1979 was a vintage year in fairness - one of the best in the history of music, in my opinion, but some of the gems of that year are not even in that chart

1.Adele - 21
2.Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
3.Adele - 25

5.Ed Sheehan - Divide
6.James Blunt - Back to Bedlam
7.Leona Lewis - Spirit
8.Michael Buble - Crazy Love
9.Dido - No Angel
10.David Gray - White Ladder

No the wonder music is fkd nowadays..Amy aside there’s some shite on there.

So the fact that more people have bought these than any other albums still makes them shite? People don't buy shite albums in those number but I feel that these artists/albums just aren't the ops taste

I'm guilty of this, used to work with a chef who would bring a Jaime callum CD in to play at work and when told to turn this shite off his response was always it's not shite it's just not to your taste, probably had a point to be fair.
