Major: Adele’s ’21’ Certified 9X Platinum

Published: Saturday 21st Apr 2012 by David

If you thought sales of Adele‘s ‘21‘ has ‘slowed down’. it’s high time you think again.

Oh yes, as if selling 20 million copies worldwide wasn’t enough, the iconic LP continues on its bid to the first project to score diamond status, since 2004.

To be precise, the LP 9x platinum by the RIAA for shipments surpassing the 9 million units sold mark.

Shifting over 8.74 million copies  at retail outlets, ’21′ is the best-selling ‘US’ release,  since Usher’s ‘Confessions‘ in the 2004,  and is yet to leave the top 10 of the Billboard 200, notching 23 nonconsecutive weeks at #1.

This, making it as longest-running #1 album since Prince’s 1985 effort,  ‘Purple Rain’.

As well as this, ’21′ is the proud owner of  the top-selling digital single by a solo act in the US , with the now iconic smash ‘Rolling in the Deep’.

With over 7 million downloads in 67 weeks it is the second highest downloaded cut in US chart history, second only to  the Black Eyed Peas’ ‘I Gotta Feeling’ ,with a cool 8 million million downloads since 2009.

    She has actually sold 20 million worldwide.. By next week it will hit ’21’ million

  5. HEEEEEY April 21, 2012

    THE ALBUM HAS LIKE 3 GOOD SONGS ON THERE. ROLLING IN THE DEEP IS THE SONG THAT CARRIERS THAT ALBUM!!! I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT.

    • someone September 21, 2012

      just cuz you heard 3 songs on the radio doesn’t mean it has only 3 good songs idiot.If a song isn;t a hit doesn;t mean it isn’t any good turning tables and I found a boy aren’t number 1 hits but they are my favorites

  6. chyna April 21, 2012

    Get her worldwide sales right Queen! She has sold over 20 million ww not 15 million in little over a year. CHECK THE GLOBAL CHARTS, NOT THE LOCAL CHARTS B****!!

  7. Kareem April 21, 2012

    Adele is a product of this era. She and 4 other people can sing without autotune or computer in this aototune era. In the 80s or 90s she would not sell as much because to many people can sing in pop and r&b, just saying.

  8. Dev April 21, 2012

    @LTM & @HEEEEEY I totally agree

  9. Jay April 21, 2012

    Am i the only person that thinks this album is exteremly overrated? I mean i own a copy and its great but i really dont no how its doing this well as the are maybe 4 great songs on there and the rest are exteremly boring.. Awell im glad its adele getting this success and not some of other artists who just keeping putting out trash ft pitbull, david guetta, calvin harris ect to get a number 1 single.. Talent always wins in the end i guess! I mean adele won 6 grammys in one night for this album 😮 😮 SIX!!! The only other female to do this was Beyoncé! That says it all. Talent always wins in the end! 🙂

  10. BeyonceKnowles April 21, 2012

    Whoever wrote this post needs to go back to Journalism class.. friggin retarded incorrect grammar piece of s*** lol

  11. Speaks truth April 21, 2012

    CONGRADS TO ADELE!!!! I WONDER IF BEYONCE WILL EVER GET AN ALBUM CLOSE TO DIAMOND???? This makes me wonder since I saw Usher name up there….. Hmmmm what y’all think BEYHIVE??? THINK BEYONCE NEXT ALBUM IS HEADED DIAMOND????

  12. me April 21, 2012

    @speaks truth. yes beyonce’s 4 will go diamond by the end of the year

  13. JAKE (KING BEY, QUEEN ADELE, EMPRESS GAGA, PRINCE USHER & DUKE J.TIMBERLAKE = 21ST CENTURY LEGENDS. #DEAL) April 21, 2012

    @JAY

    CO-SIGN: 75%

    THE ALBUM, TO AN EXTENT, IS QUITE OVER-RATED IN TERMS OF MUSICALITY!!!

    THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SONGS THAT SOUND “EXACTLY” THE SAME, SEE: LOVE-SONG & ONE & ONLY, BUT IT’S AUNTHENTIC IN THE SENSE THAT SHE BROUGHT THE BALLAD BACK INTO THE MAINSTREAM AND TO THE TOP OF THE CHARTS – THE LAST ACTUAL BALLAD TO HIT #1 WAS MARIAH’S “WE BELONG TOGETHER”!!!

    #BOOM

  14. Jay Jay April 21, 2012

    I still have not purchased this album lol

  15. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 21, 2012

    i want her to RE-release “21” and call it 21 : the DIAMOND edition !! DAMN !! that will be a MAJOR.

    nothing can stop her. and she’s not promoting or s*** !! she let her work slay all by its self !! no nudity , no Controversy , no over-hyping , no shade to other artists to get attention , no nip slips in GMA or on stage , no copying from others , no gimmicks , no colored wigs , nothing !!! just ADELE and her voice !! <3<3 !!

  16. christinastherealtalent April 21, 2012

    Well I was right. I said months ago that 21 would be at the 20 million mark by spring 2012 and she did it.

    Cue the Haters. I think its funny how it only took Adele 1 album to sell 9 million in the us alone and 20 million ww and its had to take Queen of Goats 6 Cds to accomplish that.

  17. LTM (Tonight Im Dressin Up For You) April 21, 2012

    @ChrisistinasTheRealTalent
    Funny how you cant post a comment without mentioning Rihanna’s name

    abso-freaking-lutely

    Beyonce’s best is yet to come baby !

  19. virtuoso intellect April 21, 2012

    @JAY

    i agree, it’s a good album, but its nothing we’ve not heard before, the heartbreak, disgruntled ex blah blah blah but her success gives me hope that the music industry has not completely toppled over its head. I have no doubt that talent can regain hold of the charts again and its already happening with Gotye and Fun. so if nothing else, the significance of her success justifies it .. if that makes sense lol.

    I havent listened to her album straight thru in a long time but my fav track is he wont go …applies to me lol

  20. Lax April 21, 2012

    @POP ROYALTY,,,,Yeeeeessss
    @beyonceknowles,Yeeeeessss
    @ADELE,,,Keep up the great work, it goes with saying that you have
    mopped and waxed the assessss all of them and clocked them too
    dead and alive, seemingly effortless. I can see the message that
    you have sent loud and clear, and that is if you have got it, you have
    got it. And every once in awhile a golden voice come along like yours
    and the rest is history.

    It is great to see from many different ways to me. You have out sold and
    out performed all of them, showing the world that you have done it with your
    vocals, poise, charm, warn beautiful spirit, likeability, your fans don’t bash, slander or always trying to still others shine. This goes a very long ways and should serve as a reminder that if you have out sold and out song each and
    every one in the industry that tells me and many that while people or bashing
    and trying to beat others down to the white meat they had better take their booty
    shaking, and serious di*k slinging asses all the way back to the f*%***% drawing board, right Adele?. Many or on the stages acting like they or having contractions,
    and labor pains and breaking it down better than the high dollar strippers, and some of their fans want others to do the same . Many who don’;t break it all the way down like it’s haot gets crucufied because they or not popping it as hard as many of these gettoo rats think they should be doing.
    I wonder if many who dances like s**** on the stages or having a hard time selling, and those like the true r&b all the way what or they going to have to do to get people to support their efforts even more. Like moncia, mary j, jill and many others who sings r&b only what ever or they to do if they want to try and sale better???????When people love and support you with more than cursing you out on that grape juice blog, that can help a lot. Because they or hard on many of the artist and have all kinds of reasons as to why they did not sale. They say that micro wave and gimmicky music isn’t the thing any more than what do Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, taylor, nicki, keri, cici, kelly, and countless others to do to pick up on their selling power. It seem that there is a hard push for the many black artist in r&b to really sale limke they used to sale, and it does not seem real, i mean what can all of these artist do, i mean for real? It make you wonder what is selling better, and what do they need to do in the future when they drop music, No wonder
    BEYONCE IS TRYING FOR ANOTHER BABY!!!!

  21. KatyCat April 21, 2012

    I cant with this b**** slaying every artist on Gods green Earth. That Adele reigin just wont let up

  22. Lax April 21, 2012

    THIS IS JUST ADELE’S TIME!!!!!

  24. Lax April 21, 2012

    PERHAPPPPPPS RITA ORE WILL BE GROOMED JUST RIGHT
    AND SHE CAN STAND STILL LIKE ADELE WITH JUST A STAGE, MIC AND HER BAND AND DO THE SAME THING, AS ADELE HAS DONE AND KEEPS DOING, AND THAT IS SELLING AND SENDING EVERYBODY AND THEIR DOG AND CAT BACK
    TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
    HMMMM IT’S FUNNY HOW THE LITTLE D**KS RUSH AND SWEEP UP ALL OF THE TOP ARTIST, QUICK AND PRAISE THE HELL OUT OF ALL OF THE “TOP” TO TRY AND STAY ABOVE THE “PREY” THESE OR THE LEADERS OF THE LITTLE D**K GUTTER TRASH, BLOG THUGGGGGGGS, JUST SAYING!!!!CALL NO NAMES BEAR NO BLAME AND IF THE SHOE FIT THEN WEAR THAT SUCKER!!!!

  27. PrettigurlrockD April 21, 2012

    Really proud of her success. She delivers quality in every aspect so hopefully this should open doors for more talented artists.

  28. Stevie April 21, 2012

    And that, my people is how you SLAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

    Run tell Christina Angleera, Jessie J, Beyonces (the over sanging, doing too much, no real lyrical contenters) Britney, Madonna, Rihanna, Gaga & Katy Perrys (limited vocal gimmickers) to saat down somewhere. It is QUALITY AND CLASS OVER QUANTITY AND TRASH.

  29. Stevie April 21, 2012

    @LAX

    Yasss for the Serena reference. My two favs coming into their second season, right on time.

  30. Freddy Merc April 21, 2012

    Congrats to Adele. Although I found 19 was much better musically.

    I don’t think its fair to pit Beyonce against Adele. She isn’t as much of an authentic artist. All she does is scream stolen lyrics. Don’t be deceived because she can do it better than Katy or Rihanna. She still lacks the artisitic integrity that Adele does.

  31. Gilberto April 21, 2012

    @Freddy Merc
    “I don’t think its fair to pit Beyonce against Adele. She isn’t as much of an authentic artist.”
    Really? Because Adele has said plenty of times that Beyoncé is her icon. Queen Adele is a Beyoncé stan. She was singing along Love On Top when Beyoncé was performing it on VMA. She sang Destiny’s Child’s Perfect Man.
    She has also said that she wants to record a track with B.
    Beyoncé is as talented as Adele. Actually, Beyoncé is way better performer than Adele, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kesha, Britney, Christina and others. DEAL.
    You’re a basic b****. STFU.

  34. TheMan April 21, 2012

    Musically Beyonce is nowhere near Adele. Adele is amazing and she has a way better tone. This album is awesome. It’s fresh and deserves to keep on selling. All of you haters need to close your mouths. You ought to be proud that an album is selling so well. Beyonce is just not there musically when it comes to Adele. Adele draws you in with her vocals, like a real artist should. This album is far from overrated. It’s a masterpiece. She has many great songs on this album. Notice how most of Beyonce’s stans aare yapping becaus eshe couldn’t and won’t achieve a feat like this lol. Go ADELE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. Stephen April 21, 2012

    @Theman: the “tone” thing is a matter of opinion most times, boils down to tastes and it’s subjective. And vocally, Adele can’t mess with Beyonce. Musically, yes she can be considered “better” than Beyonce, but not vocally

  36. Legendtina April 21, 2012

    @Stevie
    Christina has no real lyrical content but Adele does? Please slap yourself. And I cant with you putting Jessie J’s off key horrible singing ass in the same sentence as Xtina and Beyonce

  37. COOKIE – DIVAS – RIHANNA, TONI B. April 21, 2012

    Totally overrated!!! Jazmine Sullivan >>>>>>> Adelle any given day. Bye girl.

  38. Stephen April 21, 2012

    I guess people will always need to compare artists all the time. At least if u must compare artists, let them be contemporaries who debuted at or around the same time. Beyonce is 16years in the industry or at least 15. Adele is 5years old in the industry, so need to compare them

  39. popeye’s chicken, biscuits and gravy April 21, 2012

    @the man

    hit the nail on the head. Lol. And the delusions that beyaki’s 4 or any other record she put out will do as well is so funny. Lmao! If she couldnt do adele numbers with the album her biggest hit “single ladies” was on. That feat wont happen. Reality check.

  40. Katy+GaGa=Queens April 21, 2012

    SFTTR and RITD are the only good songs off that album. The album lacks versitality.

  41. Katy+GaGa=Queens April 21, 2012

    Death @ Beyonce fans thinking she will ever acheive Adele like numbers!!! And they call the RihtardNavy delusional

  42. Teacher April 21, 2012

    Congrats Adele!

  43. Roman April 21, 2012

    How many times has Beyonce been sued for plagiarism on her albums and videos???. All she does is put her name on the credits of other peoples production and pays them to keep quite. She has been doing the same thing since Dangerously In Love days, and the reason 4 flopped was bcos Beyonce has failed to evolve musically the way the likes of Rihanna have…

    Beyonce has a voice, nobody can deny that. But Adele writes all of her music herself, she doesn’t just spit out albums and singles, then has a baby to promote. She’s as stale as her fashion sense #bye…

  44. virtuoso intellect April 21, 2012

    smh, must it always come down to this? but what else is new? Nobody was being anti-Adele here, just having a mature convo before your incorrigible uneducated asses reduced it to the only debate you know how to carry on – stan war. loosen up your nuts on this Beyonce ish, there are way more appropriate comparisons that can be made to Adele, morons!

  45. virtuoso intellect April 21, 2012

    right, done with this post. it’s just f*cking irritating now , every single post becomes about Beyonce. know one thing though; your incessant mention of her name do nothing but reinforce her status.

    Adele’s self-proclaimed “Ultimate fav” & “childhood inspiration” >>>>> all of your favs

    ….. and that’s what you really mad at. Now defame away, not a single middle finger is given

  46. xoxo April 21, 2012

    @roman
    although i LOVE adele, she said she wrote around 60% of ’21’. not all of it.

    why are people making this a beyonce vs adele war? when adele herself stans for B. i like both, both have talent.

  47. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! April 21, 2012

    “Someone like you” is one of the greatest songs of all time… sold more than rolling in the deep in the uk.
    Turning tables is great as is set the fire to the rain.
    One and only is great too.. hope it comes out as a single.

  48. Speaks Truth April 21, 2012

    DAYUMMMM HOW DID A STAN WAR GET STARTED!!!! I ONLY ASKED IF ANYONE THOUGHT BEYONCE WOULD GET A DIAMOND ALBUM???? DAMN NOT ADELE VS BEY CUZ THEY OBVIOUSLY LOOK UP TO EACH OTHER MUSICALLY!!! WOW ADELE FANS JUST BLEW IT OUT OF PROPORTION!!!

  49. Absolved April 21, 2012

    What in the hell does Beyoncé have to do with this? You internet trolls can’t go five seconds without stooping to sewer levels for a smidgen of attention. Using Adele to shade Beyonce and her sales is dismissible, since the truth is that your favorite ain’t coming anywhere near Adele’s numbers either.

    Seriously — I would *love* to know who some of you clowns who failed Remedial Shade 101 that are laughably bringing up Beyoncé in an attempt to be snarkly actually “stan” for (and you and I both know that it ain’t Adele, herself) so I can do a quick compare/contrast with them versus Adele too; but you cowardly p****** wouldn’t dare throw their names up at this challenge, because you know Adele’s heel crushes them like a cockroach in your mama’s kitchen too.

    LOL! You kids, and I say that because most of you are probably under 20, don’t have the wits to play these games you so often try to pull on here.

  50. MsThing485 April 21, 2012

    SPEAKS TRUTH, don’t try and play innocent now after you instigated this ridiculous Beyonce hijack. This blog is filled with Beyonce articles, the appropriate thing would be to discuss her future sales in one of them. This has nothing to do with her and you knew full well what you were doing when you just “casually” brought her up. You did that on purpose knowing what it would do.

  51. SPEAKS TRUTH April 21, 2012

    IT’S FUNNY HOW MOST OF ADELE FANS/STANS CAME AFTER SHE STARTED SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES AND SPECIALLY NOW…. ALL Y’ALL STOP STANNING FOR YOU FAV TO GO WITH THE PERSON SELLING THE MOST AND POPULARITY!!!! SO SAD SO SAD

  52. YouHaveTheRightToRemainPressed April 21, 2012

    I remembered when Adele said, I idolize Rihanna, Gaga, Katy, & Xtina. Oh wait she never said that. All I remember is Adele going on & on & on about how much she loves Beyonce, Beyonce is my idol, I love Destiny’s Child, I want to work with Beyonce, Beyonce is the best. You anti-Beyonce stans need to fall all the way back. Beyonce will always be relevant to music & she will remain your fav’s fav. Ask Rihanna, Katy, & Gaga how they feel about Bey, truth is they love her. Remain pressed & bitter knowing that the musical phenomenon that is Adele will NEVER idolize YOUR fav.

    @teacher

    exactly what u said. I remember the bey stans calling adele all out her name like “fat b****” “cow” etc. Lol. And they were the 1st to mention bey sales on here, but wanna get mad when people tell the truth.

    Adele 21 = 20mil ww
    bey 4 = 2mil ww

  59. Ugh April 21, 2012

    Adele is so overrated to me. 21 was just okay. But one things for sure Bey will NEVER sell an album like that so whoever brought that up please kill yoself…………………………

  60. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. April 21, 2012

    This fat b**** is overrated & no one will care about her after this album, like Susan Boyle it is merely HYPE

    But I will say this, I think this obese H** will end up with final sales around 25-30m ww

  61. ithink,ilive,ilove,iread u b****** April 21, 2012

    While I agree its overrated. Don’t hate you all. She is pulling those numbers. I’m not a fan I honestly don’t see the hype. I was hoping Amy was going to get it together and slay her two ranges to death lol..

    But ill give her props she doing it. I also second this as a type of Susan Boyle hype once it dies down her next album won’t do nearly as well

  62. DD1G April 21, 2012

    @popeye’s chicken, biscuits and gravy…
    Shut the f*** up and fall back before you get snatched up and hurt. Adele outsold your fav by a countryside too. Calling yourself trying to turn tables and call others out. Nah. It don’t work. You not reading the gospel nor are you running a check on anyone. Fake ass b****. Shut up.

  63. Theman April 22, 2012

    For all of you idiots talking about her first album that went platinum and is now on it’s way to being certified 3x platinum. She’ll stay doing amazing things. Her album is incredible. Jazmine Sullivan’s voice is aight but her tone is way too scratchy. Adele is far more polished and her voice is much more cleaner than Jazmine’s. As far as Beyonce goes she has a little more range, but Adele voice overall is more polished, as far as the basics are concerned she makes it look easy.

  64. PUHLEAZE April 22, 2012

    Comparing this to Susan Boyle hype is stupid. Adele’s first album is already multi-platinum. She has proven she can sell, and her second album just validates that. It only shows she still has sales momentum, unlike some fake act I know who’s album sales have been decreasing every album she releases, or another fake act I know who’s second album’s sales is like half of her debut album. Adele shows that outside the rabid stans in the blogs, there are people out there who connect with her music and they have just dismissed all the other chart tarts (and that includes you – Beyawnce – outside your rabid stans, no one else is checking out on you).

    If you remember back some months ago when Lady Gaga’s stans insulted Adele because she is fat, etc – well now, Adele has just decapitated your Caca & she is cleaning the floor with Caca’s big t***** nose.

    Worst stans in the world who utilizes insults when they can no longer defend their faves – Monsters & Beehive. Pathetic.

  65. CzarM April 22, 2012

    Keep it real: Adele’s debut didn’t start doing big numbers UNTIL AFTER the hype of 21 and people went looking to see what it was about. Adele hasn’t “proven” herself to be a mainstay at all. Right now the industry and general public just sees her as this dowdy chick who was transformed into a Cinderella “darling” to get behind and support, largely because they see everyone else doing it. I’d be willing to bet that once the hype from 21 finally fizzles out and she takes a hiatus, then come back with another album, that it WON’T come close to the business of this one.

    It’s the casual fans who are buying this album because everyone else is doing it that are keep thing afloat…and those fans will be the first to jump ship once this all gets cold. Then we’ll see what her real fan base looks like.

    Right now, Adele hasn’t proven herself to be more than a passing fad…and the Susan Boyle comparison is apt.

  66. popeye’s chicken, biscuits and gravy April 22, 2012

    @dd1g

    your an idoit and you wont snatch a thing from me freak. You don’t know anything about who my “faves” are, so stick to what is clear.

    oh and if you were refering to rihanna, yes i like her and yes adele sold more than all the gurls. Thats not my point. My point is

    1> all the stanbases should have kept this
    about adele’s acheivements

    2> the only stanbase that had to be vile and bring up their arrogant fave(self titled king b) was you fools

    3> it doesnt matter who adele outsells all the gurls are doing fine. But if u name yourself king, your sales should back that up.

    Inclosing congrats adele. Your talent and sales speak for themselves. >>> to the rest

    I love how she came along and proved everyone wrong in the f****** music industry

    Everybody’s going to the hip producers and talkin’ about how they’re so hot in the club and everybody in the industry thinks that’s what’s gonna sell… yet here she comes with something totally opposite and goes DIAMOND… LMAO

    Admiration!

    Adele struck a nerve that’s all look for example at Mariah Carey’s album Music Box it took that album nearly 2 1/2 years to be certified 9x platinum and then another nearly 3 to be certified diamond while 21 will be diamond before summer is over
