 | Perfect Symmetry by Keane
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.83 Keane upset some fans by dabbling with 80s electro-pop, but their willingness to try something different resulted in their strongest album so far.
|
 | Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.64 A return to the sound of their first album - it disappointed fans of 'Supernature' but I rate it as their best yet.
|
 | Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (Gatefold Digipack) by Coldplay
Buy used from: £1.98 They're easy to knock, but this album showed signs of a welcome evolution in their sound.
|
 | Catfights and Spotlights by Sugababes
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.56 Three ropey tracks aside (including both singles, sadly) this is mature, sophisticated pop; miles better than last year's 'Change'.
|
 | Funhouse by P!nk
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.71 A surprisingly downbeat album about her marriage break-up; moody pop hooks abound
|
 | Rockferry (Deluxe) by Duffy
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.49 A certain Mr Butler's songwriting talents lifted this from just another 60s soul pastiche into something special.
|
 | Hard Candy by Madonna
Buy new: £10.38 / Used from: £1.98 Undeniably hit and miss, but the strength of the Timbaland-produced tracks make Madge's latest worth a purchase.
|
 | This is Alphabeat by Alphabeat
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.77 Totally uncool but highly enjoyable, drawing influences from 70s and 80s pop such as Chic and The Human League.
|
 | Dig Out Your Soul by Oasis
Buy new: £7.68 / Used from: £1.93 It's patchy - like every other Oasis album since 'Morning Glory' - but the good stuff is the best they've done for some years.
|
 | Chasing Lights by The Saturdays
Buy used from: £1.99 After the huge disappointment of Girls Aloud's insipid new album, along came this minor pop gem to redress the balance.
