so excited that she's shooting a video for SFTTR Where did you hear or read this news? I'm totally stoked if it's true. I would have been happy with either SFTTR or "Rumour Has It." I want her to hold off on "Someone Like You" (at least stateside) to keep up this era's momentum.

The most recent album to do 2 million + on both sides of the Atlantic is Lady GaGa's "The Fame." Even Susan Boyle didn't quite do it if I'm not mistaken.

SFTTR is my favorite song on the album and probably my favorite song period since...Kanye's album dropped in November.

I thought it was well known and confirmed that SFTTR was her 2nd single. Was that never confirmed?

I was under the impression SLY was the new single but both are stellar. If all 3 come out this year, I wonder which will go to the Grammys next year. RITD?

I thought SLY was the 2nd single no? Maybe it's best to have 2 upbeat songs then the ballads so SFTTR is next maybe.
I would love for rumour has it to be a single as well it's really catchy.

Well SLY has already been released as the second single in Europe, with SFTTR up next. It seems as though SLY may be skipped over in the US in favor of the more pop-friendly SFTTR.

I absolutely adore SLR but it would be a huge mistake if released in the U.S. to follow up "Rolling in the Deep" which is gaining traction on CHR. Adele is establishing herself on the said format and SFTTR can work on all of her formats.

I'm feeling I'll Be Waiting at the moment. Me too! It's been one of my absolute favorites since day 1 but it's not one of my single choices.

I love Someone Like You, more than SFTTR, but I can't see it doing anything on many US radio formats.

Absolutely adore 21. I was already a big fan of Adele's voice and really enjoyed 19, but aside from Chasing Pavements, Hometown Glory, My Same, and her cover of Make You Feel My Love, none of the other tracks particularly stood out to me or got stuck in my head. 21 really shows a huge growth in her song-writing ability to me. Even songs on 21 that I didn't really like as much at first have grown on me and I find myself humming/singing along to all of them.
I'm kicking myself that I didn't keep better track of her touring schedule and when tickets were to be sold. Seems like many/most of her stops sold out quickly.
ITA with everyone wanting SFTTR as the next US single. SLY is awesome, but not the best choice for the radio formats here. (Not to mention I still find the acoustic versions of SLY far better than the album version.) I think it should only be considered as a possible 3rd or 4th single following success of 2 others singles first or just skipped altogether.
I'm really happy for the well-deserved worldwide success that Adele is having!

Turning Tables has been on repeat for me for about 2 days. I love the progression from the pre-chorus to the chorus.

I can't describe how happy I am for her. In an era of instantly disposable dance-pop fodder, alter-egos, bizarre outfits, and behavior it's refreshing to see a true artist dominating the charts.
She has the Grammys on lock next year.

I think one of the biggest questions is which song will go for Record/Song/Female Pop. RITD is most likely going to end up being the biggest hit, and is obviously very worthy of some Grammy love. But they could go with SLY or SFTTR (if the 2nd single).
