May 4, 201114 yr 6xLIb7KopyY Fantastic performance. :wub: She looks quite different there, or is it just me? The album has gone 8x platinum now! That's outstanding! :o Surely on track to become one of the biggest selling albums of all-time.
May 4, 201114 yr This woman is unstopable :wub: And the performances of Take It All and RITD were brilliant
May 8, 201114 yr Thanks for the videos I must admit, i prefer the studio recording of Rolling in the deep. I have heard several live recordings but i feel there is something missing when she does it live. All her other songs she does just fine. I found the same with Amy Winehouse whenever she does Tears dry on their own. Edited May 8, 201114 yr by David John

May 16, 201114 yr I hope she outsells Leona's Spirit. I love Leona but found that album incredibly overated.
May 18, 201114 yr This is Adele's second week with 3 songs in the Dutch top 40! Last week she had SFTTR at #3, RITD at #10 and SLY at #14 This week she has SFTTR at #3, SLY at #10 and RITD at #14 :wub:
May 26, 201114 yr Adele's 21 logs its ninth week at #1 on The Billboard 200. Next week it will yield to Lady GaGa's Born This Way, which will probably debut with first-week sales in the range of 900K, but I expect 21 to return to the top spot down the line. This is already the longest run at #1 since Taylor Swift's Fearless had 11 weeks on top in 2008-2009. It's the longest run at #1 for an album by a British artist since George Michael's Faith logged 12 weeks on top in 1988. Both of those albums went on to win Grammys for Album of the Year. Adele is front-runner for the honor at next year's Grammys. 21 also holds at #1 for the 16th week in the U.K. That's the longest run at #1 in that country since Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack had 18 consecutive weeks on top in 1978. It's the longest run at #1 by an album featuring a female lead singer since the Carpenters' The Singles 1969-1973 had 17 weeks on top in 1974. (I think just about everybody calls them The Bee Gees and The Carpenters, but I go by the name they put on their albums.) 21 is the first album to log nine or more weeks at #1 on both sides of the Atlantic since Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, which was #1 in the U.S. for 12 weeks in 1995-1996 and #1 in the U.K. for 11 weeks in 1996. (Jagged also won the Grammy for Album of the Year, as did Saturday Night Fever, for that matter.) Why is 21 so huge? It appeals to all ages and both genders. The single, "Rolling in the Deep," is a hit at Top 40, Hot AC and adult contemporary stations. The song has been covered on Glee, American Idol and The Voice. Adele has made the rounds of morning and evening talk shows. At a certain point, momentum takes over. There are one or two albums every year that rise above the rest, where the unspoken message is "if you buy just one album this year, this should be it." (There's a similar dynamic with movies, where a select few movies become "must-sees.") Even people who aren't that plugged to the scene pick up on the message. 21 will probably remain hot through the end of the year, when it will benefit from holiday shopping, the Grammy nominations and year-end critics polls and year-in-music wrap-ups. Shameless Plug: 21 is only the 16th album by female artist to hit #1 since the pop album chart became a weekly feature in March 1956. (I'm including movie soundtracks and original cast albums on which a woman had star billing.) Whitney Houston leads the pack with three albums that stayed on top for nine or more weeks: her first two studio releases and the soundtrack to The Bodyguard. Julie Andrews is in second place with two. She scored with the My Fair Lady cast album and the Mary Poppins soundtrack. Who else is on the list? You'll find out on Thursday when we post this Chart Watch Extra, which truly has something for everybody, whether your tastes run to "I Could Have Danced All Night" or "You Oughta Know".

May 26, 201114 yr I don't know what they don't release the unplugged session as an album that she did. Why not continue to cash in on her success while she's at the top?
June 4, 201114 yr 21 sold 39,000 digital copies this week, which brings its digital total to 842,000. This enables it to pull ahead of Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends as the best-selling album in digital history by an act that hails from outside the U.S.http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_wat...a-goes-on-sale/
June 7, 201114 yr Second time around is still the charm. Without Amazon’s 99-cent promotion, Lady GaGa's Interscope album, Born This Way, dropped a precipitous 85% over its previous week total of 1 million-plus, but it was still enough to land at #1 for a second consecutive week, with 170k in sales. Will it be able hold off hard-charging XL/Columbia U.K. pop diva Adele's 21, #2 with 121k, to grab another week at #1? That's the big question going in to next Tuesday's tally. From HDD
