Global Chart Report '21' is 21 weeks atop the album chart Friday, September 2, 2011 by Fred Chuchel, Dresden She did it again...Adele won the battle against the concentrated force of 3 big rappers, Jay-Z, Kanye West and The Game and returns to the top spot of the global album chart for the umpteenth time. '21' sold another 234.000 copies last week, a 4% increase compared to the previous week and a total of 9,27 million. In three of four weeks it will break the 10 million border, so it's the fastest selling album since Usher's 'Confessions' seven years ago, which sold 10 million units after 34 weeks on the tally. www.mediatraffic.de/She is have one amazing year. Go Adele!

While others are pimping out their pregnancies to gain interest in their albums, Adele just slays 'em by standing there with a mic. I hate comments like this. Low jabs at other singers to point out how Adele can do it with a mic. The funny thing is that it's always a comment against someone like Beyonce, or Gaga. Oddly enough, two people that actually could stand there with a mix and give that kind of performance that could wow an audience just as well. People, however, expect Beyoncé to give a big accompanying dance performance and Gaga to give a big spectacle but I would love for Gaga to stand at a mic, just once, and blow away an audience with just the song. It's great that Adele can do that but that doesn't mean those that choose other ways to perform are less able or deserving. I realize the quote is referring only to Beyoncé's pregnancy, which is something the media is interested in more than anything. Sure she's playing it up but why wouldn't she? It's part of being a public figure. Eventually, Adele's shtick will get old for a lot of people. She might be here to stay but she'll still have to change it up sooner than later. Beyonce's performances are a snoozer when she performs ballads. Her voice has no character and is as dull as her personality. My opinion of course. And Yes Beyonce pimping her baby before, during and after the VMAs was tacky, but I would expect nothing less from her. Adele "pimping" (if that's what you want to call it) her boyfriend is completely different. She's telling a story with her music, especially with SLY, one many can relate to. Adele is creating her brand and she's catering to an audience that tends to stick with an artist. On that note, rather Adele's music gets old or not, Adele is taking a dump on Beyonce right now. Deal. P.S. Adele just spent her 21st week at number 1 this week on the worldwide chart, selling 234.000 copies. :'( "19" sold 53.000 copies which is 2K less than "4". :)

It is a low jab with little basis in reality...you have the nerve to say "deal" as if anything you said was even accurate. I'm not "dealing" with anything. What is there to deal with? You say that Adele is catering to "an audience that tends to stick with its artists" as if Beyonce hasn't been in this game (and frankly, sh*tting on hoes) for 13-14 years already. I bet if you asked Adele she would be more than happy to have the kind of career longevity and loyal fans that Bey has amassed. Plenty of artists have had amazing 'breakthrough' eras only to go back down to just aiight sales (or even worse, drift into oblivion) right afterward. I don't want her to have that fate, but Adele could easily be one of those people, and then suddenly it won't matter that she took a dump on Beyonce that one year while Beyonce continues to sell out concerts and hit platinum. It's especially ridiculous when we're discussing two artists who clearly respect and admire one another. Adele cried the first time she met Beyonce, she was so nervous and starstruck. And Beyonce has praised Adele's talent - for that matter most celebrities have. Is it really impossible to give someone a compliment WITHOUT having to take a dig at another artist? I'm not saying you need to like Beyonce or Gaga or whomever, I'm just saying that the fact you need to even bring someone else up and then proceed to "go in" on them for a full paragraph just shows that that person still has your mind. Defeats the purpose of bragging on Adele if you keep showing that you can't just concentrate on her. And she is fully deserving of your FULL concentration, so I much prefer that we keep it that way. Anyway, Adele and Beyonce IMO were both the two big 'stars' of the VMAs. They both are exceptionally talented in their own ways and gave a great performance, and of course Bey's pregnancy announcement was big news for the media because people have been trying to pin baby rumors on her for YEARS. Of course it will be a big deal when it finally turns out to be true. I don't consider it tacky, you could see the genuine happiness in her and Jay-Z's faces. Bey and Jay normally are very private about their relationship so the public display of joy is actually out of character for them. Plus she has talked about wanting to start a family for years so of course she's going to be excited about it. As for Adele, she's going to have another #1 with the song that so many people swore would flop on CHR Love that she proved them wrong.

My thing is you're private about everything, okay cool. Why didn't you announce this in an interview or formal manner. It kinda took away from the rest of the artists at the Vma's. That was odd. She knew that she would draw loads off attention doing this, in which she did. But she could have done this in another manner. As far as Adele goes, her first album is platinum plus in the states. So she'll be all good. She's very classic and genuine in terms of her talent. Adele caters to all audiences, so she has all sorts of fans, not just a certain demographic. Congrats to her on all of her success. She is awesome.

You have to deal that Adele is a Beyoncé fan, and she thanks to Beysus to inspire her on confidence and sit that fat-ass on the stage. And one more thing, i do love Adele. But what brand is she creating? Maybe she will die at 27, it's the fairest of 'original' that she could possibly be.

2 completely different artists, both brilliant at what they do, probably appealing to 2 different demographics. They seem to have genuine respect and affection for each other, maybe that's something their fans can learn from? Exactly...can't we all just get along

The funny part about that comment is that Beyonce can EASILY sit her ass down and bust out a ballad - and she HAS. Adele could NEVER, and I mean, NEVER, pull off one of Beyonce's performances when she's doing her thang. So? Why would she want to? That's not her thing. Adele is not a dance artist. She is slaying worldwide doing her OWN thing. As much as my fave is about the dance and not about the vocals...I'm loving how Adele is ushering in this type of music again. Dance has run its course and I'm ready for more of this. Adele can slay just on real music. Entertaining is great but this is soulful, real music. Not just someone with a good voice singing a song. Gives me hope that Mimi and Christina can comeback for their new era.

It doesn't sound like she is just singing a song and has a great voice...it sounds like she is really telling a story and you can really feel it. I hope she releases at least two more singles. Rumor has it, Set fire to the rain, or I'll be waiting :'( :'( :'( Turning tables could be thrown in there. She better release a radio edit of Rumor has it...she gets me everytime...sheeeeee, she ain't real :'(

You don't hear that from any other artist right now. You can almost see what that guy did to her just by listening.

Here's another thing about Adele that's refreshing - we don't get the usual BS from her fans about 'she has (insert random figure) octaves and her whistle register is to die for etc etc. Far too many amateur, internet only vocal coaches about at the moment. I have no idea and care even less how many octaves Adele's voice possesses (she may have one for all I know but what has that do with emoting a song anyway??), I've no idea if she can whistle (lol) blah blah blah and care less if she actually can and just hasn't registered it with the appropriate authorities . All I know is I believe every word she sings, she's real and she gets you 'on board'. And she's faultless live just about every single time. In short, her stuff and her voice moves me like no other singer around at the present time.

Preach!!! needs a gif with hands in the air and tears flowing down. It is so true that vocal gymnastics while technically excellent are impressive but raw emotion trumps wailing/high notes. But there are those that possess both. I love how I can identify with her situation. There are many great singers that when they sing a song sounds like they are just selling to an audience. I feel like I know a piece of her and I just hope that with the success she doesn't lose this. She might not have heartache for 23 but she needs to keep with her emotion and relatability. Some of my faves: I'm not basing off of octaves but just the connection I receive when listening to them. Emotion and range-Adele, Aretha, Annie Lennox, Fergie (she might wail like a banshee but still), Lauryn Hill, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Mariah, Pink, Celine, Pat benetar, and Linda Ronstadt. Emotion (not so much about the range)-Aaliyah, Alanis, Alicia, Amy, Duffy, Diana Ross, Gwen, mary j. blige, Nelly furtado, Sade, Shania Twain, Tina turner, Dolly parton Technical excellence (little emotion connection)-Beyonce, Gaga, Christina (i'm torn there's emotion but very woe is me), Toni Braxton, Whitney, Barbra ...the rest

This song is actually only on a limited edition of '21' and Adele didn't even write it (to be entirely accurate Brandi Carlile's guitarist did) but it illustrates perfectly why she's slaying everyone at the moment. I'm sure there are plenty of singers who could do a version which is technically 'superior' and maybe there will be (genuine!) vocal coaches who could spot many imperfections in the singing....but I can't think of any other singer around at the moment who I would rather hear sing it!

You've mentioned some very good ones. But she is by far in another league. I agree but I placed her in emotion and range (meaning she possesses both). Then i had a category of singers I felt gave an emotional connection but not so much a range and then the last category was singers with great technical voices but I didn't feel I had an emotional connection with them.

I don't see how Beyoncé fails to relay emotion...
You can hear how pissed/happy/horny she is on many different records! Christina too.

Adele Talks Stage Fright: 'I Puke Quite a Lot'by Chris Payne, N.Y.British soul-pop star Adele has come clean to British Vogue (via UsMagazine.com) about how she deals with pre-show jitters. "I puke quite a lot before going onstage, though never actually on the stage" confessed the 22-year old singer. "But then... I sh*t myself before everything... the bigger the freak-out, the more I enjoy the show!" Adele's '21' Notches Most Weeks at No. 1 Since 2000 The "Rolling in the Deep" songstress had previously discussed her performance anxiety with Rolling Stone, via her cover story last April. Among her worst bouts included a concert in Amsterdam, where she attempted to escape the venue through a fire exit just before taking the stage. Despite her personal inhibitions, Adele has been acclaimed for her impassioned live performances -- most recently, a poignant rendition of her piano ballad, "Someone Like You" before a national television audience at the MTV Video Music Awards August 28th. Adele currently has two singles in the Billboard Top 40 ("Someone Like You," "Rolling in the Deep"), both from her successful sophomore effort, 21. www.billboard.com/news#/news/adele-talks-stage-fright-i-puke-quite-a-1005339512.storyI have to commend her. Inspite of her stage fright, she gets out there and sings her ass off.

wow she looks stunning here :o :o :o Adele Has UK ‘Vogue’ CoveredThe upcoming October issue of the UK edition of Vogue is dedicated to “The English Woman Now,” and the mag feels that no one personifies that more in 2011 than Adele — at least when it comes to celebrities. “Our cover girl, Adele, has won over the world with her heartbreaking voice and her ability to seem as if she very much herself,” Alexandra Shulman writes in her editor’s letter. Case in point: although the London songstress didn’t win at the recent MTV VMAs, “Someone Like You” has steadily remained at #1 on iTunes since her haunting performance on the show. Just Jared posted a few particularly classy quotes from Adele from the magazine: * “I puke quite a lot before going on stage. Though never actually on stage. But then, I shit myself before everything … the bigger the freak-out, the more I enjoy the show!” * “I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don’t want that in my life. I have insecurities, of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.”* “I’ve always got on better with boys. Most of my friends are boys. Like, if I ever have children, I want five boys. Boys love their mothers whereas girls can be so mean to each other.”[/i] idolator.com/5999452/adele-has-uk-vogue-cover
