It makes no sense surely everybody has the album by now? LOL

Everyone always says that but

UK population: 62 million
21 UK sales: 4 million

US population: 313 million
21 US sales: 9 million

Still a lot of people who haven't bought it. In this day and age though those figures are hugely impressive.

I haven't bought a copy and I still intend to.

ITS NOT EVEN THAT GOOD FFS SDNFGVADFxcxdv

:worship:

She can do noughting wrong

:o

That's actually amazing

:o

That's actually amazing

Good on her! She's one of the more talented female singers on the scene atm, she deserves the success.

:love: to Adele...

but I think the song's a bit... underwhelming :(

Amazing feat. Would not say it was a fantastic track but it's still pretty good. I think maybe though we have come to expect a lot from her (myself included) due to her excellent previous work. I think she could warble over someone banging on pots and pans though and some people would buy it. Anything will sell with her name attached to it. She has become a brand in her own right. Well done to her. I am sure her record company will be celebrating tonight.

I really like the song! Could use an Azealia verse to liven it up a bit but its still good :p

:worship:

I think it's a good Bond theme tune, it's the first in a few to actually stay true to the Bond sound

The last two need to be forgotten tbh

chris cornell's > this

A proper bond song again, at last

What an achievement....

They reckon she'll make a comeback and sing Skyfall as part of the Bond celebrations

singing for the first time in a few months isn't a comeback f/

:laugh:
