Adele, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber Land New Guinness Records Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Black Eyed Peas and 'Glee' also get new entries in the 'Guinness Book of World Records.'By Gil Kaufman Adele has been on a record-setting tear all year and now the British songbird can claim to be a "Guinness Book of World Records" champ. The upcoming 2012 edition of the book reveals that the "Rolling in the Deep" singer is in good company, as Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Willow Smith and Justin Bieber also set some high-water marks over the past 12 months. Adele can count three records, including first female to land two singles and two albums in the U.K. top five simultaneously — which only the Beatles had achieved before in 1963. Her breakthrough second CD, 21, claimed the record as the first album in U.K. chart history to sell 3 million copies in one calendar year. She also logged the most consecutive weeks with the #1 album in the U.K. for a solo female with 11 weeks at the top — beating a record previously held by Madonna's The Immaculate Collection — and most cumulative weeks with a U.K. #1 for a solo female (18), beating out both Alanis Morissette and Shania Twain, who shared the previous record at 11 weeks. www.mtv.com/news/articles/1670701/lady-gaga-adele-guinness-book-of-world-records.jhtml

The total sales are at 9,87 million now, which means that it sells the 10 millionth copies these days. www.mediatraffic.deHoly Shit, Adele!!

Adele's '21' on Track to Be 2011's Best-Selling Album -- Can Anything Top It?by Keith Caulfield (keith_caulfield), Los AngelesWith 3.4 million sold since its debut in February according to Nielsen SoundScan, Adele's XL/Columbia album "21" is the fastest-selling release of any year since 2005. The last set to sell at a quicker clip was 50 Cent's "The Massacre," which had sold 4.5 million through the week ending Sept. 11, 2005. Plus, "21" is by far 2011's biggest-selling album and seems a lock to take home the honor once the year ends. Adele's '21' Scores 12th Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 -- Most Since 2000 Currently, 2011's year-to-date top five selling albums in the U.S. are "21," Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (1.77 million), Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" (1.18 million), Mumford & Sons' "Sigh No More" (1.16 million) and Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" (1.13 million). Columbia expects "21" to sell a cumulative 4.5 million by Dec. 31, with its sales climbing to between 5 million and 6 million by next March. The latter figure will include the sales bump the album will likely gain from next year's Grammy Awards (Feb. 12) -- where Adele seems poised to take home at least a few trophies. Adele Makes U.K. Chart History: First Artist To Sell 3 Million Albums In Same Year Statistically speaking, it's almost impossible for any upcoming album release to pose a threat to "21's" likely year-end dominance. How Adele's 'Someone Like You' Became First Ballad in More Than Three Years to Top Billboard Hot 100 Since 2000, the only time a year's top seller was released in its last five months was in 2007: Josh Groban's "Noel" sold 3.7 million units in three months' time. The Christmas collection was released Oct. 1 and surpassed the "High School Musical 2" soundtrack (3 million) as 2007's top seller. Diving deeper, it's rare for a late-in-the-year title to surpass 3 million copies. There simply isn't enough time to rack up those kinds of sales. There have been only 11 albums since 2000 that were released after Aug. 1 that sold 3 million by year's end. And since 2005, it has happened only twice: "Noel" with its 3.7 million and Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" with 3.1 million (2009) following its Nov. 24 street date. However, that's not to say "21" will absolutely, positively end up as the year's biggest-selling album. There could always be a left-field hit (Boyle, anyone?) that takes everyone by surprise. Or perhaps, far worse, a tragedy that sparks a massive sales surge for a beloved act. Finally, we may see "Noel"-sized sales from Michael Buble's holiday set, "Christmas," due out Oct. 24. Every year since "Noel," we've been looking for, well, the next "Noel." There have been Christmas contenders from Enya, Sting, Chris Botti and Boyle, but Buble certainly seems a sure bet for blockbuster sales. His last studio set, 2009's "Crazy Love," has sold 2.1 million, while his holiday EP "Let It Snow" has moved a handsome 1 million since its bow in 2003. Collectively, the pop singer's catalog of albums have shifted 12.9 million since his first release dropped in early 2003. www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/retail/adele-s-21-on-track-to-be-2011-s-best-selling-1005355022.storyNice read!

She is so deserving of everything that is coming her way. Everything about her makes it so easy to just succumb to her personality and lyrics. She is talking about relationship woes that have affected most of us in one way or another. I've actually bitched out and cried to a couple of the songs while drinking away the sadness.

Given Adele's music, you would think she might be a very dry, serious interview, but she's just the opposite.

They both publicly state how much they really don't care for the fame, the celebrity, and rarely follows the news on herself or other stars. I would love to see the two of them being interviewed together with their Cockney and Texas accents (and of course sing together), lol.

Loved that interview. I wonder what she was hinting at...she said something about writing a "theme" song in November. That sounds awfully like a potential original song for a movie, and the timing suggests for an Oscar-buzz film. I can see why movie producers would want her. Kind of a leap to assume this, but if it's true, she could have an Oscar nomination in her future on top of everything else.
Kind of surprised she hasn't written a single song since. She's been busy, and this album will last a good while, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

The theme song is supposed to be for the new James Bond movie.
