GOING WITH HER INSTINCTS: As Adeleβs 21 hits an astounding 10m worldwide, those in the know give kudos to the canny young artist for firmly putting her foot down at a critical moment early in the project. She rejected the original version of the album, which was solely produced by Rick Rubin, and proceeded to recut the bulk of the songs with other producers, including the Paul Epworth-helmed βRolling in the Deep,β while co-writer Dan Wilson produced second single βSomeone Like You.β Adeleβs overruling of Rubin, who was not only a renowned producer but also Columbiaβs Co-Chairman, turned out to be as brilliant as it was ballsy, further substantiating the foresight of label chief Steve Barnett in signing her, while deepening the perception that Rubin was a bust at Columbia. This anecdote is from I.B. Badβs next column, which will appear right here tomorrow morning. And so is the closely related next item. (9/22a) www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/rumormill.cgiWoo Hoo, Adele!

Adele went against Rick Rubin? Wow. Would love to know how he felt about that at the time. Good for her that it all worked out spectacularly. Wonder what the album originally sounded like.

Seriously, how many artists would have the balls to go against Rubin?? Especially on their sophomore album FFS! This will only massively strengthen her hand for the next album. She has always stated she has contractually agreed total control over her creative output and this absolutely backs up that claim.

Global Chart Report Friday, September 23, 2011 by Fred Chuchel, Dresden Adele's '21' breaks through the magical 10 million barrier, so it's the fastest selling album since Usher's 'Confession' seven years ago, which also reached the 10 million mark in the 34th week after its release. With the upcoming strong-selling season, '21' has a good chance to move another 3-4 million units until the end of the year, so it would be at eye level to the other two big smashes of the last five years: Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black' (12,86 million) and Lady GaGa's 'The Fame (Monster)' (13,18 million). mediatraffic.de/Get it, Adele!

Plus, CD sales were a lot better when Confessions hit. And she has the Grammys next year.

I think I can finally call myself an Adele fan now. I just saw Jade Richards' audition of Someone Like You on the British X-Factor and the way she sings it, some how it clicked something in me emotionally.
Then after that I saw Adele performing it here and then I started to cry. Just the whole performance and song was so beautiful and touching. And it reminded me of some stuff that I'm going through right now.
It's been a while since I've been touched like this by a song. :)

I can say that knowing music videos, not much is going on, so what's shown is probably what's gonna take a major part in the video. Besides, it a sad song, do you expect the video to be happy and cheery?

RHI I'm hoping doesn't see the light of day. That song, this one, and Lovesong are easily the worst songs on the album from my point of view.

The only thing I will say is that I don't like howit stops in the middle and it never really regains momentum. Regardless, she had me at "...sheeee she aint reeeeeallll..." Ugh I can't. I'm getting verklempt. :'( :'(

I'd like to hear the Rick Rubin version of the record just to see.
As an aside, 21 has sold 555,000 copies in Canada. That's about equivalent to 5.5 million in the US.

DYR, HWG, O&O and Lovesong. Oh, sorry, I read your post as 'the tracks that didn't make the album' and thought you were talking about unreleased Rubin tracks
