  1. My favourite was Anthony Callea’s album Ladies and Gentlemen the Songs of George Michael. Anthony totally nails these songs.

  3. Anthony Callea …. The Songs of George Michael

    On release, this impeccable CD/DVD debuted at #1 on the ARIA DVD chart & remained in this chart for weeks …. and what makes this CD/DVD even more special is that it was recorded LIVE IN CONCERT. It’s an absolute masterpiece.

  6. My Album of the year was Anthony Callea’s Ladies and Gentlemen, The songs of George Michael.
    These are wonderful songs across a range of genres, including jazz, soul, rock, R&B and pop. And Anthony does them all full justice. There is nothing this young man can’t sing.

  9. My nominations for album of the year:
    >O Vertigo – Kate Miller-Heidke
    >Kiss Me Once – Kylie Minogue
    >There There – Megan Washington
    >Resurrection – Anastacia
    >1000 Forms Of Fear – Sia
    >Motion – Calvin Harris
    >Listen – David Guetta
    >Beautiful – Jessica Mauboy
    >Oz – Missy Higgins
    >Bombs Away – Sheppard
    >Things I’ve Done – Karise Eden

  11. Kylie – Kiss Me Once
    Take That – III
    Cheryl – Only Human
    Kiesza – Sound Of A Woman
    Lea Michele – Louder
    Nick Jonas – Nick Jonas
    The Saturdays – Finest Selection: Greatest Hits (kind of a cheat pick but hey)

    They would be my seven for the year, having been busy with a move across the other side of the world in the middle of the year though I’m still to hear the albums from Zara Larsson, The Veronicas, Taylor Swift, Nicole Scherzinger & Anastacia which I’d be interested in hearing.

  13. I can only assume a whole lot of Ricki lee’s label/friends are on here because her album was one of the worst of all time.

  15. My top 3

    1. Taylor Swift – 1989
    Easily my favourite & at the top of her game.

    2. The Veronicas – The Veronicas
    Great comeback & solid album.

    3. Ricki-Lee – Dance In The Rain
    Under-rated. What does she need to do to get a hit?

  17. Kylie Minogue – Kiss me Once

    A strong album of pop with great production. Arguably this is Kylie’s strongest collection of songs since 2000’s “Light years”.

  18. Helena Paparizou – One Life
    Sia – 1,000 Forms of Fear
    Paloma Faith – A Perfect Contradiction

  20. Anastacia – Resurrection. Delayed for months, its criminal that aussie radio didn’t pick up “Stupid Little Things”

  28. Out of the ones I’ve heard (still haven’t gotten Sam Smiths, Ricki Lees or Taylor Swifts) id go with Kasey Chambers – Bittersweet.

    It was quite interesting to see her work with other producers and musicians and getting a different sound shine through like on Wheelbarrow. Oh Grace is such a beautiful song i must say

  34. Albums of the year : tough one

    but my top 3 would be as follows for males and females and groups

    1) In The Lonely Hour- Sam Smith
    2) Madness – Guy Sebastian
    3) Chet Faker – Built On Glass

    females:

    Ricki-Lee- Dance In The Rain
    Mariah Carey – Me.I.Am Mariah
    Sia – 1000 forms of Fear
    Taylor Swift 1989

    Groups:

    Sheppard- Bombs Away
    The Veronicas- The veronicas
    Foo Fighters – sonic highways

  36. Coldplay – Ghost Stories

    Honourable mentions to Porter Robinson – Worlds and Foxes – Glorious

  38. Kylie – Kiss Me Once. (So good, so underrated)

    Sam Smith – In the Lonely Hour (Wow)

    Sia – 1000 Forms of Fear (Lots of great songs, Big Girls Cry a favourite)

  39. Madness – Guy Sebastian. Such a diverse album, wonderful production and finish, and as husband said, not a skip track anywhere

  41. Charli XCX – Sucker. A perfect pop album with a touch of punk attitude thrown in and great melodies all around. Very uplifting record that simply focusses on the fun side of pop while at the same time managing to achieve an overall brilliant effort.

  43. Kylie Minogue – Kiss me Once

    Another gem from KM. A shame the wrong singles were picked and she is ignored by radio. Feels So Good, If Only and Kiss Me Once are the best singles she’s never released.

  44. There’s been too many! These are just some of my faves from the year:

    1. Taylor Swift – 1989
    2. Bleachers – Strange Desire
    3. Porter Robinson – Worlds
    4. Broods – Evergreen
    5. Andy Bull – Sea Of Approval
    6. Mr. Little Jeans – Pocketknife
    7. Chet Faker – Built On Glass

  46. Calvin Harris – motion it is an amayzing album full of tracks with Gray pop vocals and amayzing dandelion beats that really show off calvins abilitys

    The Veronicas – a great comeback album that shows there best qualitys and there abilitys

  47. “Shakira.” By Sharika. An eclectic album that worked from start to finish.

    “In the lonely hour” by Sam Smith. A gorgeous, heartbreakingly sad album. His voice is stunning!
    (Damien)

  48. Kylie Minogue – Kiss Me Once

    I think this album is the definition of a perfect pop album for 2014. It has some cool, edgy bangers, some breathtaking ballads and emoto-pop tracks Kylie has pretty much defined. Every single song, all 13 tracks are extremely strong. Definitely my favourite album of 2014.
