:love: only one song? :(

Yes, as far as I'm aware.

Ew rumor has it is my least fave from the album

I love Rumour Has It - It is my best non single from the album :)

Billboard

Adele's "Someone Like You" soars 34-19 on the Hot 100 with gains in sales (95,000 downloads, up 68%) and radio play (29 million, up 41%).

but next weeks chart will see the full impact of the vma's and SLY could well soar to no1. It's already slaying US itunes.

Where's the album gonna be? I know Lil Wayne is gonna do extremely well and so is The Game I think....

The game is set for no1 with 98,000 this week.
But next week.....wow. Lil wayne is set for a monstrous 900k plus opening!

Oh nevermind The game didnt manage 100K :( I wouldnt mind its his best album since his debut :bawling:

And no cheating with a discount album either :o

It's interesting that Adele's 21 is by far the biggest selling album in US, UK and France this year. But the sales are disproportionate;

US 3.15 million
UK 2.93 million
France 0.3 million

Its a good barometer of how poor some countries record sales are. Adele is no1 in France with just 16,000 this week. Of course, its all relative but it just shows that the UK is a huge market for sales; similar sales to the US but just 20% of the population size.

If you look at Ireland you really dont need much. Jedward Debuted here at number 1 (obviously more kids will but it here than in england) I honestly ouldnt tell you how much you'd need to top our charts. but your point is interesting and I will discuss it tomorrow but for now im off to sleep :tongue:

I just wonder what performing these songs all the time does to her :conf2: if they're as emotionally-fuelled as they're supposed to be then it must be painful having to relive a breakup pretty much every night.

her voice is obviously suffering with all the performing this year. Plus I suspect she's smoking a lot more with all the stress and pressure of doing shows and publicity. She is very shy and anxious by nature.

On another note;

not only is she doing JR but on saturdays XF there's some Scottish bint singing SLY which apparently brought the judges to tears. So yeah, expect a sales jump next week.

haha just as SLY was dropping in the charts it'll get a boost :laugh:

Adele and Katy B have been confirmed to play the Mercury Prize ceremony in London next week.

The singers will join a bill which includes performances from all 12 of this year's nominees, marking a first for the Mercury Prize ceremony since its inception in 1992.

Tinie Tempah, Elbow, Everything Everything, Anna Calvi, Ghostpoet, Gwilym Simcock, James Blake, Metronomy, PJ Harvey and King Creosote & Jon Hopkins will also perform.

Adele performing on The Today Show

The BBC will be providing extensive coverage of the September 6 event across its television, radio and online formats.

BBC Two and the BBC HD channel will broadcast the ceremony from 10pm, while 6 Music will be live from the event from 8pm.

21 sold 82,918 units in the States this week, up 3% from last week. I'm sure it will get over 100,000 next week too after the VMAs. Can't wait to see the end of year total for this album.

Edited the title earlier Zippy :blush:

that's fine

Im not used to updating thread titles anyway so youre probably more on the ball.

So Adele has 3 songs in the best song category :laugh:

so is Turning Tables definitely the next single? That's one of my favourites. Wish she'd release videos even if she isn't in it just because I wanna hear them on the music channels. It's like she's not doing videos cos she doesn't have to :laugh:

Amazing, she deserves the top selling album of the year, even though there are a few albums released this year that I prefer. :p

Yes it is. She doesn't need to because her songs do well with just airplay. Kinda lazy though not to make music videos imo.

I know she doesn't actually need to but I really wish she did. Amazing that she doesn't have to anyway.

-adds to my iTunes A-List-

Could be good
