Q3, what makes you think a Tedder co-write will make the album? We haven't heard a peep about that collab since very early on in the process. I think the Sam Sparrow collab seems more likely. And we still don't know for sure if he even worked with Max Martin.
Adam has worked with so many collaborators that it is really hard to figure out what is going to be on the album.
It seems likely that these three tracks are on the album:
Benny Blanco, Ricco & Co.
Bonnie McKee, Josh Abraham, and Oliver Goldstein
Pharrell Williams
I think that OOL is likely to make the album. (BC Jean and Rune Westberg)
We know Adam did a co-write with Tedder -- and Tedder usually gets a 1 track guarantee for an album. Adam could be an exception.
Claude Kelly and Emanuel Kiriakou have a track that was recorded. It appears to be a co-write with Adam.
Max Martin & Shellback - They wrote and produced Adam's two biggest singles. I would be surprised if RCA did not insist on a WWFM follow-up, Max Martin & Co would certainly be willing to write/produce another song for Adam, and Adam said he planned to work with them again. [IIHY vocals were recorded at Westlake Studios in LA, Adam was back at Westlake Studios a few times this Spring and Summer so could have been recorded there,]
A lot of other collaborators have tweeted about working with Adam, including:
Greg Wells
Camilla Grey
Alisan Porter, Joshua Bartholomew and Isley Juber
Greg Kurstin
Brett McLaughlin, Ferras, Lauren Christy, and Reo! Beats
Sia
Nikka Costa
Toby Gad
Zac Maloy (worked with Runn Westberg and Adam)
And I am only up to April 2011 on the other collaborators list.....
In other words, either this is going to be a 48 track triple album OR some big name collaborators did not make the album. So, in answer to the Ryan Tedder question -- he might not have gotten a track on the album.
