Thank you, Adele. Your album is wonderful and inspiring. More than that, you had the biggest selling album for 2011 - over 5.8 million copies. That's the best selling album in seven years! And we need to thank you for something else. Because of your album, overall record sales went up for the first time in seven years. It only went up 1%, but that's still up, so thank you. Here are some new albums out this week:
Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast/Bat Chain Puller - this album is the first official release of this album since it was shelved in 1976.
The Weeknd - Echoes Of Silence
Oval - OvalDNA
Escort - Escort
The Flaming Lips have a new album also, but Yoko Ono's on it, so proceed with caution...
