How many artists outsell their debt with their second effort?Can't think of any besides Madonna and Taylor...and now ADELE!!! Will Adele's tour be expanded to larger venues in the fall? Adele has debt? Damn. Glad she can pay that off, then. Regarding expanding her next tour into larger venues, she has already changed venues (occasionally) this tour to accommodate the growing demand.

I meant debut...not debt. I am sure that Adele is rolling in the deep with dough right now. (I had to go there....as corny as it sounds.)

Well at least she won the Best New Artist at the grammys to make up for it then! How many artists outsell their debut with their second effort? Can't think of any besides Madonna and Taylor...and now ADELE!!! Will Adele's tour be expanded to larger venues in the fall? Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake, TLC, P!nk, Usher, T.I., Kanye West, Jay-Z, Amy Winehouse, etc.

Just saw Adele live tonight and she was......breathtaking. Amazing. Incredible. Best vocalist in music today. Someone Like You and Don't You Remember were obvious highlights for me. Hometown Glory with just her and the piano was a brilliant way to open the show. And of course, RITD was a big moment. I love that she was able to introduce it as her first U.S. #1.

Beautiful pictures.
I love that she's not going to play arenas! I guess that explains why she's playing such small venues on this tour (like 1700 people at my show last night)
Her songs have been used for Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Gossip Girl to name a few, and they really shouldn't be (even tho I watch 2 of those). Wish she could turn those down with the ads.

hey Envoirnment, come in with that UK sales update ASAP, please. :) Haha sure :) UK update: 21 #1 - 51,183 (2,344,243) 19 #3 - 22,319 (1,405,362) SLY - #17 (915,600 estimate) RITD - #34 (592,000 estimate) 19 will hit 2mil sales by the end of the year it seems. SLY is around 6-7 weeks away from hitting 1mil sales and RITD will go platinum in the UK next week. Going really well still. :)

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind continuing to post these every week (even if it's just 21's sales?) I've really enjoyed following these numbers, especially as 21 continues breaking records and climbing all-time lists. (Next week she'll break James Blunt's Back to Bedlam's record for most sales in a calendar year!)

^^ Bans her hit from advertising campaigns? What was the "I Am Number Four" trailer, then?

137,626 copies this week per Soundscan, (down 12% from last week) for a new total of 1.848 million. Number one for the ninth and possibly final week.
Rolling in the Deep tops Digital Songs for the third time, with 297,000 (down 16%). Does that put it over three million?!?

Movies and TV are different because it adds to the score and ties in well emotionally which is what she is all in for. She doesn't want to hear Turning Tables on a Pledge ad for table cleaner lol.

Right, but I think they meant like how Avril and Katy are attached to Proactiv. I'm pretty sure she doesn't mind selling the music rights...just not her image.

Lolol can we make a game out of matching popular songs with brand-name products?

I personally don't think anything in that article is why she's big. Bottom line she released a quality album and she has a quality voice. The main reason why she is successful is because she has the right people in the industry backing her and spending marketing dollars on her.
The fact that she doesn't play festivals or has her song on a coke commercial is irrelevant.

Her trick lies in her cross-gender/age/genre/ethnicity appeal.
The indie folks like her, the black kids like her, the old types like her, the cool cats like her, the pop scene like her. She's mass market, but she's individual, her songs are modern but timeless, her voice is original but commercial.

I think her material while good is all samey and gets old real quick. I applaud her approach in the article but it also smells of someone who got a lucky break so young and doesn't understand how hard it is for an artist to get their big break. Not every artist gets to be a grammy darling and have serious marketing dollars thrown at them.

Rolling in the Deep is #1 on CHR. Probably going to be #1 in AI for all of Radio today, too

Not crazy about the music video for it, though, mostly because I don't understand it. Maybe someone here can explain it for me. Would appreciate it. Thanks. :)
