I just realized that 4 of the greatest albums of this century so far have come from 4 young women releasing their sophomore album. Adele, Amy, Florence, and Lorde all BROUGHT IT when it came time to release the follow-up to their debut albums. This is definitely one of the hardest choices I've encountered/thought of on pulse in a while, all 4 albums are literal masterpieces. I have to go with Florence, only because Ceremonials meant so much to me at the time and will always be my favorite album of all time. Can't wait to see some other responses! these are all such great albums that I could understand any one of them winning. EDIT: There isn't an "other" option for a reason pick from the 4 above and keep your fave's sophomore album in your own damn polls :sip2: EDIT 2: ya'll a mess doing the most

lmao Glove Slap and that pile of receipts. BUT to honor the poll and the four wonderful albums listed: 1. Ceremonials 2. 21 3. Back to Black 4. Melodrama The top three were painful to choose from. Melodrama is very good, but a distant fourth (/like 8th including all of Glove Slap's grid).

I do not really like the albums proposed, though I do like some songs by Amy and Adele. I love Lorde's 1st album - whole - by 2nd album did not get me at all. Not a single song.
From above mentioned Ultraviolence by Lana Del Rey
Spirit by Jewel
Though Foolish games is for me the most beautiful song in English... I do not like the 1st album...but 2nd and 3rd are awesome from start to finish
En Vogue - yes Christina Aguilera - yes Brandy - yes Monica also Toni Braxton Janet Jackson Paula Abdul - Spellbound - masterpiece!

All of these are pretty good!
My favorite is obviously "Melodrama".
Lemme add "Breakaway" and "Teenage Dream" to this list.

1 Back to Black by Amy Winehouse - my favorite album of the 2000s 2 Melodrama by Lorde - among my favorite albums of the 2010s 3 21 by Adele - don't love the whole album but the 3 lead singles are incredible 4 Ceremonials by Florence + The Machine - I don't see how this compares to the other 3
Other stellar female sophomore albums since the release of BTB for me are Overpowered by Roisin Murphy, Actor by St. Vincent, The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga, and Electric Lady by Janelle Monae

4 Ceremonials by Florence + The Machine - I don't see how this compares to the other 3 Track 1: Only If For a NightI do like that song, I actually forgot about it. But I still feel like it doesn't measure up to the other 3 options as a full album.

I understand people mentioning albums other than the 4 in the topic post, but why mention albums from the 90s when the overall point of the topic post was female sophomore albums from this century?

Yeah, I don't have any of the albums that are listed in the polls, so I can't vote for any of them. Since I see a few people listing their own choices here, I guess I'll do the same. Never Say Never - Brandy Secrets - Toni Braxton II - Boyz II Men CrazySexyCool - TLC Emotions - Mariah Carey The Writings On The Wall - Destiny's Child Private Times...And The Whole Nine - Al B. Sure! Stripped - Christina Aguilera My Life - Mary J. Blige The Boy Is Mine- Monica Fear of Flying - Mya One In A Million - Aaliyah The Notorious K.I.M. - Lil' Kim Sweet 19 Blues - Namie Amuro Spellbound - Paula Abdul Whitney - Whitney Houson Celine Dion - Celine Dion Touch - Amerie The Evolution - Ciara

21 and Melodrama out of these however, you are missing one of the best albums of the decade - as well as Late Registration, The Low End Theory, The Infamous, ATLiens, Marshall Mathers LP, Liquid Swords, Life After Death, 2001 and Death Certificate.

Those are not female albums. Did you read the topic post? He said his thought was about sophomore albums this century by females. Why are people bringing male albums and 90s albums into it?

Lorde has produced two albums that have been soundtracks to my life, so Melodrama easily takes this for me.
