WHAT?

Adele won’t be chuffed with this news.

While it sounds ungrateful, we’ve all had presents we haven’t necessarily liked.

When someone gifts you with something you didn’t expect, we’ve all had that moment where we’ve feigned a smile and nodded enthusiastically, claiming to love our present when really we’ve no idea why we got it at all.

According to METRO, one present in particular that people haven’t exactly warmed to is a music album, with 5 albums named as the most unwanted present.

Musicmagpie.com, a second-hand product buying site reported that (of all albums) Adele’s 25 album was traded over 30,000 times after Christmas Day.

Other albums coming in as most traded on the site were Justin Bieber’s Purpose album (25,000), NOW! 93, One Direction’s Made in the AM and Coldplay’s A Head Full of Dreams.

The 5 most unwanted DVDs that were mostly traded on Musicmagpie following the Christmas period were Frozen, Spectre, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Jurassic World and Fast & Furious 7.

Thinking of getting a loved one their ‘favourite’ album for next Christmas or their birthday? Maybe think otherwise…
