Released around the turn of the year, this album soundtracked a particularly snowy part of winter for me. It�s not the kind of music that�s going to change lives or redefine the pop landscape, but it�s one of the more consistently upbeat and catchy dance albums of the year. I loved the lead single Radio in 2008, but there�s much more than that to enjoy here. Unfortunately, all of the wrong singles were chosen this year, resulting in a stalled campaign that never allowed the album the success it deserved. Hopefully he�ll come back even stronger.

19. Demi Lovato - Here We Go Again
If I had to pick one teen pop/fluff album this year (and there were many), it would be Demi Lovato�s sophomore release. I wasn�t a fan up until this point, but was floored by the mature, almost Alanis-type pop/rock found here. It reminded me of the late nineties, just before the big pop boom, when music didn�t necessarily need a hip-hop beat or electro undertone to be successful. This may sound weird coming from a huge electro fan like me, but it appealed to my sense of nostalgia. Better yet were the songs. They�re universally strong, and Lovato�s vocals are really quite impressive for someone so young.
