Adele - 21

[floridagrl]

Grammy's 2012...Now that's a standing O! Yup, yup, I am so stanning for you, girl!!

[bornfearless2000]

21 is definitely on it's way to become one of the best selling album of all time.

and probably has RSVP its seat in Best selling album this decade (although we've still got 8 years to go) lol

[Deleted]

I just love that that the 21's one year anniversary will be its 21st week at #1. It's like it was preordained, lol.

[Deleted]

#73 all time, will be in the top 60 next week

#1 Billboard year (closest non-Christmas challenger is 800K behind) - likely the first album to repeat at #1 for the year since Thriller

#1 Calendar year 2012 by alot

and obviously the decade #1

That is so freaking ironic. Destiny at its finest.

I have a question. Has 21 ever been discounted on iTunes, and if so, what was the lowest price? I imagine if the album ever starts to descend, the label can just cut its price.

I don't think it ever has, but i could be wrong.

Also, that's not what ironic means. At all.

I love the reaction to the tweet about her. The audience was not having it. It's the only one they didn't laugh at.

[Deleted]

So how close is she to being 7x Platinum?

[Mike]

^It was certified 7x platinum last week.

With the sales this week it'll be somewhere around 7.2 million.

[Musiq]

Wowwwwwwww According to HDD she exceeded her great expectations. 716,091

[Envoirment]

Adele just won her first BRIT of tonight! :)

[desertflower]

WoW Unbelievable sales this week. Love Adele!

[Linnethia Monique]

@ The Brit Awards. They said her album was bought every 6.5 seconds last year during their calender year.

[LittleMissMoonshine]

I can't believe the way they cut her acceptance speech off after, like, 10 seconds. Not only was it the most important award of the night, she's also, by far, Britain's most successful artist right now and a great ambassador for British music worldwide. She is not the person you want to disrespect publicly like this.

So freakin' rude. Whoever made that decision is a huge idiot.

[slamina]

716k sold this week! Wow.

That brings 21's total to approximately 7,338,000 copies! :o

Adele Makes Obscene Gesture at Brit Music Awards



Warning, music fans: Adele just went M.I.A.

An angry Adele gave the middle finger at the Brit awards for music Tuesday night in London, less than three weeks after rapper M.I.A. gave the same obscene gesture at the Super Bowl halftime show.

It happened as Adele, 23, was picking up the best album award to go with her solo female honor and was giving her acceptance speech.

"I am so proud to be British and to be flying the flag," she was saying when host James Cordon interrupted her to introduce 90s British pop band Blur.

The crowd booed and Adele digitally expressed herself. The multiple-Grammy winner explained that she wasn't directing her scorn at the audience.

"I flung the middle finger. That was for the suits at the Brit Awards, not my fans," she said, according to the BBC. "I'm sorry if I offended anyone but the suits offended me."

The moment put a damper on an otherwise shining night for Adele, who kissed and cuddled with boyfriend Simon Konecki throughout the ceremony.

She also showed no signs of her recent voice problems as she brought the crowd to its feet with "Rolling in the Deep."

Amazing! So happy for her!!

[EPG]

According to Billboard, she sold 730,000 copies which brings her total sold in the U.S. to 7,353,000. :o

[Linnethia Monique]

Finally, "21's" so-far three singles moved an incredible number of downloads last week -- a combined total of 709,000. "Rolling in the Deep" shifted 271,000 (up 115%), "Set Fire to the Rain" did 254,000 (up 36%) and "Someone Like You" sold 183,000 (up 44%).

DAMN! :O

[bat1990]

If she even sells 150,000 next week, she'll have sold 7.5 million copies within about a year of release in today album climate :o

[ListenToItTwice]

"Rolling in the Deep" is now the fourth-most-dowloaded song ever, well on its way to #2.

[Linnethia Monique]

A Grammy Awards afterglow likewise shines on Adele, whose three former Hot 100 No. 1s bullet in the top 10: "Set Fire to the Rain" holds at No. 2 (and No. 1 on Radio Songs for a second week; 143 million, up 4%); "Rolling in the Deep," the record and song of the year which Adele performed at the Grammys, charges back 17-5 (in its 59th chart week; 271,000, up 115%); and, "Someone Like You" jumps 11-7.

With the gains, Adele makes history as the first female ever to place three titles in the Hot 100's top 10 concurrently as a lead artist. Only one other woman had ever claimed a 30% share of the top 10: Ashanti, who charted a trio of tracks in the top tier the weeks of March 30 and April 6 in 2002.She sported featured artist billing, however, on two of those entries.

Until this week, Chris Brown last placed three songs in the Hot 100's top 10 as a lead artist the week of May 10, 2008. (More on Brown, who bows in this week's top 10, ahead).

Adele's historic week on the Hot 100 complements her record-breaking frame on the Billboard 200 albums chart. As previously reported, her sophomore set "21" logs a 21st week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, passing Whitney Houston's soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" for the most weeks on top for an album by a woman in the chart's history.

From Billboard

3 songs in the Top 10! Plus RITD jumping back into the Top 5! Adele you better do the damn thing.

[Deleted]

Three songs from her in the top 10. Wow, I never thought I'd say this but the Hot 100 is turning into MY chart

[Linnethia Monique]

Her digital sales are killing right now. She has album tracks that are passing Gold and approaching Platinum!

There's like no point to annouce that she had passed Platinum and Gold in songs that weren't even officiallly released!!

That is so wild!

[Carriefan1190]

This album is a MONSTER! Loving it.

The six songs from 21 listed here have sold a total of about 15.5 million! By the time the era has "finished" so to speak, digital track sales should be well over 20 million.

[SuRvIvOr]

Total 18.4 mil
#81 on all time album chart.

MonsterAdele.

[KeepDeanWeird]
