3. Lots of people will buy Lana Del Rey’s debut album, including your Dad.

4. A band you loved in your youth will re-form and not be anywhere near as good as you remembered, thus shitting over all the positive nostalgia you previously had of them.

5. Daft Punk will play live again, though probably not where you live.

8. Apple will release a new music-centred product which will make them a lot of money, irrespective of its quality of necessity.
