Was checking this out on wiki earlier too.

All those albums are brilliant.

Why sad?

Why sad?

Because there is a list of greats and then you have Adele plonked there

Yeah but in 10/20 years we'll look back and say she's a legend

Well, all depends if she keeps delivering.

Marc
28-02-2012, 05:45 PM
True. And she'll most likely do so

Well if she doesn't your head be on it :idc:

I love her and everything but '21' would not be anywhere near my list of top 10 albums of all time, so that's why 'sad' :tongue:

Oh I know I know Shaun'acus ive seen your top 50 :hugesmile:

They are all great albums, but only numbers 1,2 and 7 would be anywhere near my top ten.

Sgt Peppers should be number one.

Shaun
28-02-2012, 06:57 PM
it's technically #1 since greatest hits aren't real albums :hugesmile:

I'm not Adele's biggest fan but I don't get all the hate she gets (assumably because she's everywhere and popular)..I can still see she's an incredibly talented person and will be one of the modern day greats..proud she's British really.

Not that any of you are the haters but I had nowhere else to say it

She has a brilliant voice, just find her extremely boring.

I don't even like any of those albums :bored:
The only reason Gaga and Madonna etc are not on there is because those albums are from the days when no one knew how how to download illegally, or maybe didnt even have computers :s I dont even know when computers were invented, I always assumed it was the early 90's but I think that's wrong :joker:

Yeah someplace, I don't know where for sure, perhaps Shaun could help you find it.

It always amazes me how little is actually sold. 3 - 6 million is a lot, but if you think how many people are in our country, it seems such a small figure.

Probably alot more have illegally downloaded

It feels weirded that only thousands will get you into singles charts

Yeah I always find that odd. Was it Eric Prydz that once climbed back up to #1 by selling just over 20,000 copies?
