If there is one artist who is a testament to the fact that albums still do sell, it’s Adele. With many believing the death of the album is in the near future, Adele fights that opinion. To this day Adele has sold more than 12 million copies of her sophomore album, 21, worldwide. This is without desperate marketing strategies or silly gimmicks. In just two months from now the album will be a year old and it is predicted the album will have sold 13 million by that time.

Rihanna confirmed “Answer” will not make the track list as well as “Saxon” being titled “Red Lipstick.” “Saxon” also happens to be the name of a Chase & Status Dubstep instrumental (listen after…) Rihanna also confirmed that the album will have only one feature, claiming “we got the best!!!!!” We have a feeling this album may have a surprise hit or two.
