Yes, this happened. Adele managed to outsell the best selling album of all time. The singer is currently atop the UK charts of all time. Her second album managed to outsell Michael Jackson in the mp3 age. Imagine what it could have done before file-sharing. But, then again maybe she would not have gotten as much exposure. What do you think.
Little Boots is riding the early 90s’ dance music coattails like Alphabeat previously did and like Sneaky Sound System are doing right now. The bit that sounds the most like that genre is the catchiest in the song. Its not bad for Little Boots.

Dragonette are back in full force and are ready to take over the world with their underrated pop. The Canadian trio are set to launch the yet-untitled album sometime this year. Watch out!
We’d like watch this video, but apparently the uploader has made it unwatchable in Kuwait. Boo.
Missy Higgins is back, but the new sound is very different. We are not sure if we will warm up to it just yet, but its definitely not we expected from the Australian folkster.

Mya is back, but not making waves like she used to. Her latest single “Evolve” barely scrapes the surface of the smash hit world. But, back then she had it going good. This is one of those pre-clubbing songs that will set your mood just right before you go in and throw it down.
