And RITD is still no1 having sold a whopping 2.7 mill singles. Its also still just the first single from the album! This album just has no ceiling and is already 3mill sales ahead of its nearest rival(Rihanna) this year. Worldwide its actually gaining in momentum.

And she's announced on stage that she has just received a complimentary email from the woman herself...Lady Gaga.

Great to hear, shame RITD never got to no. 1 over here, I prefer it to SLY to be honest.

Nice to see Gaga's showing her support also.

As much as I love Born This Way and prefer it to 21 (I actually don't like 21 much, as amazing as her voice is) I know that even if they both were released on the same week that 21 would outsell.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Yeah, go Adele!

Set Fire To The Rain, Rolling In the Deep & Someone Like You deserve to be HUGE.
Turning Tables & Rumour has it would be fantastic single choices after if she chooses to have more.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I think Adele will outsell Gaga from 2011.

Adele will get like 8.5m
Gaga like 7m

Have to agree. She bores that bejaysus out of me now. It's just not my type of music. I appreciate the voice but I like acts with a huge show, full on aesthetics etc. Can't sink my teeth into Adele's world.

Gaga likes Adele. And tbh sales don't really mean that much. Sure its nice to see really strong sales on a piece of music but quality is better than quantity hehe.

Well done to Adele though, 21 is a good album.

[Smithy]

21 was released 5 months before BTW

Electric Chapel alone owns the entire of 21.

Heart FM are the worst for playing Adele, I gurantee if you listen for half an hour or an hour at any time in the day they'll either play Some Like You or Make You Feel My Love. I liked the songs when they came out but I'm just bored of them now tbh

I don't need to, dear

this battles won. Gaga's on the floor in a pool of blood, glitter and fake hair extensions.

Look at Adeles performance above. Who needs fancy costumes for a great live show when you can just sing along like that?

You haven't even listened to Born This Way.

And if you actually bothered to watch Gaga last Sunday on Radio 1's Big Weekend, you'd of seen when she sung at the piano, her outfit wasn't the most eye catching. It was pretty simple by her standards. And when Gaga sings live its perfectly easy to sing along.

But whatevs, you obviously hate her guts and never will change your mind about Gaga. If you're gonna be like that, so be it.

[King Gizzard]

Adele obviously not even a question

I don't hate her guts and actually agree that she could keep it simple like Adele if she wanted.

I was just making the point that all that extra stuff isnt necessary to make an amazing live show. Fans just want to enjoy the music and sing along. Those big costume, choreographed shows can lack intimacy and waiting for the costume/stage changes can be very tedious and ruin momentum.

Adele actually has a great personality and interacts with her fans in a way an aloof artist like Gaga never could. Its a question of relating. Who the hell relates to Gaga?

She emerged from a coffin pregnant, that's pretty eye catching

[King Gizzard]

I think if you were to ask this to a wider audience of all ages, Adele would win hands down everytime

[Smithy]

Nate did you even read the question

I agree. Its young kids who seem to swallow the whole Gaga schtick most. Everybody else just roles their eyes and thinks "seen this all before, love".

[King Gizzard]

Oh **** sorry thought it was just general

Point still semi remains though..wider audience would still go out and buy Adeles album because it isn't focused at the younger generation specifically

But then again its the young generation who are more likely to listen to music..

I don't really think the costume changes ruin momentum. I went to the Monster Ball and whenever she went to change clothes there was always an interlude to keep you entertained and they never really lasted much longer than 2 minutes.

Gaga can interact with her fans though. She loves talking to her fans and stuff.
