I am very happy this is happening to Adele, she is such a humble and talented artist and I rather see her breaking records than stuff like Crazy Frog :lol:

 

The album is wonderful, I love every single track but "Sweetest devotion" that I find hard to get into.

The bonus tracks are quite lifeless aren't they :(

I found Sweetest Devotion took a few listens to get into. Not a fan of how Angelo features on it either.

Reason they are bonus tracks :kink:

This has just short of 160k to go before Friday to outsell Oasis' first week sales for Be Here Now :o Bloody insane <3

 

She hasn't technically beaten Oasis though. She sold 615,000 up to midnight last night. Oasis' first week sales were just three days sales. So she's quite behind really.

The vast majority of this website already knows Oasis' first chart week were made of three days sales now. :P The 160k that she's short of takes into account the full 7 days of availability Oasis had.

Oasis sold 813k in 7 days so it will be tight and with Tuesday been the worst sales day of the week she might not beat it.

But the official charts are counting the 3 days as the first week for the record, So Adele only needs to sell over 696k and she's already sold 615k, To break the record. Oasis might of sold 800k in 7 days but only 3 of them days counted as the first week did it not?

Then the record is an uneven playing field.

It's fair to count the three days for Oasis I think, we're talking about chart weeks and Oasis only have themselves to blame for releasing midweek.

I believe that 813k figure has been revised down since it was originally reported (and so has the 696k figure for the first 3 days). Adele seems on course to end up around or not far off 800k regardless.

'Water Under the Bridge' performance on Jimmy Fallon!

 

 

She also played one of his famous games, 'Box Of Lies' (she wanted to do "Lip Sync Battle" though - It's a shame they didn't do that with her!):

 

 

Also, she's impatiently waiting for new Rihanna and Frank Ocean! (She also states she sees herself as more of a "record artist" and not really about the singles!)

 

Water Under The Bridge :wub: So glad we've got a performance of that now. It's easily my favourite on the album after Hello.

Bought the album yesterday and literally everyone in HMV had a copy in their hands!

 

Favourites so far 'Hello', 'Send My Love', 'I Miss You', 'When We Were Young', 'Million Years Ago' and 'All I Ask'. I thought in the latter she sang "hold me like I'm more than just a breath" which sounds like a much better lyrics than "hold me like I'm more than just a friend". But that's a minor niggle! :P 'River Lea' is the one that isn't impacting on me and I don't think 'Sweetest Devotion' works as album closer - that should have gone to 'All I Ask' easily.

 

The verses to 'Million Years Ago' sounds like 'Atticus' by The Noisettes.

681k sold so far, Sold 66k yesterday apparently, Looks likely to sell 800k by Friday just insane! I thought she would sell 500k maybe 600k with how terrible sales are in UK that seemed HUGE well not seemed it is huge haha but no probably 800k plus :lol:

just announced a tour

 

Adele and Rihanna in the same yr help me

On 25's opening day, it sold more in 2 hours than the average total of number one albums this year sold in a week.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the TOUR yet?!

 

Is anyone going to attempt to try and purchase tickets? UK advanced tickets go on sale at 9am, Tuesday 1st Dec.

I was thinking of getting tickets, but I don't think I'll have the money in time (they're most probably going to sell out in the first hour of going on sale or even quicker!).

I have a feeling that they are going to be really heavily priced...

Myself, my friend from and my best friend from back home are hoping to get tickets. I think they'll be at least £70 MINIMUM. I loved the tour announcement video too, she really is adorable :wub:
