I think you'll give Harry a heart attack

I was worried about that when posting

Congratulations to Adele.

Adele is celebrating an astonishing chart double, holding the top spot in both the singles and album charts - the first act since The Beatles to do so.

The singer-songwriter's latest tune, Someone Like You, which she sang live at the Brits, moved up from 47 to take the top singles position.

She also held on to the number one slot for a fourth week with her second album 21.

Her debut album 19 moved up two places from six to four while her other single, Rolling In The Deep, climbed from five to four.

Adele is the first living artist to achieve the feat of two top five hits in both charts at the same time since The Beatles.

In January 1964 the group's singles, I Want To Hold Your Hand and She Loves You, were numbers two and five and their albums With The Beatles and Please, Please Me were numbers one and two.

Congratulations to Adele, she deserves it:).

A top 3 position for Gaga isn't bad either despite how much BTW divides opinion...

roflmao Smithy

:bigsmile:

why is each image posted twice :conf2:

Coz she's that big a rip off

LOL. fair enough :p

Everybody knows Madonna went through a phase where she paid homage to Marilyn. It was hardly a secret! Or subtle.

And you're comparing apples and oranges because Marilyn was essentially a film star so musically there was no copying. Which is the essential difference.

Madonna has been through thousands of image changes and has paid homage to many famous screen goddesses of the past. Laughable how youre all acting like its some kind of revelation! Piss easy to dig up a few of her thousands of pictures and compare them as if they were some subtle attempt to steal other artists work.

Please learn the difference between a deliberate homage photoshoot and stealing somebodies music without crediting them.

Madonna idolised Marilyn and those photos are a very direct and obvious tribute to a screen legend no longer around. Nobody ever pretended otherwise. Musically and personality wise they are total opposites. Those few photo sessions are certainly not any great part of her success.

And Cub was right to say that Madonna never ripped off Marilyn musically. So I really don't get why you're being hi-fived for finding a few easy to find photo's of Madonna recreating a few of Marilyns iconic looks!

Madonna has always been totally upfront about her heroines and influences. Just as she's always been supportive of female artists who have been inspired by her(remember the Britney/Kylie t-shirts?). Madonna is probably the last person to give a sh!t about Gaga copying her.

Congratulations to Adele for getting her first ever number one in America with Rolling In the Deep. Really pleased that the Americans have taken to her so much in recent months. She's also still #1 on the album chart over there with 21.

Posting this here because there's not an official thread for her and this is the longest thread on her.

Bit sick of her atm, but congratz.

How many weeks was it in the chart?

18 weeks, so it's taken a good while to get there.

Thats brilliant, im delighted she's gotten the double over there

im surprised someone like you hasn't been to much of a hit yet

It hasn't gotten airplay yet over there, when it does, I'm sure it'll be another big hit for her.

LOL I remember when it was first released there. It didnt start off as great as I expected. But its just gradually worked its way up there going up and down along the way. I think thats the sign of a song thats truly strong and earns its way on pure merit.

Someone like you hasnt been released worldwide. It was only rushed out here because of the Brits.

i found a boy should be next single :lovedup:

Has that Set Fire To The Rain done well?

not been released yet

oh it was released in the Netherlands in feb O_O

got to #1 :amazed:

Oh right D: I prefer the live version I saw on Graham Norton I think

She performed it Graham Norton last week and it peaked at like #35, not surprising really considering the album sold so well

She's done for the summer now.... she said on GN thats she has 3 months off so I dunno if there'll be more singles....

Adele's Improved Like Mad !!!
 

her early stuff wasnt all that i did like hometown but her other songs like chasing pavements & feel my love i didnt think much to .

but her late stuff is amazing and so's her voice , i love rolling in the deep and some one like you infact those two are prob her best songs imo :D

:lovedup:

can you please use the threads on artists, it's annoying to have to merge them

Adele's 'Someone Like You' has become the first song to sell more than a million copies in the UK this decade, the Official Charts Company has revealed.

The track spent four weeks at number one in February before returning to the top of the chart for another week in March.

The song's popularity surged after the singer-songwriter's performance at the Brit Awards in February this year.

Since 2000, only 16 singles have reached the million sales mark. The last singles to reach this were Lady GaGa's 'Poker Face' and 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas, both released in 2009.

Adele's latest album 21 has spent 16 weeks at the top of the Official Albums Chart. It has so far sold 2.6 million copies. Her first album, 19, has also doubled its sales this year, selling 800,000 copies.

Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: "With an almost certain Mercury Music Prize nomination and 21's first Christmas season to come, I suspect her record-breaking antics are not over yet."

:worship:

Well done to her but Someone Like You is pretty annoying now lol
