Adele name-dropped on Modern Family tonight:
Claire: "Everyone else has accepted my friend request. Your dad, Uncle Mitchell, Adele. That's right; Adele agreed to be friends with me."
Alex: "No, I think you're just a fan of Adele..."

It will be HUGE. If the single is subpar, then probably around 800K-1M If the single is anywhere near the quality level of "Rolling in the Deep" she could easily cash in at 1.5M+. If amazon sells her album at $3.99 (I think that was the price) like Born This Way, and she has a really good first single, I can easily see it selling 2 million first week. I'm not a huge fan of Adele and I don't tend to buy whole albums in the first place. I'd still buy her next album in a heatbeat if it was priced at $3.99.

14 more weeks until RITD breaks the record for longest charting song on the Hot 100 :) Currently sits at #33 on Hot100 and 39 on iTunes. I think with another big performance (American Idol, AMAs) it will regain enough momentum to keep it charting long enough to break the record.

^ I don't think it'll happen, to be honest. She's had two number ones since then and another rising top 40 single... The charts can only hold so much Adele at once

^ Last week, sales were at 8238724. This week, it sold about 130,000 (per Billboard). So the total is about 8,370,000. It's so well-stocked in stores that I'm guessing it'll be ready for that 9xplat certification in just a few weeks.

^ This is actually funny... And I normally hate "Shit .... Say" videos.
"Is this one of my songs? Oh no, it isn't, but I'm sure one of my songs will come on soon."
"Where is Lana Del Rey? I can't find it... Is it in California?"
"And Lady GaGa's all, 'Oh look at me, I'm a lad.'"
"Dame Adele Mirren."
"I killed Tupac."
"Relationship Status: Umm... Buy my album."

Global Chart Report Adele's '21' breaks through the 20 million border! Friday, March 30, 2012 by Fred Chuchel, Dresden It's done! 14 months after its release Adele's '21' breaks through the 20 million border. With the 247.000 copies, which were sold last week, the total sales are at 20,21 million now. So it's the first album since Norah Jones' 'Come Away With Me' (released in 2002) which reaches such a high level. Alone in the last quarter '21' moved 4,9 million copies and at the end of 2012 it will be surely the biggest album of the year and the second biggest of the 21st century, behind the Beatles' best of compilation '1', which sold nearly 32 million copies so far. www.mediatraffic.de/index.htmCongratulations, Adele!! :)

Turning Tables is sitting on that iTunes chart just waiting for a proper release so it can skyrocket.

Hollie Cavanagh just performed "Rolling in the Deep" on American Idol, using the arrangement from the Grammy performance. The judges loved it, but it wasn't especially fantastic.
Incidentally, the song sold its 7 millionth copy this week, per Paul Grein's column.
