who will have the bigger selling album this year?

Adele is setting a huge target at the moment. Her album 21 is currently number one in over a dozen countries itunes charts after 3 months. Just the UK & US sales alone are already around 3.3 million so she must be set for 10 million total worldwide at least by the end of the year.

Gaga will get off to a flying start probably but I think her appeal is definitely on the wane judging by the poor sales of Judas.

but which album will sell more in 2011?

VOTE NOW

Probably GaGa but I voted Adele because I prefer her.

I disagree. Many artists who have had huge selling albums then have a (relative)flop.

And Adeles album is showing no signs of weakening. And Set fire to the rain hasn't even been released yet!

Iceman · 21-04-2011, 03:11 PM

Adele but I reckon it'll be close

Niall · 21-04-2011, 03:14 PM

I think Gaga will get it in the long run. Some of the tracks from the new album sound massive and I think they'll have a huge appeal. Marry The Night and Edge of Glory will probably be huge singles.

Americano will probably go far too, I remember reading somewhere that its gonna finish the Paparazzi/Telephone video story. So that'll probably get loads of attention.

yeah we keep hearing about how, like, AMAZING certain tracks are. Then they come out and we're like is that it?Really? Sorry but I think that Gaga sound has exhausted itself. If you're gonna proclaim yourself to be the future then you can't keep sh!tting out the same sound.

This, Gaga fans should wait until the songs are actually released instead of presuming them to be amazing and already proclaiming that they'll be massive

I don't think she's exhausted herself really. Her new stuff isn't really the same as her old stuff. Judas (bar the chorus perhaps) has a pretty different sound in comparison to her past singles. She is altering her style. :/

And I know what you mean about the whole hype of the music and then the singles being seen as let downs but (and I know this is gonna sound silly) I think she's saving the best music from the album until after its released.

(I still wish she'd change the album's horrid cover though

Adele will sell more, after the initial release of GaGa's album the hype will die down, whereas Adele's is still selling very strongly worldwide.

Stu · 21-04-2011, 03:21 PM

The one that's not based on gimmickery.

Vicky. · 21-04-2011, 03:24 PM

Gaga seems to be going a bit downhill, while Adele is getting more popular.

While Gaga still has her diehard fans (who, lets be honest...if she took a **** and recorded it they would still say it was amazing) Adele will have more 'casual' listeners...

Shaun · 21-04-2011, 03:25 PM

Gaga won't come close to 2m this year. Maybe in a couple of years when it's on sale in HMV.

Stacey. · 21-04-2011, 03:35 PM

GaGa

niall you havent heard them

Jordan. · 21-04-2011, 03:37 PM

Gaga. You can't rule her out just because her songs are doing **** in the UK.

I know but the reviews that keep coming out about them are making them sound amazing, so I'm just being optimistic.

and elsewhere. Even in US itunes she's already slipped to #3 and only entered billboard at #10. In other big markets like Germany its also dropping out of the top 10 on itunes. This is all significant because this is FRESH material. Not even heard before.

Adele's singles from the album aren't exactly charting better than Gaga she is only really doing well here with them in the UK. I don't think because Gaga's recent single aren't doing well that means her Album wont.

She isn't helping herself in the UK by releasing her singles on a friday afternoon because all her fans rush to get it, then it dies off because she isn't promoting it or releasing a video for weeks after so she pretty much goes under the radar to everyone else who might buy the song. Most number ones these days are whatever is getting played every five minutes on the music channels.

Not to mention the fact that BTW actually spent 5 weeks at number 1 in the U.S so she isn't exactly doing bad tbh. :/

erm you may wanna check how big Rolling in the deep has been worldwide. Her biggest hit ever. Its even just moved to number one on US itunes.

anyways, she's not even a singles artist. And RITD is really the only track thats been widely released worldwide(although Set fire has already been number one in Holland due to public demand). I fully expect more global hits to come from the album.

Yeah number 1 in six countries I think, and reached top 10 in most others

For her debut single it'd didn't do that well when compared to BTW, it got a few number #1's, BTW went number #1 worldwide (apart from the few places where it still manged top 10) and sold god knows how much. *is sure Smithy will come later and tell us*

I've listened to Adele's album and she has definetely put her best songs out first. From what i've heard from Gaga's album she still has some strong songs left which will definetely be top 10 material.

Z · 21-04-2011, 03:58 PM

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that Lady Gaga's releasing crap tracks and saving the good ones for the album, Niall. Lady Gaga has a lot of die hard fans, so I imagine it'll still sell shed loads of copies, but casual listeners aren't going to be persuaded to go buy it based on the two weak singles she's put out so far.
