She is undoubtedly the best female singer out there. I love her. Her sales are phenomenal! SFTTR and RHI are two of my favs from this album. I can't wait to see the explosion that comes on radio when they hit.
Definitely Christmas sales will bring this through the roof.
I want to see her so bad in concert. Any word on when she might be back to the US after her surgery?

These award shows are fan voted now. The teenie boppers are in control. Before you know it, the GRAMMYs will be fan voted. Adele won three. That's something.

*projected to sell 120-130k this week according to hits daily double. Not bad.
*12.43 million sales worldwide. Unbelievable.
*Set Fire to the Rain is now #41 on iTunes, #54 on Pop (as of Thursday), #23 on Hot AC, and #22 on Triple A.
*by spending its first 39 weeks in the top 5, 21 has surpassed Michael Jackson's Bad to have the longest such streak ever

I believe her record of most consecutive weeks in the Top 5 (39, as of last week) is valid only for albums which debuted at #1 (she overtook Michael Jackson's Bad in this respect). Until the advent of SoundScan in 1991, it was not very common for an album to debut at #1, which helps to explain this.

Can you imagine holiday sales for 21 this year? :o I cannot wait to see them. :) Guys I'm scared of being disappointed!!! she's recovering and won't be promote till next year. I know she's got that DVD now, but I feel bad becasue I know had she performed somewhere her numbers would be way bigger! I just don't wanna get all diasppointed again, like with last year, when Taylor Swift's Speak Now "only" sold 250K max each week. I want Adele to smash Noel style! 500K here, 700K there... 6 million is a must, what do you think the chances of really big sales happening???

I listened to 'Turning Tables' from her DVD and her voice sounded dry and kinda strained on it. When was it recorded? Was it around her vocal problems started to surface?

Well her vocals problems were always there since she first began promo in the U.S. but never went away. This date wasn't one of her better days. They should have released the iTunes Festival footage on a DVD/Blu-Ray release.

I thought Turning Tables sounded fine. If anything, I thought Set Fire to the Rain sounded more forced. The tone of her voice seemed somewhat off in that one.

She definitely sounds tired throughout most of the show. It's a shame they didn't tape one of her earlier shows.

Yeah, I listened to the stream all yesterday.... she sounded way stronger at my show. I'm telling you, but everyone refuses to listen, her voice is suited for smaller venues. There's something about these big venues, that makes her sound very hollow and less crisp as she tends to. There were particularly some songs where she does weird vocal moments. I'm pretty sure it had to do with venue, timing, crew, etc. This was particularly planned because she never does the big hair and eyelashes on her regular tour locations.

^ She's always had the big hair and fake eyelashes on her tour. In fact in the pic with Christina Aguilera she had them on at her LA show.
Anyway! So happy my Bluray disc came in the mail today. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow in celebration of her many Grammy nominations.

Adele should be rolling in Grammy nominationsBy Edna Gundersen, USA TODAYWhy bother predicting the Grammy nominees when the winner is a slam-dunk? Adele, the 23-year-old British songbird, is expected to score a bushel of Grammy nominations Wednesday night for her 21 album and hit Rolling in the Deep, and she's considered a shoo-in to walk away with the hardware on the Feb. 12 Grammy Awards telecast. Nominees in 78 categories will be unveiled during Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown to Music's Biggest Night, airing live on CBS (10 p.m. ET/tape delay PT).Adele won the 2008 Grammy for best new artist and "fulfilled the promise," says Tom O'Neil, editor of the Gold Derby awards website. "She's the only artist in modern Grammy history who paid off in the new-artist slot. It's rare that you see this kind of critical and commercial consensus. "We'll see an inevitable sweep," O'Neil says. "There's no suspense. It's very rare to have a complete sweep of the top categories, but it would be a major upset and jaw-dropper if she lost those. The delight of the Grammys this year may be that we're going to experience a love fest and a coronation. That can be a great show in itself." All 10 of Gold Derby's experts tag 21 for best album and Rolling for best song and record. Adele's crowning "is a foregone conclusion," says veteran Grammy expert Paul Grein, Chart Watch columnist for Yahoo. "She's so highly regarded. I don't think I've heard a discouraging word about the album or her or these hits. The Grammys have an opportunity to go with someone nobody is going to complain about. The critics won't be snarky." www.usatoday.com/life/music/awards/grammys/story/2011-11-29/2011-grammy-nominations-predictions/51476198/1Go Adele. Kick some Grammy @ss today!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if she swept AOTY, ROTY, and SOTY.
