I cannot get enough of this song right now....truly beautiful, as she is: I remember when this was a free single on iTunes four years. Never thought she would be where she's at now.

I’ve been walking in the same way as I did Missing out the cracks in the pavement And tutting my heel and strutting my feet “Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?” “No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering”
Round my hometown Memories are fresh Round my hometown Ooh the people I’ve met Are the wonders of my world Are the wonders of my world Are the wonders of this world Are the wonders of my world
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades I like it in the city when two worlds collide You get the people and the government Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand s**t Shows that we are united Shows that we ain’t gonna take it Shows that we ain’t gonna stand s**t Shows that we are united
Round my hometown Memories are fresh Round my hometown Ooh the people I’ve met
Are the wonders of my world (4x)
It is such a beautiful song and also showed her versatility in writing. I always play this song when my friends are like "All she sings about is love and such."

That's actually how I heard of her. I would download those free singles every week. It got me exposed to so many artists. I loved HG back them and I still do. :)

Pretty much all of her touring plans for this CD were put on hold due to her vocal restraints, but once she fully recovers from surgery, there will no doubt be a large tour planned. I remember reading about it in a Billboard article.

Get that consecutive hot 100 no. 1 hit Adele. I am so very very happy she won that best new artist Grammy back in 2009. She's been proving the doubters wrong.

I'm wondering how much singles she could release from 21. Maybe all the tracks.

Wow. I would have never guessed, based on 19, that this album would be doing THIS well and that Adele would be a household name but I'm glad she is. I want "I'll Be Waiting" as a single or "One and Only" after "Rumour Has It", if that is what they plan on releasing next.

Week Ending Jan. 1, 2012. Albums: She’s BackBy Paul Grein | Chart Watch Adele's 21 returns to #1 on The Billboard 200 for first time since October. This is the album's 14th week on top, which is the longest run at #1 for any album since the Titanic soundtrack spent 16 weeks at #1 in 1998. It's the longest run for an album by a female artist since Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard soundtrack logged 20 weeks on top in 1992-1993. It's the longest run for an album by a British artist since the Police's Synchronicity was #1 for 17 weeks in 1983. 21 is in its 45th week on the chart. It's the first album to appear at #1 this deep into its chart run since Norah Jones' Come Away With Me was #1 in its 53rd week in March 2003. That album returned to #1 after it won the Grammy for Album of the Year. 21 is certain to win that award when this year's Grammys are presented on Feb. 12. Shameless Plug: This is the final week of the 2011 tracking year. (Six of the seven days were in 2011, so it tips into that year.) 21 sold 5,824,000 copies during the year, which is the most for any album in a calendar year since 2004, when Usher's Confessions sold 7,979,000 copies. It's the most for an album by a female artist in a calendar year since Britney Spears' Oops!...I Did It Again sold 7,894,000 copies in 2000. And it's the most for an album by an act from the U.K. in a calendar year in Nielsen SoundScan history. The old record for an album by a British artist was held by Spice Girls, whose debut album Spice sold 5,302,000 copies in 1997. The Beatles are in third place. Their hits collection 1 sold 5,068,000 copies in 2000. Adele's DVD Live At The Royal Albert Hall sold 30,000 copies in its fifth week. This brings its five week sales total to 451,000. That's the greatest tally by a music video in a calendar year since 2009, when Michael Jackson's Number Ones sold 558K copies. music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-jan-1-2012-albums-she-back-153256993.html

It's amazing that people are still "discovering" an appreciation for her this late into the era. My mom just decided today that she likes "Set Fire to the Rain."

No one ever seems to mention "Take It All" when talking about the album. I was listening to the album the other day, and it just clicked. It's now one of my favorites.

I can't pick a favorite. Every song is just so meaningful and amazing that I can't help but listen to the whole thing without interruption, and I've had it for nearly a year!

I finally saw her Live At The Royal Albert Hall DVD today. I've had it for a little while, but hadn't made the time to watch it until tonight. I was blown away by how good it was. I was expecting really good vocal performances and everything, which she delivered on as expected, but I was really pleasantly surprised by how funny and personable she was. It's probably one of my favourite concert DVDs. I've definitely decided that I'll see her if she comes to the Toronto area in concert.
I also love how on the DVD she says that she wants to cover a Dolly Parton song. I don't know which one I'd want her to do, but I think she could do great things with "Here You Come Again".
I think of the 21 album as a modern day Tapestry. All of the songs are simple, but yet excellent. I could see this being one of those albums that has excellent catalog sales, and one where even the non-singles become classics.

"Take It All" doesn't really stand out to me. It and "One and Only" are kind of the low spots of the record for me.
Oh, and I heard a karaoke/cover version of "Rumor Has It" today at Target. It needs to be the fourth single.

Yeah, I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but everything in the second half of the album, collectively, seems better than the first half IMO. One And Only and I'll Be Waiting are absolute gems and are among the best offerings on the album; it all depends on your taste though. I'm so into the the more bluesy / soul-oriented Adele.

"Turning Tables" is FAR from the best song on 21 and EVERYONE will deal WITH THE FACT THAT I'LL BE WAITING is an underrated gem. I agree. ;)

"Turning Tables" and "Take It All" >>> "Rumour Has It" >> "I'll Be Waiting"
Love all though. Live, "Take It All" is perfection.
