How many did you get from Santa?
While it sounds ungrateful, we’ve all received 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.co.uk, a second-hand product-buying site reported that (of all albums), Adele’s ’25’ album was traded over 30,000 times after Christmas Day, probably because everyone already has 11 copies of it at home anyway.
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 five 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.

Are people mad!? Feel free to send all of your unwanted albums and DVDs to JOE. We’ll find them a good home.
And if you’re thinking of getting a loved one their ‘favourite’ album for next Christmas or their birthday, maybe think otherwise…
