Was "Someone Like You" officially released as a single? I hope "Set Fire To The Rain" will be third (and 2nd in the US, since I dont' think SLY would do anything here)

That performance was sensational.
Edited to add: Live version owns the studio version.

I am crossing my fingers that her concerts sell like crazy (it sounds like they are selling out!) and therefore she will add more dates. I live in Louisiana and there isn't a single stop closer than 8 hours. Really upsetting. I wish she would come kill it at the House of Blues in New Orleans. Perfect venue for her.

While of course I enjoy all of these SLY performances... I feel like I'm getting burnt out on this version. Aside from a few moments in each, almost all of the ones we've seen have been identical. Don't get me wrong, she sounds great and all... It's just getting a bit stale for me. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to adding some strings for a performance or maybe singing the melody in the chorus from the album version once or twice.

Adele is now #1 and #4 with SYL in the UK. Her pop bars are doulbe, if not more than that of Gaga's & Jessie J's. Also Rolling in the Deep is #5. She is going to have HUGE album sales this week in the UK. 150k+ very Likely I would say.

Adele took #1 from Gaga on UK iTunes?! YES! I'm really excited for the album release here. Just a few days now! I have absolutely no idea what it'll sell in the US, but hopefully a lot based on the concert sellouts.

I'm crossing my fingers that Adele receives even half of the attention stateside that she's receiving in the UK. The album is certainly more than worthy.

19 is up from 88 to 68 on the Billboard top 200 albums. I'm guess it's the hype around the 21 :) SLY is now 3x the pop bars of Gaga and 2x the pop bars of Jessie J on UK itunes. It could very well be #1. The chart this week is going to be very close! Also, the album has sold 90k so far this week (From Sunday-Wednesday). 60k Ahead of the #2 and is looking likely to hit the 200k mark again potentially!!!

Is the version of SLY from the Brits counted together with the SLY album version? Do you know how that works for the UK charts?

Interesting question. I was assuming they would count separately because Florence + The Machine's "You've Got The Dirtee Love" charted by itself last year. I suppose that is technically a new song though so who knows here.

From her Facebook: "Catch Adele on The Today Show tomorrow morning where she'll be performing "Rolling in the Deep" and "Take it All" from her upcoming album 21! Tune in at 7:00am EST on NBC - check your local listings."

I suppose that is technically a new song though so who knows here. They are combined. Any live performances or remixes are added to the original (unless mixed with another song such as You've Got The Dirtee Love). That's why it skyrocketed from #18 in the midweeks to #3. Without a seperate entry for the live version :) Sold 224.000 copies this week. Total copies WW stand at 735,000! Next week we will see the Brits effect and the album will get its US release! Which means it could possibly pass 1m copies sold by next week!!!!! 19 Sells another 41,000 WW. For sales of 125k in the last 3 weeks. Rolling in the Deep is also #5 on the UWC singles list with 237,000 points. With total points now at 900,000!

Ok guys, Adele is going to do the CHART DOUBLE this week in the UK. Here is the midweek report for SYL vs Gaga 1 Lady Gaga (65,413 - 200 copies ahead of Adele) 2 Adele [SLY] (65,200) Those are total sales from Sunday-Thursday. With a Lead 3x greater than Gaga's on itunes. She is definitely getting that no.1. With 100k+ Sold likely too! Her 1st number 1 single!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot WAIT to buy this. I haven't heard it yet except for RITD and her live performances of SLY. Those songs alone are enough for me to purchase this without previewing anything.

I was sure one of the past singles had to have gotten there. It'd be nice if she could get a #1 album debut in the US to follow this.

Her BRITS performance was absolutely incredible. Amazing what you can do when you have a voice.

Rolling Stone weighs in on 21 and they are as stingy as usual giving it 3.5 of 5 stars: www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/21-20110217Adele Adkins' retro-soul debut, 19, was striking less for her songs than for that voice: a voluptuous, slightly parched alto that swooped and fluttered like a Dusty Springfield student trying to upstage her teacher, or at least update the rules. Now that she's legal — 21 refers to her age when she wrote these songs — Adele has toughened her tone, trimmed the jazz frippery and sounds ready for a pub fight. "Go ahead and sell me out/And I'll lay your shit bare," she promises an ex-lover on "Rolling in the Deep," a soul burner with hand claps and a kick drum whumping like a fist on a sandbag. (The new approach seems to be working: 21 has already topped the charts in eight countries.) The A-list hitmakers are here: Paul Epworth (Kate Nash, Cee Lo Green), Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson), Dan Wilson (Dixie Chicks), Fraser T. Smith (Taio Cruz). Adele has real chemistry with Epworth; check his old-school/new-school magic act on the R&B co-write "He Won't Go," which gets some lean production from Rick Rubin. She clicks less with Wilson, whose power ballads (excepting the gospel-powered "One and Only") try too hard. The woman is mutable, sometimes to a fault: Her cover of the Cure's "Lovesong" is a nice idea lost in bossa nova fluff. But when the grooves are fierce, Adele gives as good as she gets.

SLY is no.1 in the UK with sales of 111k. Her FIRST no.1 single in the UK!!! The album shifts another 188,000! Total sales are now around 665,500. 19 & Rolling in the deep are both no.4. Making it the first time since the Beatles in 1964, and the first time for a living solo artist to achieve two top 5 albums and 2 top 5 singles at the same time!!! Hopefully her sales for rolling in the deep and 19 are also very good

It's good to see her getting decent reviews, I have a feeling this is gonna do really well in the US and at the Grammys next year.
