Musical stars Drake, Chris Brown, and Rihanna find themselves on BET's list for the "Top 20 Albums of 2011." The list includes these three who have been linked in terms of music and relationships, as well as other newcomers on the scene such as Wale, Big Sean, and Tyler, the Creator.

The BET 2011 albums list includes choices that many would expect for the past year in hip-hop or R&B music. These are albums such as Watch the Throne by Kanye West and Jay-Z, Hell the Sequel by Bad Meets Evil, and Tha Carter IV by Lil Wayne. For R&B, Beyoncé appears on the list along with Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, and Rihanna. Brown's album, F.A.M.E., had several chart-topping hits over the past year, while Rihanna is just starting to churn them out from the Talk That Talk album (pictured). Same goes for Drake with his recent release, Take Care, which is full of a variety of good music for listeners to choose from.

Of note, there are several relatively new albums appearing on BET's list that can be given as Christmas gifts. These include the new album Undun by The Roots, TM: 103 Hustlerz Ambition by Young Jeezy, and The Dreamer, The Believer by Common. Hip hop fans have been singing the praises of these albums and groups for some time. However, one has to question if BET was too quick to include Common and Jeezy as their albums were just released for sale today. In fact the @106andpark Twitter from BET posed the question for fans:
