This year music was beyond big. Fans of Adele were thrilled at the release of 25, her first album in four years. So much so that she sold 5 million copies in the first week. Then there was the unlikely musical paring of Paul McCartney with Kanye West and Rihanna. Their hit FourFiveSeconds was not only a surprise to fans, but also a trip down musical lane (both Ye and Paul have worked together before).
And who could forget Wiz Khalifa‘s tribute song to Fast & Furious 7 tribute actor Paul Walker? So far the song has racked up combined chart sales of 1.07 million since it was released in April.
