This list was derived based on album sales, relevancy, Billboard charts, art, quality, and overall organized sound of the album. There is no particular order or rank for the list, just 10 of the year’s best albums from my perspective. These are not album reviews meaning I am not critiquing the albums. For my thoughts and criticism on the albums, go to my music reviews. Big Sean - Dark Sky Paradise   Although you haven't heard much from Sean in the latest months of the year, he's definitely have had a great year. Sean released his third studio album Dark Sky Paradise on February 24, 2015 and well, he's been waaaay up, blessed since having over 300,000 in sales.

On time and ready is what the punk rock group 5 Seconds of Summer did with their sophomore album Sounds Good Feels Good . The 17 track album released on October 23 includes the hit singles "She's Kinda Hot" and "Hey Everybody," which also went #1 on Billboard charts. Fans wasted no time making the album trend worldwide, and I can't blame them. Sounds Good Feels Good is an appropriate title for the album, because it stirs up those exact emotions. I enjoyed the album! Audiences of all ages can enjoy the album, ranging in topics from depression to society's value of the monetary system.

Album On The Way Within only 2 hours of releasing their new single "She's Kinda Hot," pop/punk/pop/rock band 5 Seconds of Summer is already trending worldwide. The 5Sos fam were a little confused on Wednesday after the band posted on their 5onthewall website, a 2 hour video of a painter painting the cover art for the unexpected single.

"She's Kinda Hot" is currently the #1 song in 33 countries on iTunes. The lyric video for the song has already been posted on YouTube. Now listen for yours...
