It is amazing to think how many albums she has sold off of 1 single. Other artists are releasing at least 2 singles before their album even drops and struggling to pass 1 million. She taps into so many different demographics and apparently they like to actually BUY albums. Loving it. Can't wait for her on DWTS any moment now.

It's too bad she was under the weather. They said she was scheduled to perform "Natural Woman" too! Her performance of RITD wasn't the best ever, but it was still very good. I'd love to see it take back #1 on iTunes from Gaga.

Yup, I was right. She is losing weight. Look at her waist. She looked tired but she sounded amazing as usual.

You can tell she was exhausted. She looked and sounded lovely though.

I think you could tell a difference. Her vocals didn't quite match a few of her past performances, but that's okay. I agree that she was still better than most other singers out there.

Yeah, Adele definitely sounded a bit strained compared to some of her best live vocals. No problem. Most people would kill to sound like Adele slightly under the weather.

She deserves that #1 single, congrats to her. She sounded great to me. She's doing so well, because her music speaks for itself, radio has to get diverse again, it's too much of the same thing. Her music doesn't sound like anybody elses.

Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' Tops Hot 100by Gary Trust, N.YAdele ascends to her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (May 12) on Billboard.com, as "Rolling in the Deep" rises 2-1. The song concurrently reaches the summit on Digital Songs (2-1), despite a 2% decline to 294,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Deep" garners the Hot 100's Airplay Gainer award for a second consecutive week, rising 7-3 on Radio Songs (99 million in audience, up 28%, according to Nielsen BDS). The soulful song's coronation marks a female artist's first Hot 100 No. 1 since Ke$ha's debut single "TiK ToK" began a nine-week reign the week of Jan. 2, 2010. Prior to "Deep," Adele had charted solely with the No. 21-peaking "Chasing Pavements," from her debut album "19," in 2009. (Following the bow of "Deep" on the Dec. 25, 2010, Hot 100, Adele has added the album cuts "Someone Like You" (No. 65), "Set Fire to the Rain" (No. 88) and "Turning Tables" (No. 63), all from her sophomore set "21," which commands the Billboard 200 for a seventh frame; Adele is the first female artist to top the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously since Ke$ha ("TiK ToK," "Animal," respectively) the week of Jan. 23, 2010). Having reached No. 21 last week on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart (this week dipping to No. 22), "Deep" is the highest-peaking Alternative hit by a solo female artist to top the Hot 100 since Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" spent one week atop Alternative and four frames atop the Hot 100 in spring 1990. "Deep" pushes Katy Perry's "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, to No. 2 on the Hot 100, after five weeks on top, and Digital Songs, after seven weeks in charge. "E.T." gains in audience, spending a third week atop Radio Songs (143 million, up 3%), while dropping by 21% to 237,000 downloads sold. www.billboard.com/news/#/news/adele-s-rolling-in-the-deep-tops-hot-100-1005179322.story

She is going to kill during the Fall/Winter seasons. Someone Like You and Turning Tables are just perfect ballads for when the cold starts to set in. Make me a hot toddy and just sit and listen to this masterpiece.

Somebody please remind me how many weeks Taylor Swifts and Susan Boyle stayed on #1. I need to check my Billboard books to see the all-time records of weeks on #1 for albums by female artists.

Best selling album last year was Lady Gaga's The Fame Mosnter with 5,9KK Adele just sold 5,28 million of "21" this year. She will beat TFM within a month. Probably in 3 weeks. Who is a monster?

The best selling album last year just sold 5.9 million worldwide? That's really sad. Adele should probably best that by at least a couple of million at this pace.

That's just 'The Fame Monster' sales alone. Not couting on 'The Fame'.

15 weeks at #1 in the UK: tying the record for a female artist held by the Spice Girls with "Spice" (1997-1998).
It is soooo close to passing James Blunt's 2005 sales of "Back to Bedlam" to become the biggest-selling album EVER within one calendar year.
Shortly after it reaches that milestone, it can have the rest of the year to scale the top 10 list of albums by female artists.
