Adele is nominated for 18 Billboard Music Awards. I think it's safe to say she is walking away with 12+.

It has sold over 1 million copies since "21" was released. Plus the fact it's Adele's album, it makes sense ;)

It will never fail to amuse me that Adele's several year old cd sold more without being actively promoted than some new releases that were actively promoted non-stop. I mean, this era has been epic in literally every way possible. She also crossed 20 million SOLD worldwide and is still plugging out 200K+ per week. Well, as of last week-she may drop slightly below this week

I read somewhere she's shooting the last video from 21. And it won't be Rumour Has It.

I'm PRAYING it's "Turning Tables" and it makes sense considering RIH is peaking.

@ Adele selling 8,909,000 copies of 21 off of 2 videos and minimal yet substantial promo. Plus she sold another 84k this week. Who Gon' Stop Her!

'21' has overtaken the sales of 'Thriller' in the UK!

^ What a remarkable achievement. I'm confused by this though: "65 non-consecutive weeks on the official album chart." I know that's not right... Does they mean weeks in the top 5?
"What's the Story, Morning Glory?" is at 4.52 million, so she'll be there by year-end. ABBA's Greatest Hits is nearing the 5 million mark, so that'll be a lot harder.

It's been so exciting to be so present and aware of this album and all the tremendous accolades, awards, and achievements its had. It feels almost like something of the past, like a Thriller, which was always confined to articles for me. It, of course, makes it all the more fun that I love the album and am such a fan of the artist, but either way, this is just going to be one of those albums and eras that are written about for decades, and it's been thrilling to witness.

When you see how an artist can sell loads of albums without even filming videos for his/her songs, you realize that the voice, reputation and general critical and mass acclaim are more important than active promotion.
That is not to say that EVERY SINGLE SONG on 21 deserves to be a single. I am pretty sure her next album will open with tremendous numbers, north of 1.2 Million in its first week I say

I heard My Same on the radio 2 nights ago. It was so random and my friends thought that it was a new song cause they never heard of it before.

I know someone who was truly and full convinced that Adele has put out 21 albums because of the title. Ugh.
