So, so, so boring. I can't see U.S. radio taking to this one. Or at least I hope it has more sense than that.

Can we just cancel Adele & give her success to Estelle?

I saw the video this morning on VH1. I really like her voice. I'm not sure how she will do in the US. I hate to say this but she doesn't look like a pop or R&B star. Unfortunately, that does play into an artists success these days especially if you are going mainstream.

This isn't THAT bad. The chorus is pretty catchy which is all that counts I guess.

It's not all that counts but I guess in the ringtone generation, it kinda is...

She has a voice on her and this is a great song. But her album can be very tiring, despite the several gems that I would rather pluck on to a playlist.

Cold Shoulder is wonderful and she does have a nice voice, but this is just a poor man's version of Sia's Breathe Me to me....

IMO it's a good song, but the title (and hook) are gonna sound weird to the average American listener...assumin it's more of a British phrase

Oh, the days of old, when music really meant something, and people actually knew how to sing and play. Oh, those were the days!

#35 on iTunes.
This song is insanely old, but I wouldn't mind it making a small dent here anyway. Still love it.

I saw that her album was in the Top 10 on Amazon. Wonder what the reason was for the spike in sales???

The album is #1 on iTunes right now... sales total anyone? Anyway, this song is good, but I got tired of it really fast, like in 3 weeks

The episode that Adele appeared on had SNL's highest ratings in 14 years. #24 on iTunes.

Ya, just a little after I posted that question I saw in another forum on here that she was on SNL. Wonder how much her sales will spike?

Good for Adele. I thought she had been forgotten about... it's good that some ppl are finally starting to look up and buy her music.

I find it odd that Star 94.1 in San Diego added this song yesterday since it's not exactly on fire and it's been out for a while. They are typically conservative (it's a Clear Channel station)

I'm glad she was on SNL - because I absolutely love this song and am glad I got to hear it!

Her SNL appearance couldn't have come at a better time - should be perfect for Grammy buzz.

Debuts at #82 on the Hot 100. Fantastic news! Shame that'll probably be it's peak, but it's more than I ever expected after that Urban Dictionary controversy.

One of my Hot AC's has been playing this for awhile, and I have to admit I had to find out who it was and what it was only after a few times hearing it...
