Definitely 20/20; the others are simply lacking quality in interesting content, which makes me sadface 🙁

Cause this Billboard just serves to exemplify the overproduction and over-commercialization of The Mainstream - mass audience appeal with nothing but: addictive hooks, exhausted lyrical content, basic / uninspired structures. They're all catchy at first, then you're eventually drowned in a deluge of mediocre music...

wow I just realized, I sound like such a hipster

A bit crazy that Daft Punk is not there. Ah, maybe in France we talked about it much more than in the US, but these guys really seemed to be everywhere.

Random Access Memory was #19 on the year-end Billboard chart.

These were the Top 10 selling albums on iTunes this year, I think by definition that makes them "megahit albums"

The 20/20 Experience, Justin Timberlake
Beyoncé - Beyoncé
Night Visions - Imagine Dragons
Magna Carta… Holy Grail - JAY Z
Nothing Was the Same - Drake
The Heist - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Pitch Perfect - Various Artists
Babel - Mumford & Sons
The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem
Random Access Memories - Daft Punk

Admittedly there are a few 2012 releases in there.

From these, Beyoncé easily. From the actual poll, I don't think there are any I can support.

1. The 20/20 Experience, by Justin Timberlake
9. Crash My Party, by Luke Bryan

The rest were released in 2012 🤔 And some even in the middle of 2012.

Daft Punk where everywhere in the world this year despite making enough public appearances to count on one hand.
