March 10, 201213 yr I'm so thick- "Gold" by Abba- released in 1992 sold a million in 1999 :D Good call! Gold would definitely hold that record then. Although perhaps 19 with regard to studio albums. Interesting.
March 16, 201213 yr OK guys, so I thought I would try to put the list of Adele's UK chart records in an as easy to read system as possible (as there are a lot of records). Obviously there are loads of other "round the world" records, but this is just the UK ones. Everything relates to the album 21 unless stated. There may well be additions. There may be the odd inaccuracy. I hope not, but there were one or two I couldn't be sure of. Plus there are 2 "soon to be achieved" records. If you do think something should be added, or is incorrect, feel free to say- in a nice way! P.S. Spicefunk, feel free to incorporate this into your original post if you like ;) ADELE UK RECORDS FROM THE 21 ERA Biggest selling album: - ever by a female - ever by a solo artist (in a few weeks!) - ever in digital sales - of 21st century Most weeks at no.1: - by a female (21 wks) - by a solo artist (21 wks) - by UK female in career (22 wks) - consecutively by a female artist (11 wks) Biggest calendar year sales: - one album (21, 2011, 3.8 million) - all albums (2011, 5.0 million, ~5.2 if including LATRAH) Most consecutive: - top 10 weeks by female artist or solo artist - weeks over 100k (12 wks) - weeks over 20k (52 wks) Most total weeks: - over 100k (14) - over 20k (57 up to 18/03/2012) - in top 10 (by UK female.

March 16, 201213 yr She is the fattest singer to have a big{HAHA GET IT} selling album. That was not necessary.
March 17, 201213 yr Twas a joke i love her Adeal with it A) it wasn't funny, don't be proud of it. B) I presume the humour is meant to rest on the fact that 'fattest' is spelled a bit like 'fastest'. As a play on words, it's rubbish. As a statement of fact, it's incorrect. Adele is around average BMI for a UK female, and there have been many larger females to have big selling albums. C) if you love her, it would be nice to learn to spell her name with the correct letters, in the correct order.
March 17, 201213 yr Srsy i really do love her and the joke was aDEAL ok. Wow, that's even worse than your first attempt. It doesn't work visually or aurally. Ok, we'll move on ;)
