I think the 70's would go to either Olivia, Diana, or Donna before Barbara. Carole King Diana wasn't a strong seller... Carole King's Tapestry went diamond...so that puts her way ahead of the other girls that were going gold/platinum/2x platinum. But then again gold back in the day was 1M so...still nothing to sneeze about

^ I thought this was airing tonight for some reason... Hmm.
I'm finally ready for this era to die out and disappear.

21 is mysteriously missing from Spotify. I unlinked my library from Spotify because it kept crashing whenever any playlists would finishing a song that was a file on my hard drive.
Rumour Has It disappeared from a playlist, and when I went to re-add it, only 19 was on her page!!! *dies*

i think there is a certain amount of class in not squeezing the life out of a record. there is alot of class in not putting your name to a brand or a product. i think nelly furtado has really stuck to that as well its a quick buck and it takes the focus away from music. i have such respect for adele for being true to her artistic self. i hope she gets more success cos she deserves it.

I love how she crosses 22 million sold while still being #1 and pounding out nearly 150K a week. Like, damn. Tone it down a bit you are embarrassing everyone

Congrats on the pregnancy. Such a shame, though, since she was just starting to lose weight. Well, I guess the pregnancy won't show too much.
Next album will be her 4.

Great for her personal life, not so much for her career. I don't see her going ahead with recording and/ or touring ala Madonna, Britney, or Reba.

Well, babies are fine and all, but I'm glad she's been getting the dicking down she deserves.
I hope this allows her to approach music in a different perspective, what with a better man, and a bundle of joy on the way!

I see her being a white Lauryn Hill minus the crazy.
Album is huge everywhere, gets pregnant. Career ends.

Her career won't end but as a writer, it seems being a mother drastically changes what the songs are about so unless Adele can channel something other than being a happy mother, she might have to focus on a specific target audience. Happy songs just aren't as interesting or impacting as angry songs.
But we'll see. It's definitely unfair to write her off in any capacity just yet anyway.
