Data Insight
A debut that is really a singles collection: most of these tracks had already been released and charted before the album existed. The credits show the writing team that carries the next five records already in place, and the guest vocalists (Noah Cyrus, Au/Ra, Sofia Carson, K-391) change from track to track while the writers behind them do not.
Different World is Alan Walker's debut studio album, released on 14 December 2018 through MER Musikk and Sony Music. Fifteen tracks collecting four years of singles, including 'Faded', 'Alone', 'All Falls Down' and 'Darkside'. It reached number 1 in Norway and Finland and number 2 on the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
