Even she knows her video was lackluster! She's cracking jokes about it herself. She should really perform "Someone Like You" on the VMAs. I don't want to wait for the AMAs to see an amzing US performance of it. :(

Her tickets went on sale for the Dallas date and it was already sold out as soon as they went on sale at 10am. *sigh* I hope and PRAY she releases a DVD concert or I may just have to settle for the iTunes festival.

www.adele.tv/blog/334/amy-flies-in-paradise-xAMY FLIES IN PARADISE Xnot many people have it in them to do something they love, simply because they love it. with no fuss and no compromise. but she knew what she was capable of and didnβt even need to try. if she wanted to do something she would and if she didnβt sheβd say fuck off. it came easy to her and thatβs why we all loved her so much. we believed every word she wrote, and it would sink in deep when she sang them. Amy paved the way for artists like me and made people excited about british music again whilst being fearlessly hilarious and blase about the whole thing. i donβt think she ever realised just how brilliant she was and how important she is, but that just makes her even more charming. although im incredibly sad about Amy passing im also reminded of how immensely proud of her i am as well. and grateful to be inspired by her. Amy flies in paradise xx how sweet of her... lovely.

I'm relatively new to Adele. What grade would you give her for her songwriting abilities?

A+. Hometown Glory is one of the best written songs I've ever heard. And it was the first song she ever wrote <3 "Someone Like You" debuts at #40 on Adult Pop Songs this week. On Mediabase, it's #39 on Triple A, #38 on Hot AC, and #66 on CHR/POP. Also #62 on iTunes.

Adele's '21' Ties 'Saturday Night Fever' as the Longest-Running No. 1 U.K. Album in 40 YearsJuly 26, 2011By Fred Bronson, Los Angeles It's no secret that Adele is the biggest star to hit the British charts in a long time, but here's some perspective: By securing an 18th week at No. 1 on this week's tally, her "21" is now tied with the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack from 1977 as the longest-running chart-topper in 40 years, since Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" racked up a 41st week at No. 1 in September 1971. By reaching the 18-week mark with "21," Adele ranks fourth among artists with the lengthiest stays at No. 1 on the U.K. album chart. Only the Beatles and Elvis Presley, along with Simon and Garfunkel, have had albums that have spent more time in first place. There are eight albums that have been No. 1 longer than "21." The next plateau for Adele to reach will be, ironically, 21 weeks, if her second album can collect three more frames on top. The Beatles' "With the Beatles" (1963) and "A Hard Day's Night" soundtrack (1964) both reigned for 21 weeks. Presley's "G.I." Blues" soundtrack (1960) was No. 1 for 22 weeks. The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967) ruled for 27 weeks, while their debut album, "Please Please Me" (1963), stayed on top for 30 weeks. Only two albums occupied the penthouse longer than the 41-week run of "Bridge Over Troubled Water": the soundtrack to "The Sound of Music" (1965) was No. 1 for 70 weeks and the soundtrack to "South Pacific" (1958) shored up a 115-week run on top. "21" and "Saturday Night Fever" are also tied with Presley's "Blue Hawaii" soundtrack (1961) at 18 weeks. Fittingly, "21" is clearly the longest-running No. 1 album of the 21st century. The lengthiest reign for a No. 1 album in the '90s was 15 weeks, for "Spice," the 1996 debut album by the Spice Girls. The '80s champ is Phil Collins' "β¦But Seriously" (1989), also with 15 weeks on top. Collins held the record for the longest-running No. 1 by a British solo artist until Adele took his title. www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/adele-s-21-ties-saturday-night-fever-as-1005293672.story

Well, she may never beat that insane "South Pacific" record, but I hope this album continues smashing records. She could, maybe, outlast "Please Please Me?"

I want her to give a SLY performance just like the Brit Awards at the VMAs. Simple yet breathtaking.

What just happened to send Adele's songs shooting up on iTunes? Set Fire to the Rain is 47, Someone Like You is 51. Both significantly higher than a few hours ago.

Global Chart ReportAdele still occupies the throneFriday, July 29, 2011 by Fred Chuchel, Dresden No surprise, Adele's '21' spends another ( the 19th!) week at the top spot of the global album chart and sold another 222.000 copies. That's a little 2% increase compared to the previous week. Now after 26 weeks on the tally the total sales stand at 8,2 million, a terrific result. But it's very unlikely, that Adele remains at no.1 on next week's hitlist: 'C'mon', the new album of Japan's most successful duo of all time, B'z, sold more than 100.000 copies in its first day at retail and until the end of the week, the sales are expected in the range of 230.000 - 280.000 units www.mediatraffic.deAnother great global week for Miss Adele.

Do y'all think with the upcoming holiday and Grammy season, 13-14 million is possible when this era is over ? I certainly think so !

I actually think this album is the type to continue selling long after promo is done. It'll go on to become one of those essential CDs that everyone is required to own so it may very well be a Catalog seller as well.

I agree. This will be an album that 15-20 years from now, people say "Hey, remember in 2011 there was this album called 21 by Adele with some AMAZING music. You should check it out!"
