Has 21 ever been discounted on iTunes. Everytime I've looked, it is $10.99. Its awesome that she is #1 at full-price.

"Take It All" doesn't really stand out to me. It and "One and Only" are kind of the low spots of the record for me. Oh, and I heard a karaoke/cover version of "Rumor Has It" today at Target. It needs to be the fourth single. I can't @ you dissing "Take It All" and "One and Only" and then saying "Rumor Has It" needs to be a single. Tsk tsk. ;) You and me both. But then as I kept reading that post and saw that RHI needs to be the 4th single, I guess I understand why this person has the opinion they do.

If people are flocking to buy it still, why lessen your profits?

Hopefully when it does start dying down (I can't imagine that will be), the label gives it one final push with a discount and a final single, even though that is unlikely at this point.

^ Honestly, it seems like they haven't readjusted their expectations for what this album will sell. At this point, they're letting it self-promote through word of mouth and radio. I truly believe the album could be even bigger if they were targetting a certain number of albums sold and focused more of their energy to get there, including an epic music video for one of the most epic songs in a while ("Set Fire to the Rain"). Even some promotions, including discounts for non-singles would help.

Wow. I would have never guessed, based on 19, that this album would be doing THIS well and that Adele would be a household name but I'm glad she is. I want "I'll Be Waiting" as a single or "One and Only" after "Rumour Has It", if that is what they plan on releasing next. Tell us the truth I did. You just chose to cross out half of it, for whatever reason.

21 it's good. The entire album. Rumour Has It needs to be the 4th single. I could say that, if she wants, Adele can have 6 number ones and break MJ and KP record.

If her label wanted to, they really could push RHI and TT to #1 on the Hot 100 tying the record (assuming SFTTR gets there) and then randomly push one more single incredibly hard. Aside from those five, what sixth song could potentially go #1? IBW? DYR? OAO? It would have to be one of those three. They could even go for Whitney's record if they released RHI and TT for #1s and then the next two singles from 23/24. On other records, though, this looks to become the highest selling album in the states during the digital era. The current holder of that record is All the Right Reasons by Nickelback with around 7.5 or so million. This looks to potentially break a record held by Taylor Swift at the moment. Combined sales of Fearless and "Love Story" make "Love Story" the highest selling single/album combo. IIRC, that's around 11 million. "Rolling in the Deep" looks to beat that very soon as well, considering its total should be around 10.5 million right now.

Taylor's at 11.8 million (6.4 for Fearless + 5.4 for Love Story) with her combo, and Adele's at 11.6 million (about 5.8 each).

Damn, I didn't realize they were so close! :o
Well, hell, Adele could take that record as early as the week after next!

DYR it's a little country, don't you think? OAO it's too long and I don't know if radios could get it too high on spins.

I agree: while DYR is the best of the three songs, I'll Be Waiting has the most hit potential. I'll be interested to see how this era unfolds.

The Year In International Music Biz: The New Interconnected World OrderJanuary 10, 2012 By Andy Gensler (@andygensler), New YorkThis year, much like last, began with music sales. Both 2010 and 2011 saw similar patterns: digital music sales grew apace, physical sales flagged and overall markets declined; except this year the U.S. music market showed modest growth (1.4%) for first time since 2006. Some of the increased sales can be attributed to a British artist you may have heard of named Adele. Her album "21" was a leviathan with global sales in excess of 17 million, according to XL. Her native country, however, didn't have quite as robust a year... www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/global/the-year-in-international-music-biz-the-1005812952.story

21 million won't be its destination, more another point on its journey.

^ Mediatraffic.de has her at 15.7 million sold, but their numbers are typically pretty conservative.

The label could also have been referring to shipments. They tend to do that sometimes. Either way, 15.7 million or 17 million is still insane. This album will have no problem crossing 20 million WW when it's all said and done.

Global Chart Report Adele's '21' breaks through the 16 million border Friday, January 13, 2012 by Fred Chuchel, Dresden It's no end in sight, Adele's '21' moved another 309.000 copies in its 50th week on the tally (down 22% compared to the previous week) and leads the global chart for a 29th week. The gap between no.1 and no.2 is huge, Exile's 'Exile Japan' holds the second place with 152.000 sales (down 56%). With total sales of 16,01 million copies '21' reaches no.109 on the global ALL TIME CHART. In one or two weeks it will enter the Top 100. The last album which jumped in this hitlist was Avril Lavigne's 'Let Go' (released in 2002). With the upcoming Grammy- & Brit-Awards, the sales of '21' will remain high in the next weeks. 1 Adele - 21 XL Recordings - 309.000 - 29 weeks at No.1 14 Adele - 19 XL Recordings - 52.000 mediatraffic.de/

There is a picture of Britney and Adele together what looks to be a backdrop from an Adele concert. Can someone tell me if that is from her current dvd and which song is appears on? Thanks.

In an interview with the Mirror, asked about the No1 in her current music collection, Madonna replied Adele. "I love Adele," said Madonna. "I think she's amazing and has an incredible voice. She impresses me most out of the new artists today." Read more: drownedmadonna.com/#ixzz1jUjjodVf

I never really understood why people saw single potential in Rumor Has It but the more I listen to it, the more I totally get it. I can't see it smashing as hard as the SFTTR, SLY, and RITD but it could be a sizable hit.

She was drinking it during her Royal Albert show. It is quite delicious. It hits the spot on these cold nights. I like the orange blossom honey. Try it.
