5) Lady GaGa – Born This Way Ball – Twickenham Stadium (London) I saw the 2012 Lady GaGa tour and she only makes it to number 5 in my list? It may seem strange but 2012 was a damn good year for me and gigs and our fair Lady was bettered by 4 other concerts. … Continue reading
10) Nicki Minaj – Beez In The Trap (Feat. 2 Chainz) My most impassioned relationship of 2012 was with Ms Minaj, an artist who should be my favourite of the era but does everything in her power not to be. Beez in The Trap is a reason for the former those drip drops in the … Continue reading
20) Coldplay – Charlie Brown Coldplay were a big hit on my 2011 list, their Mylo Xyloto album is most definitely my favourite of their efforts so far, and Every Teardrop was the song that really hooked me on the group. Charlie Brown was the sound of 2012 in my house though. In the lead … Continue reading
10) Bruno Mars – Unorthodox Jukebox Plagued by a December release, I doubt Bruno Mars’ second album will appear on many critic’s end of year lists. It deserves to though, refining the elements of his debut and perfecting his throwback style. Gorilla is a massive worldwide hit waiting to happen, possibly even more dramatic than … Continue reading

As judged by the articles that have been viewed most on 808sandformulae, you all know i love a good list, and in turn a good award show. I’m always interested to see whether any music award shows actually get it right (as in, agree with me), even though I understand how unimportant they actually are. … Continue reading
Here we go, this is the big one, Best Single of 2010. With multiple entries from Rihanna, Lady GaGa and some unexpected latecomers, what could be at the top? The first two posts will feature just album artwork, while the top 20 will give an overview why those selected songs were my favourite of the … Continue reading
10) Aphrodite – Kylie Minogue The Australian queen of Pop made a huge comeback, and produced her most predictably ‘Kylie’ effort to date. I have no problem with that, as this is exactly the sort of album fans were hoping for. Full of ‘Kylie moments’ from the elation in the Put Your Hands Up instrumental … Continue reading
