I think this album has the potential to be a surprise smash in the US. The hype is building.
Counting just this week's total from the UK (no other territories included), this has now sold a minimum of 1.023 million copies worldwide in four weeks.

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 AMAZING. I still can't believe SLY is her first #1. I was sure RITD, Chasing Pavements, or MYFML had to have gotten #1 at some point. Wow. Excited for the release tomorrow! I really think sales in the US will be strong. Best Buy is going to have it for $7.99, and Target has it for $9.99 with 4 bonus tracks.

I wonder if this is worth me trekking all the way into the city to purchase this in the cold. The independent store selling this has it for $9.99 with an autographed lyric booklet so I might have to make the trip while supplies last. Really excited for this though.

Itunes Update: Rolling in The Deep at #1 & #137 Someone Like you at #140 Chasing Pavements at #174 19 is also at #14 on the album chart, with 21 at #1 there. I think we will see Rolling in the Deep sell 100-150k Digitally this week. It could go platinum sometime in the future! And it looks likely that 19 will go platinum this year in the US, with 21 most likely going platinum too!!!!

The first cd i bought for 2011! And i'm so proud of that fact. Would love it if she could do 150k to 210k first week in the US. She deserves it.

That feat is impressive and it's odd to think that nobody has achieved two Top 5 albums and singles at the same time. I mean, it's rare for sure but NOBODY has done it since the Beatles until now? Crazy! Good for Adele. I might have to check out that album.
I was thinking before I read that... I think 2011 might be her year. Maybe not on Pop radio but she'll probably have one of the biggest selling albums of the year and get all of the awards.

Wow, this record is simply amazing- from the writing to vocals to production. Thank you for posting those live performances because her vocal tone and soulfulness is right at the top of the music industry. I'm still in awe !

Set Fire To The Rain is AMAZING. She's one of the best voices in the industry right now.
She's gonna be a big Grammy contender next year.
74 so far on Metacritic, compared to 69 for 19.

Just bought the deluxe at Target in the U.S. and listened for the first time. From first listen I think I might already like it better than 19, which I also love.
AOTY at the 2012 Grammys - calling it now.

I'm so glad she's seeing success. And most importantly, I'm glad she's really out there promoting. There's more than just buzz around this album - she's killing it every time she performs and she's working for this.
