The Sexiest Album Covers of All Time
This is by no mean a definitive list, but these albums are worth revisiting
In the last few years, Vinyl has experienced a massive resurgence.
It accounted for 9.7 million album sales in 2018, thanks, begrudgingly, to what NPR called the "Hipsterfication of America." While the sales can mainly be attributed to classics like Michael Jackson's Thriller and The Beatles' Abbey Road, it seems fitting to pay homage to the records that gave us Millennial's a "thunder down under" and kickstarted our sexual awakenings.
The racy nature of the album covers below sparked cultural phenomenons. Let's dive into the birth of the "Parental Warning" and revisit the album that turned whipped cream from a mere dessert topping into something much more. These are some of the most risque records in history.
Rihanna, “Unapologetic” (2012)
It wouldn't be a "sexy"-anything list without Rihanna. 2012's Unapologetic came at the tail end of Rihanna's crushing album run, wherein she released a new project every year between 2009 and 2012. Unapologetic, like its predecessors, was a commercial smash, and was led by the singles "Bitch Better Have My Money" (though it never appeared on the actual album) the Sia-assisted "Diamonds," and "Stay." The album went on to win a Grammy for "Best Urban Contemporary" album and was the eighth best selling album of 2012.
