Whenever I come back to this album as a whole, I keep getting stuck around Track 6. The first 5 tracks are brilliant and Someone Like You is obviously fantastic, but the 4 or so tracks between them... really not that great. I agree with you about the first 5 tracks and SLY being flawless. That was my first impression listening to the album and it has held that way. Although I don't think the 5 tracks in between them are bad at all. "One and Only" and "I'll Be Waiting" are fantastic IMO, while the others are pretty good. They just don't hit the level of the others.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( She is the messiah for all of us. It will only increase to about 1 to 1.5 million during the next few weeks because I'm giving this out as a stocking stuffer this year. I want her to slay all my relatives and friends.

Based on just those numbers alone, Adele has sold a combined 15,795,642 albums & singles in the US. I imagine with the sales of "Chasing Pavements," all the other individual tracks from 19, 21 and other digital exclusives that she's probably close to eclipsing 20 million records sold.

Not sure if that's what you're alluding to...but she doesn't have any Christmas songs, right? Would love at least a holiday single or something next year (since we certainly won't be getting anything this year without a voice)!

700K for "Make You Feel My Love"- that wasn't released to any radio formats, was it? Nope. Not quite sure why exactly, but it's been charting on the digital songs chart for quite some time now. I dug through some old threads and found that on the 4/11 chart of this year it was sitting at 443K with sales of around 10K. It's been selling that amount consistently all year.

Adele and Michael Buble tipped for Bond theme7 Nov 2011 // by: newsdesk Adele and Michael Buble are the two hot favourites to sing the theme to the next James Bond movie 'Skyfall'. Adele hinted in The Jonathan Ross Show last week that her next recording would be a theme for a movie but she refused to say which movie. Michael Buble's name has also been doing the rounds as a potential Skyfall theme vocalist. Over the years there have been some high profile and not so high profile Bond themes. Some have been obvious. Some left of centre. Shirley Bassey holds the record for the most Bond themes . three. (Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonracker). The big hit ones were by Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die), Duran Duran (A View To A Kill), Carly Simon (Nobody Does It Better) and Madonna (Die Another Day). The left of centre ones were 'You Know My Name' for Casino Royale by Chris Cornell, Jack White and Alicia Keys 'Another Way To Die' from Quantum of Solace, The World Is Not Enough by Garbage and The Living Daylights by A-Ha. Skyfall will be the 23rd James Bond movie. It will premiere in London on October 26, 2012. www.music-news.com/shownews.asp?H=Adele-and-Michael-Buble-tipped-for-Bond-theme&nItemID=45576

Adele - Adele's Throat Surgery A Success08 November 2011Adele has successfully undergone throat surgery. The 'Someone Like You' hitmaker - who was forced to cancel all her remaining concert dates for 2011 after suffering a vocal chord haemorrhage - had the operation in the US in Massachusetts to stop recurrent bleeding and prevent possible rupture from a benign polyp. A statement from Massachusetts General Hospital said: "Based on the advice of her doctor and voice therapist in the United Kingdom, Adele came to Boston to consult and undergo corrective voice surgery with Dr. Zeitels, the Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center. Dr. Zeitels, who is also the Eugene B. Casey Professor of Laryngeal Surgery at Harvard Medical School, has pioneered many vocal cord surgical procedures including the use of specialised lasers to stop vocal cord bleeding in singers. He has performed this unique procedure for many vocalists including Steven Tyler, allowing him to return to full performance." Her doctor "expects Adele to make a full recovery from her laser microsurgery". After experiencing the vocal chord haemorrhage, the 23-year-old singer announced she was pulling out of all her dates in the UK and US for the rest of the year in order to recover. A statement posted on her website www.adele.tv read: "It is with deep regret that Adele has been forced to cancel her remaining live dates and promotional appearances in 2011. She is to undergo surgery to alleviate the current issues with her throat and a full recovery is expected. As a result, doctors have ordered her to rest her voice and completely recuperate before looking to schedule any work commitments." www.contactmusic.com/news/adeles-throat-surgery-a-success_1259838Get well soon, Adele!

It seems that Billboard has confirmed that 'SFTTR' will be the next single. Very smart move. It's a much stronger single & it's not too far from platinum. I see an epic Grammy performance in the making.

Here is the new Adele cover that will appear on Glee next week. It is a mashup of Rumor Has It and Someone Like You. One of Glee's best numbers ever IMO. Should help boost sales a little bit.

I love the transitions in that clip, just not their voices To me, it doesn't sound right. & this will definetely give RHI & SLY sales boosts.

With The Fame/Fame Monster at ~13.2 million, and Back to Black at ~13.1 million, this will be the biggest album worldwide of the past five years by the end of 2011.

That's insane! I still can't fathom that Amy's "Back to Black" was that huge back in it's day.

Do you think this will pass those numbers? I think it certainly could since I fully expect SFTTR to be a huge smash in the U.S. and anywhere else it has yet to be released. There could even be another single after that. Plus, it still has some Grammy's to win. If she wins some big awards, which she WILL, then the sales could sky rocket after Grammy week.

She will EASILY pass those numbers. At the rate she's selling, it'll only take five weeks, and holiday sales in the US will only make it happen faster
