In an interview with the Mirror, asked about the No1 in her Βcurrent music collection, Madonna replied Adele. "I love Adele," said Madonna. "I think she's amazing and has an Βincredible voice. She impresses me most out of the new artists today." Read more: drownedmadonna.com/#ixzz1jUjjodVf :'(

I wish, I wish, I wish she could sell 4KK more. It'd be great if she goes diamond with an album like this. I think it's really possible... I mean, nowadays, who sells more than 100k a week in January (besides new releases from stablished acts)? Only Adele. With the Grammys coming up, and SFTTR yet to peak and dominate for weeks, I can see it selling at least 1.5 million more riding of that song's heels. If they release a fourth single, I can see that prediction going way higher, inching the album closer to diamond.

Diamond is incredibly possible at this point. She hasn't even begun her smash reign with Set Fire To The Rain, or performed it on the Grammys, or recieved the Album of the Year award. These factors alone will record at least two million more copies if not more. She has proven, time and again, that time has certainly not been an issue with the 21 era and its selling power almost one year after release is absolutely incredible. It will not simply begin to suddenly stop selling and when it does begin to fall off in sales, it will take an extremely, extremely long time for it to leave the top 10 alone.
And I'm not even considering the fact that she will probably be releasing Rumour Has It next, despite what Billboard suggested. Obviously her label wanted the release, and it has a lot of smash potential and selling power. This alone will have the potential to record a significant amount of album sales, and her longevity will bring the total to 10 million.
And I've grown really attached to this album over the past few weeks. I appreciate such an offering in mainstream music although my favourite songs (One And Only, I'll Be Waiting) are not the biggest tracks, I have warmed up to the entire piece collectively.

I predict between 2-2.5m sold this year which would mean 8 m They can ship at 9-9.5 m. Year end. Overtime will go diamond Singles...set fire to the rain ( December to March) Dvd video Rumour has it (April to July) Dvd video ill be waiting sigh most likely turning tables ( August to October) Promo for dvd and.cd without adele needing.to really promote. I'm here for 5x platinum dvd and 9 x platinum album by December

I can't imagine her label not releasing another single after "Fire". It's clear that she doesn't need to do massive promo circuits to sell her single or her album. It would be foolish of them to not continue capitalizing on her insane amount of success when the amount of work they have to put in is very minimal.

Adele Matches 'Titanic's' No. 1 Run Atop Billboard 200by Keith Caulfield, L.A. | January 18, 2012As expected, Adele's "21" spends its 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (104,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan; down 16%). Its reign is the longest since the "Titanic" soundtrack also earned 16 weeks at No. 1 in 1998. Since SoundScan's sales data began powering the Billboard 200 tally in May of 1991, "21" is one of only five sets to notch at least 16 weeks atop the list. Aside from "21" and "Titanic," the other three are: the Whitney Houston-driven soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" (20 weeks in 1992-1993), Garth Brooks' "Ropin' the Wind" (18 in 1991-1992) and Billy Ray Cyrus' "Some Gave All" had 17 in 1992. In the Billboard 200 chart's nearly 56-year history, "21" becomes only the 20th album to score at least 16 weeks at No. 1. And with 104,000 sold last week, "21" notches its 33rd week of 100,000-plus sales. The last album to do so was Usher's "Confessions," which also racked 33 stanzas of 100,000 sales in 2004-2005. www.billboard.com/column/chartbeat#/news/adele-matches-titanic-s-no-1-run-atop-billboard-1005904952.storyJust wow!!! Go Adele! I am loving this for you!!

Adele, Prince... and Vanilla Ice? The 20 Albums to Lead the Billboard 200 for 16 Weeks or MoreJanuary 19, 2012 By Gary Trust, New YorkAs previously reported, Adele's "21" tops the Billboard 200 album chart for a 16th week, marking the survey's longest reign since the "Titanic" soundtrack also led for 16 frames in 1998. Since the chart began appearing in each issue of Billboard magazine the week of March 24, 1956, just 20 albums have spent as many as 16 weeks at No. 1. Here is a look at the elite albums boasting the longest Billboard 200 commands in that span (a list on which Vanilla Ice ranks back-to-back with Andy Williams). Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artist, Peak Year 54, "West Side Story" soundtrack, 1962 The Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim songbook infuses the album that includes such standards as "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere." (The figure of 54 weeks at No. 1 combines the set's time atop separate stereo and mono LP charts before the Billboard 200 became a singular ranking the week of Aug. 17, 1963). 37, "Thriller," Michael Jackson, 1983 The set that vaulted Jackson to everlasting superstar status became the first to yield seven Billboard Hot 100 top 10s. At 29-times Platinum, "Thriller" is tied with the Eagles' "Their Greatest Hits 1971-75" for the most certifications, according to the RIAA. 31, "Rumours," Fleetwood Mac, 1977 As "Wayne's World"'s Mike Myers (in character) once joked about the opus, "I think if you lived in the suburbs, they just issued it to you, man." 31, "South Pacific" soundtrack, 1958 31, "Calypso," Harry Belafonte, 1956 24, "Purple Rain," Prince and the Revolution/soundtrack, 1984 24, "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, 1978 An collection that defines the disco era, the soundtrack became the first of nine albums ever to generate four Hot 100 No. 1s: the Bee Gees' "How Deep Is Your Love," "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" and the Bee Gees-penned Yvonne Elliman dance ballad "If I Can't Have You." 21, "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em," M.C. Hammer, 1990 20, "The Bodyguard," Whitney Houston/soundtrack, 1992 20, "Blue Hawaii," Elvis Presley/soundtrack, 1961 18, "Ropin' the Wind," Garth Brooks, 1991 Brooks spearheaded country's early '90s popularity boom, thanks in part to this set that included the Country Songs No. 1 "The River" (which Scotty McCreery sang last year en route to his coronation on "American Idol"). With career U.S. album sales of 68.6 million, Brooks is the best-selling album artist dating to the 1991 advent of Nielsen SoundScan data. 18, "Dirty Dancing," soundtrack, 1987 18, "More of the Monkees," the Monkees, 1967 17, "Some Gave All," Billy Ray Cyrus, 1992 The album, which introduced the signature line-dancing anthem "Achy Breaky Heart," spent its last week at No. 1 the week of Oct. 3, 1992. A month later, Cyrus welcomed daughter Destiny Hope - aka, "Miley." 17, "Synchronicity," the Police, 1983 16, "21," Adele, 2011 Should "Set Fire to the Rain," which pushes 4-2 on the Hot 100 this week, reach No. 1 while "21" is atop the Billboard 200, the album would become the first to sport three Hot 100 toppers that reigned while their parent sets led the Billboard 200. "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You" previously dominated the Hot 100 while "21" ruled the album tally. 16, "Titanic" soundtrack, 1998 16, "To the Extreme," Vanilla Ice, 1990 16, "Days of Wine and Roses," Andy Williams, 1963 16, "The Sound of Music," original cast, 1960 www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts-articles/chart-alert/adele-prince-and-vanilla-ice-the-20-albums-1005934152.story

How far is she from having the all-time biggest-selling album in the UK? What about the female and solo records?

'21' is at 8/9th place on the all time UK list but of course it is by far the most recently released album in that list and all the others were released at a time when album sales were much higher than they are now! There's every chance she will be up to 3rd/4th place by the end of this year. Quite extraordinary.
