Born This Way is the second studio album and third major release by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was released on May 23, 2011 by Interscope Records as a follow up to her internationally successful, The Fame (2008) and the extended play The Fame Monster (2009). Born This Way is notably different from The Fame and The Fame Monster as it incorporates a broader range of elements of several musical genres such as opera, heavy metal, disco, and rock and roll, and fuses those elements with sounds of electropop and dance. The album also is heavily inspired by synthpop and electronic music from the 1980s and 90s. In the album, the central themes include those of religion, sexuality, and feminism. On the record, Gaga worked with several producers, including RedOne, the only hold over for her previous work. With Born This Way, Gaga took more control of her musical direction and the album composition.
Production first took place in early 2010, with recording sessions for the album took place at various recording studios around the world. The title was revealed in September at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards after Gaga's win of the Video of the Year Award for "Bad Romance". Just a week before the album's scheduled release, the contents were leaked online, but were shortly removed due to copyright violations.
Three singles and one promotional single were released for the album. "Born This Way", the lead single, topped the charts in over eighteen countries including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It would become the fastest selling single in iTunes history, having sold over 1 million copies within its first five days. "Judas" was the second single for Born This Way. The song peaked on the top ten in nineteen countries. "The Edge of Glory", originally released as one of two proposed promotional singles, was shortly made as the third single of the album. The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Brazil and South Korea. The promotional single for the album, "Hair", peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and chart on the musical charts in sixteen different countries.
The album has been met with generally positive reception from contemporary critics, who complimented Gaga's vocals and the album's varying musical styles. However, the repetitive use of the word "Jesus", in addition to the employment of church bells and monk voices in many of the album's tracks including "Marry the Night," "Bloody Mary" and "Electric Chapel" have all resulted in negative reactions from some Christian societies, including those in Lebanon, where Born This Way was temporarily banned. Despite such strife, Born This Way topped the charts in twenty-three countries. It debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 1.11 million copies. Over 430,000 of these sales were at a special price of US$ 0.99, which Amazon.com offered for two days during the album's first week of release.

除此之外，抒情组合SuperJunior-K.R.Y.全新风格的R&B抒情歌 ‘My Love, My Kiss, My Heart’以及旋律美丽、歌词抒情且极富特点的正统流行抒情歌曲‘Storm’、Yesung演绎的OST热门歌曲‘非你不可’的作曲家Jun-Soo Park创作的满怀深情的‘Memories’等歌曲都表现出SuperJunior感性和更加和谐的和声。

21 is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Adele. Released on 21 January 2011 in the UK and most of Europe, and on 22 February 2011 in North America, the album was named after the age of the singer at the time of its production. While it relies heavily on the folk and Motown influences that framed her debut 19, the album also explores various genres and styles from country and blues to alternative pop, indie-rock, and R&B. 21 is a break-up album, with songs exploring aspects of the singer's most recently ended relationship.
The majority of the album's production was handled by Grammy Award-winning American producer Rick Rubin, with additional producers including Jim Abbiss, Paul Epworth, Fraser T. Smith, Ryan Tedder and Dan Wilson. Released to positive reviews, critics complimented Adele's vocal performance and introspective songwriting. Preceded by lead single "Rolling in the Deep", 21 debuted at number one on the UK Album Chart with first-week sales of 208,000 copies. It also debuted at number one in over ten countries, including Canada, Germany and Ireland. In the U.S., the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 352,000 copies in its first week.
Following a well-received performance of the album's second single "Someone Like You" at the 2011 BRIT Awards, the album maintained its number one position in the UK for eleven consecutive weeks, before being dethroned by the Foo Fighters' Wasting Light on the week of 17 April 2011. However, 21 returned to the top spot the following week, and as of July 2011, has spent a total of seventeen aggregate weeks at number one. The album's eleven-week consecutive run at the top broke the record for the longest running consecutive number-one studio album for a solo artist. It also became the biggest-selling digital album of all-time in the UK. 21 has been certified 10-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, denoting domestic shipments in excess of three million units. A third single, "Set Fire to the Rain", attained success across several European territories and has peaked at number eighty-eight on Billboard thus far. In the U.S., the album spent ten non-consecutive weeks at number one, and has sold over 2.6 million copies. Total worldwide sales have surpassed eight million copies, making 21 the best-selling album of the year so far.
