The year-end lists are starting to come out lauding what the “bests” were for everything from cars to movies to recipes for vegetable lasagna! The realm of musical “tops” is no exception, and The Associated Press has gotten things rolling with its Top Ten Albums of the Year.

For 2010, R. Kelly earned a spot at #5 for his latest release, Love Letter. It seems the R&B singer has started to shed some of the negative press that’s haunted him the last few years in favor of a return to doing what he does best - making memorable music.

Obviously, the AP agrees. Here’s what they say about Love Letter:

“No midgets, no booty calls, no sex in the kitchen. R. Kelly trades perversion for perfection on the old-school throwback “Love Letter” - classy and classic.”

Other Top Tenners include Taylor Swift, Janelle Monae, Eminem, Gorillaz, and Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs. To see the full list, click here.

In the 90s, R Kelly believed he could fly. Now, he’s hoping that he can write a novel as well.

The 42-year-old Robert Sylvester Kelly, better known as R Kelly, is working on an autobiographical novel, which he hopes will set the record straight on everything from the child pornography charges he was found not guilty for, to the alleged abuse of his second wife.

The novel, just like his new album, is currently untitled, but is scheduled for release by SmileyBooks in 2011.

“I’m tired of being misunderstood,” said Kelly in a press release. “I will show you the tears, fears, and sweat. I will open my heart and reveal the good in my life, as well as the drama.”
