TOP 5: Albums

Hi guys, today I'm going to be sharing with you my top 5 albums of the moment. They are in desending order:

5) Taylor Swift - Red:
I really like this album. I was obsessed with it when it first came out. It has a variety of different songs that everyone will probably find at least 1 that they like. Taylor Swift has a massive fan base so i'm sure her fans weren't disappointed at all with this album.


4) Little Mix - DNA (Deluxe Edition)
I am a massive fan of Little Mix although I really disliked them when they were on X-Factor. They bring a real fresh vibe to music and it's amazing to see how close they all are. I've really been into albums lately as I have discovered you miss out on so many amazing songs as most of an artist's album do not actually get released into the charts. I definitely recommend checking this album out. 

 
 
3) One Direction - Take Me Home: Yearbook Edition
One Direction have really been growing on me lately. I don't particularly like them but I am a massive fan of their album. I really happen to love their style of music and their videos are a laugh too. I recommend this album massively.
 
 
2) Justin Bieber - Believe (Acoustic)
I have to say, It was a very tought choice between which album would get top position but the next album just pipped it to the post. Like One Direction, I don't particularly like Justin Bieber but this album is absolutley flawless! My last post was an album review so I won't go into too much detail because you can just check that out.
 

 
 1) Ke$ha - Warrior
So this is may favorite album of the moment and this is one amazing album! I have really been loving Ke$ha's new music that she has been releasing like 'Die Young' & 'C'mon' and I was just curious to see what other songs were on her new album. My favorites are 'Warrior', 'Crazy Kids', 'Dirty Love' & 'Thinking Of You'. I 100% recommend this album to anyone.

ALBUM REVIEW: Justin Bieber - Believe (Acoustic)

Hi guys, so today I'm back with another album review. My last album review was of Taylor Swift's album Red and it had a lot of views so you guys must of liked it! I also have another album review planned that will be posted in the near future! Today, I am going to be reviewing Justin Bieber's album Believe (Acoustic).

I feel like this album was anticipated by so many people and also for a long, long time. Believe (Acoustic) was released on January 29th 2013 at 12pm (USA Time). and this is his 3rd remix album. The album features 7 acoustic versions of some of his most popular songs such as Boyfriend, As Long As You Love Me etc... It also includes 3 more acoustic songs and a bonus track that was written about Bieber's ex Selena Gomez.

Tracklist:
1. Boyfriend (Acoustic Version)
2. As Long As You Love Me (Acoustic Version)
3. Beauty And A Beat (Acoustic Version)
4. She Don't Like The Lights (Acoustic Version)
5. Take You (Acoustic Version)
6. Be Alright (Acoustic Version)
7. All Around The World (Acoustic Version)
8. Fall (Live)
9. Yellow Raincoat
10. I Would
11. Nothing Like Us (Bonus Track)

I've never really been a fan of Justin and to be honest I still think he is a bit obnoxious and don't particularly like him. Although having said that, I do think he has done a fantastic job on this album and his music has definitley grown up since 'Baby' and 'Somebody To Love'. I have been a big fan of his recently released songs such as 'Boyfriend' and 'Beauty And A Beat' so I was really happy to see these were made into an acoustic version and included on this album.

My favorite tracks are:
1. She Don't Like The Lights
2. As Long As You Love Me
3. Yellow Raincoat
4. Beauty And A Beat
5. Nothing Like Us


Charts (2013):                             Peak Position: 
 Australian Albums Chart                        2
Canadian Albums Chart                          1
Irish Albums Chart                                 4
New Zealand Albums Chart                     2
Polish Albums Chart                               9
Scottish Albums Chart                            5
UK Albums Charts                                  5
US Billboard 200                                    1


Over all, I rate this album 10/10.

* I do not own any rights to this album. All credit must go to Justin Bieber and Island Records.

TOP 5: Of February so far

Hi guys, so today I'm doing a slightly different post because normally I save my favorites for the end of the month to go on my Monthly Favorties page (http://musiccentral01.blogspot.co.uk/p/monthly-favorites.html) But these are 5 of my favorite songs that I can not stop listening to:

1. Justin Bieber - She Don't Like The Lights (Acoustic)
2. Ke$ha - C'Mon
3. Ke$ha - Warrior
4. Ke$ha - Dirty Love
5. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz - Thrift Shop

I am absolutley in love with Justin Bieber's Believe (Acoustic) Album and also Ke$ha's Warrior album. I've really been into downloading albums lately but normally I would just download the song I liked and never brought the album but I recently downloaded Spotify on my computer and it's really broadened my range of music! There's so many amazing songs on albums that never get released into the charts and I think we are definitley missing out so I really recommend downloading a whole album instead of just 1 song. It may cost a bit more money but a few of the songs may get released into the charts so instead of paying 99p for each song, you pay £4-£5 for the whole album with more amazing songs from that artist. Hope this helps!
