Madonna, Damon Albarn, Gary Barlow and more let us all down...

 

  • Madonna - MDNA: It was never going to be easy for poor old Madonna (well she''s not poor) but coming back with an album so clearly jumping on the dubstep bandwagon was as predictable as it was tiresome.

Six months into the year and it's fair to say that 2012 has handed us its fair share of musical turkeys already.

Sure, there's been lots of good stuff too - check out our Best Albums of 2012 gallery - but with Madonna, The Ting Tings, The Enemy and Gary Barlow all belching out long players that range from the underwhelming to the all-out duds there has been plenty to cancel out all of the good too.

With a combination of albums that are either straight up terrible and those we expected more from, take a look at the 20 Worst Albums of 2012 - so far!
