    Each of these artists is pretty famous if I must say so - and they're releasing albums soon. Small issue: both are releasing albums on the same day, and each one has a streak of #1 albums that they don't want to break. So one of these two amazing artists are going to be disappointed the week after their albums are released. B.o.B - who previously had a #1 album in 2010 is releasing his "Strange Clouds" album on May 1st, and it has already leaked online in its entirety by B.o.B himself on April 26th, Carrie's album - "Blown Away" - leaked on the 25th.

    WHICH ALBUM DO YOU THINK WILL DEBUT AT #1 ON THE BILLBOARD/ITUNES/ETC.?

    "Carrie Underwood" trends higher than "B.o.B" on Google Trends, but "Strange Clouds" trends trends higher than "Blown Away".

    B.o.B has had a top 10 single already with his album - "Strange Clouds" which peaked at #7. And he currently has a song in the top 20 - "So Good". So Good has pretty huge airplay right now. B.o.B solely produced 2 of the tracks on his album & co-produced 3 more. He also has production from huge hitmakers like Dr. Luke, iSHi, Alex Da Kid, and Ryan Tedder. B.o.B wrote or co-wrote every single song on his album, and features some huge names like T.I., Taylor Swift (his song with her is described as "The song of 2012 with a feature from someone who never features"), Ryan Tedder, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and the actor Morgan Freeman. B.o.B's album has 15 songs - the deluxe Target edition has 20 songs and the deluxe iTunes has 3 more - including a feature by Andre 3000. B.o.B sings, raps, produces, and plays multiple instruments on this album. (He even has a guitar solo in one song - "Circles")

    Carrie Underwood is generally considered to be better at selling albums, and as she has singing as her main focus as B.o.B's is rapping - she appeals to a larger audience. Carrie has had a top 20 song with mild airplay from this album so far - "Good Girl". She produced absolutely nothing from her album, and the entire production was handled by Mark Bright. Carrie doesn't feature anybody on her album - but does have quite a few songwriters helping her out - including Ryan Tedder, who is also on the B.o.B album. She only co-wrote 8 of the 14 songs on the album. She wrote none of the songs solo. Her album has 14 tracks on it, no deluxe edition has been announced to debut right away. Carrie sings, plays piano, & plays guitar on this album. She's a country-pop artist while B.o.B crosses nearly all genres. Bobby Ray's album, however, is heavily pop-rap.

    Carrie has been singing since 2005 (when she was 22), B.o.B has been rapping since 2002 (when he was 14 years old) and professionally rapping, singing, and producing since 2007 (when he was 18). Previously, B.o.B has released one album (it went to #1) and Carrie has released 3 albums (which all went to #1).

    What do you think will debut at #1 - if something like Tuskegee or 21 doesn't snag it?
