But there is a reason why Adele and Ed are so popular:

 

People can relate to them

 

I guess you mean "relate to their songs" because I don't think many people relate to a global diva with a powerful voice. :lol:

 

One of the reasons why they sell that much is because they tick all the boxes including the most important criteria : appeal to all generations. Adele and Ed can sell albums to kids, teenagers, young men and women and even older people. That's why they so easily sell millions. Our pop favourites could never simply bcause they don't appeal to such a broad audience.

I think a lot of Adele's appeal is people see her as one of them, the girl next door who swears a little too much and lives a simple life.

She is a global star but she's also just a normal woman compared to a lot of big stars. I think for her and Ed that does factor into their success! She's not an unattainable diva, she's a normal girl from London who gets starstruck like we do and is a bit loud and excitable :lol: She just happens to be a huge star too.
