Turning Tables (Live)

 

'21' is the second album from singer-songwriter Adele, and like her first record, 2008's '19', it is named after the age Adele was when she wrote the album. Most of '21' was produced by Rick Rubin, who has worked with some of the biggest acts of the last 20 years, and Florence & The Machine producer Paul Epworth. Lyrically the album reflects Adele's increased maturity since '19', although it explores many of the same themes.

Touted as his "angriest" album in years, Wrecking Ball finds Bruce Springsteen breaking away from Brendan O'Brien and working with Ron Aniello, a producer best-known for his modern rock records. This isn't the only new name in Springsteen's orbit: Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello and Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Chamberlain appear alongside members of the E-Street Band and Willie Nile, giving Wrecking Ball an unexpected diversity that mirrors Bruce's highly-charged socially-aware songs - HMV

10 :down: (from 7) Lionel Richie - Tuskegee

Label: mercury

 

Lionel Richie's birthplace is Tuskegee, Alabama so for his 2012 country duets album, Tuskegee, he is trumpeted as the country boy returning to his roots. And there's something to that: as a songwriter, Richie has had success on the country charts, scoring big with Kenny Rogers of "Lady," one of many Lionel covers Kenny sang over the years. Rogers' enthusiastic embrace of Richie is an indication that the former Commodore's definition of country isn’t quite down-home, and Tuskegee proves that assumption true, with each of Lionel's partners coming from the pop side of Nashville. A few perennials crop up -- Kenny comes in for a revival of "Lady," Willie Nelson stops by to lay some guitar and vocals on "Easy" -- but the point of the album is as much to have current stars pay tribute to Richie as it is to ease him onto country-pop airwaves. Tuskegee winds up being fairly successful in this regard. No matter how many fiddles and steel guitars are added -- and there are never too many -- the songs are never so altered as to be unrecognizable, the melodies are always proudly prominent, and there isn't a speck of dirt to be found anywhere, so it's suited for any clean crossover occasion. Apart from Pixie Lott -- a singer who has absolutely nothing to do with country -- popping up on the international version of the album and maybe the revival of the recent "Just for You," there are no surprises on Tuskegee; even the partners match up correctly, with Jimmy Buffett adding good times to "All Night Long," Shania Twain playing the Diana Ross role on "Endless Love," Rascal Flatts forcefully pumping out the good cheer on "Dancing on the Ceiling," Blake Shelton smiling along on "You Are." Even if the production has changed -- it’s not as glossy as the '80s, there are fewer keyboards and more guitars-the sensibility remains the same, so Tuskegee generates a bit of déjà vu: the surroundings are new, yet everything feels familiar. Whether that’s a comfortable bit of nostalgia or just a shade too predictable depends entirely on the tastes of the listener. ¯ Stephen Thomas Erlewine - HMV

Good for Marcus, Michael and Military wives.

Ergh. Military Wives #1.

 

Was sort of expecting Adele to climb back to #2 but I suspect she'll still have had a sales increase? Shame to see Michael only making #4.

 

Wild Ones might finally move more than one place next week :lol:

Disgusting #1 album, would have preferred Springsteen to stay at #1 for both quality and to cut down on the number of one-weekers. Paul Weller will probably add to that next week but that one I don't mind :P
Loving the continued presence of Sia in the top ten, as well as Military Wives getting the #1 album! :D
Nostril Lady #4 at least :cheer:

If she was last on when Hallelujah went to number one that is a lot closer to three years than four.

Pity Wild One didnt go to 4 again lol....nice to see Burke having a slight dig at radio 1 for not having her on in 4 years lol!!

 

I remember she was at Radio 1 once in 2010 when she was promoting Start Without You. It's probably just Reggie in particular that she hasn't met in 4 years.

Alexandra top 3! :D

 

Judging by the Friday midweeks, I assume her position is obvious now.

Fearne Cotton? :P

 

 

(Nostril Lady) That's how James Masterton dubbed Alexandra Burke in her X-Factor days. (Likewise: JLS = The Tokens, Diana Vickers = Barefoot Barbie, Eoghan Quigg = Hornswoggle)
