Great countdown Plym, love the results! I'm glad Rihanna didn't make the top 5 actually. Although 'LOUD' is a solid album basically all the way through, it isn't as atmospheric as 'Rated R' (I miss the epic instrumentals in the ballads) and it doesn't have as many 'stand out songs' to put it above 'Good Girl Gone Bad'. It's solid, but not good enough, especially as there are only 10 songs basically.

Love that Yeezy & Drizzy came out on top, LOVE those albums! I wish I'd put Jazmine #3 instead of Tinie now but oh well. Plus I'd probably put Nicki at #5 or #6 now, love her album. I haven't listened to the last 3 albums on my list much at all, but I needed to fill up room on the list....

^^ I didnt think about M.I.A.'s album as a Urban/R&B record, if I did it would've been my #2!!

by **stevyy** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 8:05 pm

i love the #2 album. It's def. one of my favourite releases of 2010. soooo many brilliant songs.

Fantasy.. and Friday are also great! Especially Pink Friday.

You could really put her in any 4 of the genres on this site at times to be honest, but she's definitely urban in many aspects of her music. Plus I wanted to get 20 albums in my list...

This year has been rather diverse in the Urban community. When were songs such as Grenade /F*ck you Nothing on you been on top of the charts in the recent years
