Here it is! This year's countdown to UKMix's favourite Soul/R&B/Hip-Hop Album of 2010!

As per every year, the objective is simple:
Listen to your favourite albums of the year again from this year and rank them in order of how you like them. You can submit upto 20 albums. This doesn't mean you have to, you can submit only 5 if you wish, but 20 maximum.
Submitting 20 will get your #1 album 20 points, #2 19 points and so on.
If you don't want to submit 20 albums, thats fine.
If you submitted 7 (for example) then your #1 would only be worth 7 points.

You can also vote for your fave SONG from each album you vote for.

Voting has now been officially opened.
Voting will last a good couple of weeks but no closing date as yet.

Do not post your votes in this thread PM them to me. You can comment in here if you wish.

FAQ's

What is this countdown?
It's the Soul/R&B/Hip-Hop forums giant Album of the Year countdown for 210! Members vote for their fave records of the year and we count them down till #1.

Can I nominate an album that isn't mentioned in the above post?
Yes, any album that is related to Soul/R&B/Hiphop can be nominated.
The above albums are just some of the most talked about albums released this year and are examples of what to vote for.

I voted for Taio Cruz's Rokstarr last year but he re-released it with Deluxe Edition this year. Can I vote for it again?
Just like in '09, re-releases will not be eligible for voting this year.
Those artists got their chance last year. Original '10 albums only.

What are the rules for Greatest Hits, Live editions & Compilations?
Best Of and Greatest Hits are eligible so long as they were specifically released this year.
Compilations (example: R&B Love Songs Vol 7) are not though. This is an artist based chart.
Live versions are not eligible either.
Mariah's Christmas album is also not eligible. It's not R&B, Hip-Hop or Soul.

Can I read last year's countdown?
Yup, it's right here and includes the full Top 20 countdown. This year's countdown will be pretty much the same formula as it worked so well in previous years. If anyone has any objections to their name being in a post or their quote about an album being used, then PM me.

When will voting open?
I'm opening voting right from the go so start PMing! If theres an album that isn't eligible, I'll PM you back. Ciara, Keri Hilson etc aren't released until 2011 in the UK so they can't be voted for.

When will the chart be counted down?
The chart will start after Christmas but before New Year. No specific date set yet.

Do we only submit our fave 20 albums?
To spice the chart up a bit, you can post your fave song from each album too. This is not a necessity however, its just for fun and something to add to the countdown.
It's up to you!

Some more minor points:
You must have joined UKMix before December 2010 and have over 100 posts.
Bruno Mars is released in 2011 in the UK and therefore cannot be voted for this year!
Remember your genres. Black Eyed Peas new album doesn't belong in this section.

Toni Braxtons - Pulse

Yes, of course!
BanZai reminded me to include this album in the wall but I forgot!

[Mooriah]

I doubt I can even make a top 10 list! Pretty weak albums this year

[SholasBoy]

I'ma wait to hear Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Jazmine, Nicki and Ciara (if it comes out) before I vote. To be honest, most of my favourite albums this year came from pop acts like Ellie Goulding, Kate Nash, Marina and Kelis but I'm sure I'll be able to pull up 20 R&B releases.

[MonaBlissa]

FANTASIA should be on that list...and outside of sales, Fantasia has the best quality.

I'm gonna vote at the last minute because I'm still getting to know new albums from Alesha Dixon, Cee-Lo, John Legend, Tinchy Stryder, Nicki Minaj etc etc and there's the new Ciara album to come! Lots of great new releases over the last couple of months.

I hope people vote for Jaheim, definitely one of the albums of 2010!



Also... r.e. albums not being released until 2011 in the UK, the Bruno Mars one's only out on import at the moment. It's out on 24th January 2011! The Ciara album is released in the UK on 13th December 2010 so should count for this year?

Ugh dammit, I didn't know that...
If you've already voted for Bruno Mars, can you edit your lists please?

I couldn't wait so I got the import! Will have to wait until next year to vote for it.

Import

UK release

Gonna vote in this once I've listened to a few more albums (Jazmine, Chrisette, Eric Benét, Kandi, Keyshia) though it's gonna take a lot to topple Monica!

[Loveguru]

Cheryl Cole is more r'n'b than Jason Derulo

[Thombus]

I think this year has been particularly strong for Hip Hop - 09 was sh*te in comparison.

I'll be voting shortly, got a few more LP's to listen to before I make my final decision.

I'm pretty sure we've all stopped taking notice of the guy that said The Element of Freedom was like it was written by Paris Hilton.

This year, for the very first time, I think I'm gonna put a rap album as my number one.
