Album	Outlet	Their score	Breakdown	Published
Justin BieberSwag II“Two months after the Canadian pop star made his long-awaited return, he’s back with a second instalment that’s more playful in places, but still feels monotonous”	NME via Wikipedia	60 3/5	50	Sep 5, 2025
The 1975Being Funny in a Foreign Language“After an experimental phase, the band’s fifth album is succinct, cuttingly self-aware, and boasts some of their most-direct pop hits in years”	NME via Wikipedia	80 4/5	84	2022
Charli XCXCrash“The star marks the beginning of an experimental chapter, but in doing so, she puts her own funk-infused spin on mainstream pop”	NME via Wikipedia	80 4/5	77	2022
Adele30“Previously accused of playing it safe, Adele enters a new decade by experimenting with bolder sounds. It gives intriguing but mixed results.”	NME via Wikipedia	60 3/5	80	2021
Lady GagaLove for Sale“The veteran crooner and art-pop legend team up again, this time to pay tribute to Cole Porter's big band classics”	NME via Wikipedia	60 3/5	70	2021
Lil Nas XMontero“It’s refreshing to see him in a reflective light, but when he's upstaged by Megan Thee Stallion, the gulf between them become apparent”	NME via Wikipedia	60 3/5	83	2021
Amyl and the SniffersComfort to Me“The punks' second record is louder, sillier and at times more introspective than its predecessor, showing a more versatile side to the band”	NME via Wikipedia	100 5/5	87	2021
Billie EilishHappier Than Ever“Tackling fame with old-timey Hollywood glamour, the star has repeated the success of her stellar debut – without repeating any of its tricks”	NME via Wikipedia	100 5/5	81	2021
Miley CyrusPlastic Hearts“Enlisting Joan Jett and channelling Stevie Nicks, the singer has drawn deep from her recent rock cover songs and done an Ashley O”	NME via Wikipedia	80 4/5	73	2020
Phoebe BridgersPunisher	NME via Wikipedia	100 5/5	90	2020
Hayley WilliamsPetals for Armor“After a decade of ups and downs with her acclaimed pop-punk band, the singer dissects grief, divorce and self-identity on her eclectic solo debut”	NME via Wikipedia	80 4/5	78	2020
Liam PayneLP1“The NME review of One Direction member Liam Payne's lacklustre debut album 'LP1”	NME via Wikipedia	40 2/5	41	2019
FKA twigsMagdalene	NME via Wikipedia	100 5/5	86	2019
MadonnaMadame X“The pop icon's fourteenth album is bold, bizarre, self-referential, and unlike anything Madonna has ever done before”	NME via Wikipedia	80 4/5	73	2019
LSDLSD“Tried-and-tested bangers from some of the most recognisable voices in modern pop. Anyone looking for surprises will be disappointed.”	NME via Wikipedia	60 3/5	65	2019
Troye SivanBloom“With his triumphant second album, the Perth pop star tears away all the filters to share a deliriously upbeat statement that washes over you like a dopamine rush”	NME via Wikipedia	100 5/5	83	2018
The CartersEverything Is Love“On this collaborative album from The Carters AKA Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the overarching mood is that of pure joy.”	NME via Wikipedia	80 4/5	79	2018
