Adele set to release latest Album '30' on the 19th of November
The return of Adele has been hyped for the last year with the singer constantly hinting at new music on the way throughout the last 12 months.
Adele Adkins, 33, has always released her albums with titles based around the age that she either recorded or released them, so with latest album '30' coming out in November it's safe to say that she's been working on this for a few years.
Bookmakers are giving Adele a 75% chance (1/3) of a number 1 spot in the album chart.
You'd expect that to happen fairly easily, with last album 25 selling 800,000 in the UK alone on the first week of its release.
That album shifted more copies than the next 86 albums combined across that first week and it'd be no surprise if she goes and does that again.
Christmas Number One however could be tough for Adele, with none of us knowing if she will release a single on the week leading up to Christmas.
She may have songs from the album that do well in the charts and the first single from '25', Hello, remained at number one for 3 weeks from its release date.
Lad Baby expected to be there or thereabouts for Christmas Number 1
Lad Baby have done the hat-trick by having Christmas Number 1 for the last three years in a row and equaled The Beatles record of doing so consecutively.
The Beatles however have had a total of four Christmas Number One's and it would come as no surprise is Lad Baby were to set out to try and do so again and support charity Trussell Trust while doing so.
With bookies giving odds of EVENS for Lad Baby to be Christmas Number 1, it shows from a betting point of view that it'll be a tight affair come Christmas Day.
Lad Baby's latest effort, Don't Stop Me Eatin', got to number 1 just in front of classic All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey:
