Explain how Ed is the bigger act than Adele
Also, if Simon Cowell was the 6th member of Little Mix - who was the 5th?

Ed has sold like double the number of records, well, sold, a lot is based on fake streams, Adeke has across the globe, he had a 15 week no.1, and his old sangs are still just 200 sales short of Adele's new sangs. He is bigger.

QUOTE(December Dong @ Dec 4 2021, 09:56 PM)  Ed has sold like double the number of records, well, sold, a lot is based on fake streams, Adeke has across the globe, he had a 15 week no.1, and his old sangs are still just 200 sales short of Adele's new sangs. He is bigger. Adele's new album sold almost twice as much as Ed's new album in their release weeks. That's the end of the argument right there. You could bring into it that Adele has the biggest selling album of the century, the biggest opening sales of all time, and the current biggest selling album of year... all with different albums. You could mention her World Wide album sales that dwarf Ed, but you don't need to. Ed and Adele both just released an album each, and loads more people got Adele's than Ed's, both in the UK, and Worldwide. It's blatantly obvious Adele is the 'bigger' artist and has been for a decade. This post has been edited by rundmck: 5th December 2021, 01:47 AM |

Even though Adele is the bigger artist, Ed has sold more records overall globally - in part due to being more consistent with releases during the streaming era. She's catching up though with the current release of her album. All her back catalogue has been streaming very strongly for a couple months or so now and of course 30 is doing great numbers too. I think she did something like 700k single sales the week 30 was out in the UK alone. She'll likely catch up and overtake Ed by the end of her current album era.

Yes indeed. If you are one of the most popular artists on the planet, as Ed, or Taylor are, and you release singles or albums at a consistently fast pace, it's basic maths that your overall record sales/streams will increase at a much faster rate than someone who releases one album every 4-6 years. When Adele releases an album however, it vastly outsells every single other artist on a worldwide level (in both speed and volume). It happened with her last 2 albums and it looks to be happening with this one too.
If an artist releases new music & more people in the world buy it than anyone elses new music, then they are the 'biggest' artist in the world. This post has been edited by rundmck: 5th December 2021, 09:37 AM |

Then how do you explain Ed's 14 week no.1 and older sangs challenging Adele at no.1 with her newer song and missing out by like 200 copies every week?

Well you see, you've chosen to ignore the facts about worldwide album consumption in my previous post, and instead focused in on an extremely specific metric. How do I explain Ed's 14 week #1 single in the UK in 2017? What do you want me to explain? It was a very popular song. Does that make him a bigger artist than Adele? No, otherwise by your metric, Drake is a bigger artist in the UK than Ed, because he had a 15 week #1.
Ed's 'sangs' Bad Habits and Shivers challenging Easy on me is because the tracks are very popular and very streamable, great on playlists, party music etc. It's not complicated, as I mentioned, he is one of the biggest artists in the world. However, by no obvious and fair metric is he the 'biggest'. So now that I've answered your question, can you explain to me, given your stance: Adele sells more albums than Ed in the UK, in the US and Worldwide. In fact worldwide she has sold almost 3 times his amount... with fewer albums. She sold more 10 years ago, she sold more 5 years ago, and she sold more in the last 2 weeks.

Citation needed for "missing out by 200 copies every week"
