Michael Jackson's forthcoming, posthumous record Xscape is already tipped to be the biggest selling album of 2014.
Bookmakers William Hill are offering odds of 1/4 that the LP, scheduled for release on May 13, will become the biggest selling record of the year, and odds of 1/10 that it will shift a million copies by the end of 2014.
"This will undoubtedly be the most hotly anticipated release of the year and we fully expect it to be the biggest selling album of 2014," said William Hill's Joe Crilly.
Watch the trailer for Xscape below:
Xscape combines original Jackson material with a "fresh sound" - courtesy of producer Timbaland - with Epic Records' LA Reid granting access to four decades of Jackson's vocal material.
Xscape is the first posthumous release from Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, since 2010's Michael, which was widely panned by critics and even faced allegations from fans and the Jackson family an impersonator had been drafted in to record some of the vocals.
Xscape will be released May 13.
