So I'm going to start doing a Top 10 of each year, split into 3 parts. Part 1 will be my top 10 favourite albums which were released this year. Part 2 will be my top 10 songs of the year, which may or may not be from my top 10 albums. Part 3 will be honorable mentions, such as the best discovery I've made this year, best MV etc.

You may or may not agree with me, but hey, it's all opinion right? Who knows, you might find something to your liking! So without further ado, these are my top 10 albums of 2011!

10. - WHITE

Those who have known me on Last.fm, or has seen my listening charts anyway, knows that I was a HUGE JPop fan. I don't know why, but I liked the music that came out of artists such as 大塚愛, 上戸彩 and especially 宇多田ヒカル. But with 宇多田ヒカル decision to take a hiatus, and 高橋愛's graduation from モーニング娘。, my love of JPop has been waning. However, Angela Aki's latest album still made it into my top 10. A great voice to go with some completely brilliant self-composed tracks…

First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.
