MOST REQUESTED ALBUMS OF SPRING 2013

A few anticipated albums have a tendency to slip behind the cracks here at Has it Leaked – Either they don’t end up on the “Trending albums” list, get featured in the front page slider or get left behind when there are other major leaks happening. With this list we’re trying to cover some of the most anticipated albums, and divide them into their respective genre. This list isn’t based on Has it Leaked statistics – Instead, these are the most visited and requested albums on private music torrent trackers such as What and Waffles. While we don’t support torrent sites, they are an interesting source of information. Using those sites we’re able to gather unique information few music publications have insight into. We have skipped certain titles which have either been delayed for ages (Avalanches sophomore album), unlikely to get a release this year (Dr Dre’s Detox) or titles which lack any sort of official word (D’Angelo’s James River). If the list proves to be popular, we’ll make an updated version next month!

Enjoy.
