21 Debuts at #1 with 353,129 sales. 19 is at 16 too with 17,451 sold. :) WHOA. Those sales are just incredible! :o :o :o HDD numbers are usually fairly close to the actual Soundscan numbers, it seems.

Damnit.... our hit-making American artists can't even debut with those numbers!

It is mighty refreshing to see that the general public will still pay for great talent and a great quality recording in 2011 without the need for massive radio audience impressions !

That is beyond amazing for Adele. I'm so glad people are buying this masterpiece. I hope word gets out and spreads and this continues to sell consistently well.

It's nice to know her label really believed in her and this project and shipped out enough copies upfront.

Her talent is what earned her this success. Record labels need to pay attention. There are indeed many American superstars that do not come close to these numbers with radio airplay and hit singles. She has a freshness about her and her music.

Was this hard back so popular during her first album era? As I recall it, she was a cut-rate Amy Winehouse, but clearly - after reviewing the sales, awards & hoopla - I was mistaken. The 21 buzz is so sonorous, I may have to give Nell Carter a second listen, but in the meantime, this remix of "Rollin' On The River" stays in my head. #xx

So this week Rolling In The Deep went Gold!! 19 is Close to going platinum and SLY sold quite well! Hopefully 19 will stick around the top 50 for a while so I can track its sales. It should go platinum within a few of months

But...that aside, what is a hard back ??? The remix is OK. I like how the background vocals are isolated so I can actually understand them, because they aren't in the booklet.

*gagging* at that thing. In other news, does anyone know what Adele's second single will be? It's obviously "Someone Like You" in the UK, and I believe we heard a while ago that it would be "Set Fire to the the Rain" here. Either way, it will be a while, since "Rolling in the Deep" is just now finally getting sent to Pop radio.

Plus it's picking up on Alt :) I think "Rumour Has It" would make a nice single in the US at some point. Possibly single #3. IMO the US release Should go.... 1. Rolling In The Deep 2. Set Fire To The Rain 3. Rumour Has It 4. Someone Like You Someone Like You will most probably sell quite nicely as a non-single, selling the album a bit anyway. So leaving it until last would be a good idea IMO.

Hmm...good to know. Set Fire To The Rain is actually one of my least favorites on the album. While technically, there is not a bad song on the album, that song, other than her vocals, doesn't completely gel for me. I did see it in a commercial recently. That independent store I mentioned before, where I bought this, was bumping the album the other day when I went to buy Lykke Li. I couldn't help but rock out during Rumour Has It.

In case anyone can not see it there, here is a youtube embed. Her personality reminds me so much of Kelly Clarkson:
