The Friday Five: 2015 Albums of the Year (Pop)

Leave a comment

It feels like we just wrote our 2014 Albums of the Year post about 5 minutes ago, but it’s time to look back on our favorite albums of 2015!   Here are our picks for our top pop albums of the year.  We included 2 EPs because they were too good NOT to and we’re crossing our fingers for full albums from them next year!

1.  Selena Gomez – “Revival”
After a public split from The Biebs, Selena Gomez is back! “Revival” was well worth the wait.

2. Carly Rae Jepsen – “E·MO·TION”
Carly Rae is easily one of the most underestimated pop artists, and one that certainly knows how to make a throwback album that sounds like it came straight out of the 80s.  (in a good way) 

3. The Vamps – “Wake Up”
The Vamps are poised to take over America with their new album and it’s about time – they’re so good!

4. Hilary Duff – “Breathe In, Breathe Out”
Hilary Duff’s 5th studio album was well worth the (long!) wait.

5. DNCE – “SWAAY”
This EP makes us want to sway and dance to every song!  We can’t wait for a full album from Joe, Cole, JinJoo, and Jack.

5. Jake Miller – “Rumors”
This EP was one of our favorites that came out in 2015 – every track is a JAM!  We’re anxious for new music from Jake Miller.

2. “5-1-5-0”

The Friday Five: Good Charlotte

Leave a comment

Good Charlotte are back with a new single,  and are heading out on tour with All Time Low in the UK!   We guess all that writing with 5SOS inspired them to venture back into the “mall punk” sound they helped craft in the early 2000s.

1.”The Anthem”

2. “Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous”

3. “Girls & Boys”

4. “Little Things”

5. “I Just Wanna Live” 

BONUS: “Makeshift Love”

The Friday Five: The Splat

Leave a comment

Nickelodeon announced this week that they are expanding their 90s TV lineup with a new programming block called “The Splat.”  “The Splat” will air every night from 10pm to 6am (no more staying up until Midnight to catch “Hey Arnold!”) and feature all your favorite 90s Nick shows.  Here are some of our favorite shows we hope to see on the lineup when it launches October 5th!

1. “Hey Arnold”
Unlike some shows, “Hey Arnold” is just as awesome as it was when you were also in 4th grade.

2. “Doug”
Doug and Skeeter were such fangirls for The Beets (so are we).

3. “Clarissa Explains It All”
The 90s fashion icon.

4. “The Adventures of Pete & Pete”
The show’s theme song by Polaris was just one of the many amazing things about Pete and Pete.

5. “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?”
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society…
