Albums of 2018
This year really has been a good year for albums. Last year P!nk took the crown with Beautiful Trauma, and the year before Beyoncé took it with Lemonade. But this year I’ve been too indecisive to number the albums so instead have decided to tier them. I have three tiers, No1 tier, No2 tier and No3 tier. So before we get to the No1 tier here are the other notable albums of 2018, that didn’t quite make it to the No1 tier.
No3 Tier
These albums are in no particular order. They all have some killer tracks and feature some of my favourite songs of the year but unfortunately the whole album didn’t pop so you’ll find them in tier No3.
Caution - Mariah Carey
Top Tracks: GTFO, With You
Forbidden - Todrick Hall
Top Tracks: Nobody (feat. Jade Novah and Cynthia Erivo), Type
Everything Is Love - The Carters
Top Tracks: Apeshit, Nice
Dancing Queen - Cher
Top Tracks: Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Fernando
Golden - Kylie Minogue
Top Tracks: Dancing, A Lifetime to Repair, Music’s Too Sad Without You
Outside - Burna Boy
Top Tracks: Ye, Heaven’s Gate (feat. Lily Allen)
A Star Is Born - Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
Top Tracks: Look What I Found, Is That Alright?, Why Did You Do That?, I’ll Never Love Again
Sweetener - Ariana Grande
Top Tracks: R.E.M, Get Well Soon
No2 Tier
Again in no order. These albums really nearly made it into the No1 Tier. I love all three of these albums and they all have a place in my heart.
LM5 - Little Mix
Top Tracks: Told You So, Wasabi, Motivate, The Cure
Language - MNEK
Top Tracks: Correct, Tongue, Phone, Girlfriend, Free
