Top 3 Ballads of 2016:

1. Adele: Hello

Adele began her highly anticipated

comeback by releasing this record-
breaking ballad as her lead single. It

broke countless records and was listed

as the best performing ballad released by

a female artist. Adele’s soulful voice and
powerhouse vocals were clearly missed.

2. Demi Lovato: Stone Cold
This raw, moving & emotional

ballad earned Lovato her first

Grammy nomination for ‘Best

Pop Vocal Album’. Her powerful
vocals & soulful voice perfectly

captured the pain in the lyrics of

this ballad about her heart-
break. 2016 was definitely a

year of recognition for Demi,

due to the success of this record.

3. Justin Bieber: Love Yourself

This R&B/Soul ballad was a
slower & softer sound for

Bieber, which is a genre he less
often caters to. People clearly

enjoyed it, though, because this

Grammy Nominated song is up
for ‘Song of the Year’.
