adele tgj competition 25

All roads lead to November 20th for Adele Adkins.

The 27 year old Brit songbird who took the music world by song in the early noughties is back and appears poised for a redo.  As if the record shattering success of ‘Hello,’ her long-awaited comeback single, wasn’t enough, industry analysts indicate the tune’s parent album, ’25,’ is on track to set the record for the best first-week sales of any LP ever (current record held by N’SYNC‘s 2000 ‘No Strings Attached’ album at 2.4 million sold).  The strength of pre-orders alone show the album will sell no less than 1 million its first week and will unquestionably surpass the first week sales record set by fellow ‘it girl’ Taylor Swift last year.

But, while we anxiously await official news, we are set to offer TGJ readers their chance to get in on all the excitement.  You already know we’ve got our copies on deck, but now we want to give 2 lucky winners the opportunity to get their hands and ears on the album the whole world will be talking about.

Interested?  We thought you’d be.  To enter, all you have to do is answer the question below:
