It would have had a much better peak if they had released it after Chasing Pavements when it was being cherry picked like mad, and also made a proper video for it! I mean, her albums sell millions! You would think they could have afforded to put together a decent video for it :lol:

 

HTG is my favourite music video from her. So beautiful. Infact, its actually my favourite song from here all together.

"I Can't Make You Love Me" live from the iTunes festival enters the official chart at #53 this week, giving Adele a 7th top 100 hit from the 21 era (I know it's not on the album, but whatever :P)

21 reaches a new all-time low of #33, I don't think it'll go much lower (it'll definitely stay top 40) until Christmas and New Year has gone... "Skyfall"'s back up to #5 though, due to the film's release! :D

Hi Theo, I've been researching Adele's single sales, based on verified information and estimations from weekly itunes performance, and I have put together the following:

 

Adele UK single sales (up to 17/11/12)

 

1. Someone like you ~1,417,000

2. Rolling in the deep ~938,000

3. Make you feel my love ~843,000

4. Set fire to the rain ~613,000

5. Chasing pavements ~423,000

6. Skyfall (Bond theme) 420,258

7. Hometown glory ~160,000

8. Turning tables ~101,000

9. Rumour has it ~89,000

10. Cold shoulder ~73,000

11. I can't make you love me ~29,000

12. One and only ~23,000

 

Total of Charting singles = ~5.13 million

 

Obviously there are also numerous sales of individual album tracks that have never charted in the top 100, for example, "Don't you remember" regularly appears in the itunes top 1000, and will have sold many thousands of copies itself. The combined sales of non-charting album tracks would make this total that bit higher.

 

Some interesting points:

 

- "Skyfall" is now (22/11/12) Adele's 5th biggest selling single ever, overtaking "Chasing Pavements"

 

- "Make You Feel My Love" this week enters the UK's top 200 selling singles of all time (as #200)

 

- Adele is now in the top 60 singles artists of all time.

 

- Adele is 13th in the list of all time female singles artists

 

- Adele is the 2nd biggest selling singles artist of the decade so far.

XL sure do have enough money to keep their certifications up to date! :P I think only Rolling in the Deep needs to be updated (singles wise) - currently Gold but should be Platinum. Actually, the same may go for Someone Like You (it might still be Platinum when it should actually be double).

UK Albums

135. (NE) Adele - 23: Her Story

 

:unsure:

 

OMG did that ACTUALLY chart. :D

 

It's a cheap unofficial album put together by a random tiny label, not an official release.

 

EDIT: In fact it's not even a collection of songs, it's just a bunch of random interviews :lol:

 

Wish it made the top 100.

Is there anyone on the forum that knows the individual full totals for Adele's singles?

Also what is the total UK sales for 19?

Merged with the chart/sales thread. All of the latest known/given sales are in the OP.

21 is at its lowest position to-date, #74, and could possibly exit the top 75 soon after 124 consecutive weeks inside! :o
