New in Music

Recently, The Weeknd released their new album.  The album “Beauty Behind the Badness” places in the top 50 on Billboard’s top 100 list the first week it debuted.  It has a total of 12 songs with special guest including, Ed Sheeran, Labrinth, and Lana Del Rey.  My personal pick for this album is a tie between “Angel” and the Collaboration with Ed called “Dark Times”.  The album, similar to the first two, has a darker tone but is one of my favorites to fall asleep listening to.

Another new album that took number one on the charts for three weeks straight is “Sounds Good, Feels Good” from 5 Seconds of Summer.  The album really does sound good and makes you feel good.  The bands second album release sold more than three thousand albums worldwide.  They just announced their next world tour dates and many of the concerts including one at the Palace in Michigan, are already sold out.  The band has taken the world by storm after opening for One Direction during one of their world tours.  My pick for the album is “Castaway”.

Adele has finally came back to the music industry after her 6 years break.  Her long awaited single “Hello” was released and managed to get 27.7 million views in its first 24 hours.  This now hold the new VEVO record for most views in its first day.  Critics are raving that Adele has hit the mark and has what it takes to stay relevant in the music industry for a lifetime. 

The new One Direction album is set to drop on November 13^th.  The album will be the boy last before they take a much needed break from touring and making music.  The album Titled “Made in the A.M.” will feature 17 tracks.  Will the album actually come out on the 13^th or will it be leaked like the last 3 have?  We will have to wait and see.  They have recently put out a few single to keep fans happy and they have done extremely well.  Some might call them perfect (one of the songs titles is “Perfect”)
