Artist: WHITNEY HOUSTON
Title: MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE
Year: 1998

Points: 638

My Love Is Your Love is the fourth studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released worldwide on November 17, 1998. The album, her first studio album in eight years since I'm Your Baby Tonight, was composed of mid-tempo R&B, hip hop, ballads, urban-dance, reggae, and torch songs, produced by different musicians such as Rodney Jerkins, Soulshock & Karlin, Wyclef Jean, David Foster, and Babyface.

Even though MLIYL is my favourite Whitney album and is a solid album, I think Whitney's death helped it make the top 10.

[NothingFails]

1. Butterfly (Mariah rules UKMix, let's face it)
2. Ray Of Light
3. Jagged Little Pill
4. The Velvet Rope
5. Dangerous

If not in that order, I see these five somehow being the top 5 regardless.

But the top 5 only contains albums from 3 different years.

I don't think 'Butterfly' will be #1, because even though Mariah rules UKMIX, none of her other albums could even go top 10.

Good call. I guess either Alanis or ROL will be switched out for Nirvana since that and Dangerous were both 1991 albums.

Butterfly seems to be the album everyone agrees with on Mariah though. I know so many fans who consider Music Box the worst album ever.

Artist: MARIAH CAREY
Title: BUTTERFLY
Year: 1997

Points: 642

Butterfly is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released on September 16, 1997, by Columbia Records. The album contained both hip-hop and R&B sounds, as well as some softer and more contemporary melodies. Throughout the project, Carey worked with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she had written and produced most of the material from her previous albums. She also worked with many famed hip-hop producers and rappers, such as Sean "Puffy" Combs, Kamaal Fareed, Missy Elliott and Jean Claude Oliver and Samuel Barnes from Trackmasters. With the latter acts producing most of the album, Butterfly deviated from the contemporary sound of Carey's older work, and was hailed as a defining album of the 1990s and of pop and R&B music.

ouch, okay, I was wrong on that one

Artist: JANET JACKSON
Title: THE VELVET ROPE
Year: 1997

Points: 674

The Velvet Rope is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released October 7, 1997 by Virgin Records. Prior to its debut, Jackson had been at the center of a second high-profile bidding war over her recording contract. Following the release of her first greatest hits compilation Design of a Decade 1986/1996 in 1995, her contract with Virgin allotted her the option to leave the label. The Walt Disney Company attempted to sign her jointly with PolyGram, while Virgin sought to renegotiate her contract in order to retain her. Virgin was able to succeed in their negotiations, with Jackson receiving a historic $80 million dollar contract, making her the world's highest paid musical act for the second time in her career.

it's history and dangerous inside the top 5?

[biscuits]

Bit disappointed that 'The Velvet Rope' only made #7.

But on the other hand, both of Janet's albums were voted the best of their year.

[Wayne]

Its a typical UKMix top 10, but there's some glorious music nonetheless.

[stevyy]

OMG #9-#7 shows 3 outstanding releases.

Butterfly obviously is the best album ever recorded by any artist..

I own each of the three.

also shania's album is brilliant.

[remiell]

Yay for Tragic Kingdom! My #4.

The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album is the soundtrack from the film of the same name, released on November 17, 1992, by Arista Records and mainly features songs by Whitney Houston, as well as songs from various other artists. The album was co-executive produced by Whitney Houston and Clive Davis.

The soundtrack later went on to win a Grammy Award for Album of the Year and was certified 17× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on November 1, 1999. To date, it has sold over 44 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling soundtrack album of all time, as well as one of the best selling albums of all time.

So many great albums!

The Writing's On The Wall is probably DC's best album. It's full of great R&B tunes.

Falling Into You is phenomenal! It has some of Céline's biggest and best ballads of her lengthy career.

Daydream is a Mariah album that's a bit overrated but it's still got some pretty phenomenal tracks like "Always Be My Baby" and "One Sweet Day".

Bedtime Stories is my fave Madonna album. It's criminally underrated, in my opinion.

Come On Over is brilliant. There really isn't a bad track on it.

Tragic Kingdom is a lot higher than I expected! "Don't Speak" is a timeless classic though.

My Love Is Your Love is one of Whitney's best if not her absolute best record. It's just so cohesive and strong throughout. R&B classic record, in my opinion.

Butterfly is far and away Mariah's most overrated album. "My All" is all types of brilliance though.

The Bodyguard was deservedly massive. It contains what are arguably Whitney's two biggest ballads of all-time, one of them being "I Will Always Love You", the biggest hit from a female artist of all-time and one of the best songs ever recorded, in my opinion.

[Lemo]

1. Bjork - Homogenic
2.
3. Bjork - Post

8. Bjork - Debut
9. No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
10. Radiohead - Ok Computer

The Top 5 shall be revealed by the end of the night

[CrazyCrazy]

Bodyguard soundtrack? Some good ones up in here.

[Wayne]

So Whitney was the diva to have two top 10 albums!

Bodyguard is alright, the Lisa Stansfield track is my favourite, followed closely by Kenny G.

[NothingFails]

Bodyguard is a little high when you factor it's mainly a Whitney EP with some other artists.

Still, the Whitney songs on it are all ace.

[Wardo]

The Miseducation and Californication crashed out so early...

I'm off.
