For the second straight year, Adele’s “21” is the #1 selling album of the year.
Maybe that’s why we’re all “Adeled-out". A little happy she’s having a baby and taking some time off. Most of the usual suspects are on this list, but Mumford & Sons’ “Babel” at # 4 is a testament to “non-mainstream” bands having a better chance of cutting through in this digital age. Lionel Richie’s “Tuskegee” at # 9 is also a big surprise. Honestly, I don’t know of anyone who has downloaded it, or even talked about it. But someone must be buying it!
