Adele Storms UK Big 40 Chart

Published: Monday 21st Feb 2011 by Sam

Soulful songstress Adele has much cause for celebration tonight; for following her spine-tingling BRIT Awards showing this week, she today scored four placings in the UK’s Big Top 40 Chart.

Topping the tally is the 21 year old’s live BRIT’s rendition of ‘Someone Like You’, which was made available on iTunes immediately following Tuesday’s performance. Meanwhile, ‘Rolling In The Deep’ and the studio version of ‘Someone Like You’ occupy positions #5 and #8 respectively.

Over on the Official UK Singles Chart, the singer’s sophomore LP ’21’ sits at #1 for another week, whole her debut ’19’ rests comfortably at #4.

Needless to say; congratulations are most certainly in order for the Tottenham, North London native.

How refreshing is it to see true talent back at the top?! More power to her.

  14. SWEWst February 21, 2011

    Yes! Congrats to Adele!

  15. Curtis February 21, 2011

    Rihanna’s reign ended since GaGa and Brit?

    That’s why BOTH their lead singles FAILED to go #1 in the UK? Rihanna’s killing these b****** with her THIRD SINGLE. Her first two from the album went #1 already remember?

    Hold it Against Me has fallen the f*** off! complete fail! Born this Gay has FAILED to be #1 and won’t be cause she’s sliding down the charts

    whoops! without hype Rihanna killing these b****** with her 3rd single. I KNOW YOU MAD h***!

  16. MissImpartial February 21, 2011

    What I find funny is that Sam did not mention anyone in particular when he said:”How refreshing is it to see true talent back at the top?! More power to her”.
    It could have been anyone but the Rihanna stans mention Rihanna. Does that mean you all do not think her as talented?? LOL!!!

  17. MissImpartial February 21, 2011

    @Curtis
    Yes but Rihanna was doing a lot of promo for her loud album and singles. She went to Xfactor twice meaning a gurateed No1 for both songs. Where as Brit did not promote her song whether in the US or UK.

  18. Gilberto February 21, 2011

    I’m glad to see someone with REAL TALENT topping the charts. I still have faith on music industry.

  19. Nelz91 February 21, 2011

    Adele I love her from since 21 . . .hometown glory and chasing pavements <3

  20. Cali King Bed February 21, 2011

    @MissImpartial

    Brit has never been all that in the UK if you check her stats over there so that’s no excuse. Only Girl had huge sales on it’s first week, she only did X Factor the week after.

    Also don’t be stupid. We all know who they talk about when they throw that shade and we all know Rihanna was the only other b**** at the top of the charts before hand with Loud and What’s My Name simultaneously so we can cut the “he didn’t name names” non sense. These p**** b****** can go drown themselves, they only have the nuts to talk this s*** on a blog but I’m sure every one Spam and Rent’s native lands would f*** them up for trying to act all big in person.

    Rihanna owns the UK and shits on Trinidad iTunes. She owns you two peasants now deal with it.

    That Rihanna Reign… killing these b****** on their first and overhyped singles. Shame. And people can get mad but you can’t deny facts. HIAM and BTW are both fails in the UK. And I like Brit and GaGa

  21. ITS XTINASDISCIPLE B****** February 21, 2011

    CONGRATS, SOON AS SHE LOSES SOME WEIGHT AND SORTS HER FASHION OUT SHE’LL BE A BAD BISH.

  22. MissImpartial February 21, 2011

    @Cali King Bed

    Brit has 5 NO1 in the UK and has a large fanbase in the UK she sold out 6 times the O2 arena for her concert. And not to forget Simon Cowell said he did not ever have the anticipation from the public and media coverage for another artist while coming to the Xfactor.

  23. I’ll fedex beef to your front door February 21, 2011

    I LOVE ADELE!

    HER PERFROMANCE AT THE BRIT AWARDS WAS CLASSIC.

    THEN WE ALL HAD TO WITNESS THE GOAT QUEEN AT HER RAUNCHIEST!

    WHAT A DAMN SHAME THAT WAS!!

    “ROLLING IN THE DEEP” SHOULD HAVE ENTERED THE CHARTS AT #1.

    “CHAMPION” BY CHIPMUNK FT CHRIS BROWN SHOULD HAVE AS WELL!

    THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SUCKS MAJOR ASS!

  24. trucie February 21, 2011

    “How refreshing is it to see true talent back at the top?! More power to her.” Yet you guys are just now posting on her. Ya’ll a f****** hot mess for real.

    PRAISED RIHANNA’S PERFORMANCE AT THE GRAMMYS
    _______________________________________________________
    WHAT?

    IF “THE TIMES” PRAISED THE GOAT QUEEN FOR THAT HORRENDOUS PERFROMANCE THEY MUST BE ON DEF SCAM’S PAYROLL!

    RIHGOAT HOWLS AND HISSES HER WAY AROUND THE STAGE AND THAT GET’S PRAISED?

    WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEDIA COMING TO?

    ADELE’S BRIT AWARDS PERFORMANCE DESERVES TO BE PRAISED.

    ADELE MAY NOT SHOW HER ASS AND P***Y ALL OVER TV BUT SHE IS A TRUE ARTIST!

    NOT SOME MEDIA GIMMICK!

    I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL BEYONCE COMES BACK AND SNATCHES THIS GOAT’S CHEAP DRY RED WIG!

  26. Bia February 21, 2011

    19 in 4th place? this is album … (2008) what???

    she only have good news in UK !! bahhh

    RIIHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA FOREVER <3

    Rihanna have been so good with LOUD!!! Love ya sweety!!

  27. Tha Phoenix February 21, 2011

    Actually Brit sold out 8 dates at the 02, and Gaga sold out 7…

    I’m not worried about two of my faves. But it appears others are.

    *sips Martini and goes back to newspaper*

  28. Blaa February 21, 2011

    It looks like adele just have good news in UK….

  29. Siul1 February 21, 2011

    She deserves it! Such a talented young lady! 😉

  30. Cali King Bed February 21, 2011

    Who’s worried???

    S&M just SNATCHED Born this Way’s wig on UK itunes so the stats speak for themselves. The fact that Rihanna is looking to get a THIRD number one of this album alone while GaGa can’t do it off an incredibly hyped promoted track is just……….

    the UK are sensible and won’t just eat up anything. thats why Hold It Against Me TANKED also.

  31. Kisses February 21, 2011

    Congrats to Adele. Well Deserved 🙂

  32. Liz Park February 21, 2011

  33. Jay-Jay February 21, 2011

    SAM DIDNT MENTION RIHANNA, BUT YET HER STANS DID. YOU ALL JUST SHOWED HOW YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT HER SINGING ABILITY WITHOUT EVEN TRYING..LOL. SILENCE IS GOLDEN PEOPLE.

  34. Kisses February 21, 2011

  37. Jay-Jay February 21, 2011

    @CALI KING BED

    TGJ THROWS SHADE AT MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST RIHANNA. HE COULDVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ANYONE BUT YET YOU BOUGHT RIHANNA INTO THE EQUATION. YOU BELIEVE RIHANNA HAS REAL TALENT RIGHT? SO THAT SENTENCE WOULDNT APPLY TO HER RIGHT? INSECURE MUCH 😆

  38. lola February 21, 2011

    I just have one thing to say:

    Rihanna is the best of all !!

    She can push down all !!! OOHHHHHH YEAAHHHH GET LOUD !!

    LOVE YOUUUUU RIHANNA!!!! <3<3<3<3<3

    Go smell the ass who does not like her!!

    Its the truth!!!! <3

  39. Cali King Bed February 21, 2011

    @jay-jay

    Once more IDIOT! Who has been owning the UK charts? The only answer outside Adele is Rihanna!!!!!!!!!! These other basic b****** that get shade at TGJ can’t even land in the top 75 UK chart. Your so f****** stupid. Learn to READ then we can talk about insecurities.. ROFL at your dumb ass! BACK TO SCHOOL !

  40. D.Strock February 21, 2011

    And yet she’s still practically unknown here in the States.

  41. blick February 21, 2011

    i agree, sam didn’t write rihanna name….rihanna stans think she’s a goat…i wanna see her own the charts in US when gaga, britney and beyonce are out there….she’s just a basic b**** in US so i dont care. do i have to mention the fact that even TEXAS is bigger than UK or France? i’ll give her credits when she slays gaga beyonce n britney. her last album was a huge flop, she managed to release LOUD when the trinity was on vacation. nicki minaj even went platinum before her. rihanna the goat is a joke. her grammy performance was mediocre, she was like an amateur. the girl can’t sing, can’t dance. she lies about havin bronchits while she’s totally fine. she’s a real joke.

  42. FUTURESTARdelux February 21, 2011

    No1 – Congradulations Adele this is SO deserved, she put so much effort into her (amazing) album “21” and her performance of “Someone like you” was stunning and definately the performance of the night at the Brit Awards (Followed by Plan B).
    Finally somebody with real tallent (NO RIHANNA SHADE) and artistic integrity is back on top, LOL at Gaga’s Madonna rip off being de-throned before it even got on the throne.

    No2 – i HATE that you Rihanna stans have turned this into some crazy s***, i really like Rihanna and stick up for her all the time but it’s times like this when i think y’all as crazy as they say. Adele has done nothing against Rihanna so why are you comming at her?

    @BIA, Yes “19” was released years ago and is back in the charts at No4 which is amazing and no Adele isn’t onlt popular in the UK, her new album “21” went No1 in 17 countries and her single “Rolling in the deep” went No1 in 4 countries. #StayMad

    @DSTROCK, her first album went Gold and sold 850k in the states and she won 2 Grammys.

    AND on to the Britney basher @CALIKINGBED, like i said i like Rihanna but the day a Rihanna stan can come for the highest selling female of the decade with sales of over 100,000,000 and counting is never gonna come so #SIDDOWN

  44. True Blue February 21, 2011

    Glad to see true talent on top indeed. And the best part about it is that she never had to sell out and become something she’s not to have success.

    And LOL @ the Rihanna stans unintentionally shading their own fave! Trent didn’t even hint at Rihanna, and you guys are already assuming that he was talking about her specifically. So you guys think she isn’t talented, either? LOL!!!

  45. Taylor swifts number 1 fan February 21, 2011

    Shes the first living artist to have two top five hits in both the singles and album charts simultaneously since The Beatles back in 1964

  46. delroy February 21, 2011

    S*** like this really annoys me, Adele has proved that you don’t have to go around wearing next to nothing looking like a prossie to get success (gaga, spears and the goat) her first LP is in the top5 after 100 plus weeks in the UK album chart . It’s even in the billboard top 200 again. Her new LP is no1 after 4 weeks straight on the top. The only act since a UK boyband to hold the no1 spot in the album chart for that long. Rihannas song did big because of the xfactor, lets not fool ourselves about that. the C*** sang Unfaithfull which came back in the top40 because of it. so ppl say xfactor did nothing to help her well im soz but it did. and i like the fact tht this blog can venture away from the American acts from time to time. I like music and i want to hear about acts from all over the world. Unlike U YANKS people in other countries take in music from artist from other countries.

  47. Cali King Bed February 21, 2011

    RIHANNA >>>>>>>>>>>> YOUR LIVES.

    But Adele is that b****! I love her.

  48. rihanna the goat February 21, 2011

    gaga still tops all those b******… who’s that adele anyway? i really dont like that picture. she could be my mom sister lol. its funny cause the goat stans r so pressed n mad. thats pretty normal, when u stan for untalented b******.
    im lookin forward to see that adele chick top the us charts. she topcharted in 17 countries…lol, china, kazakstan, roumania, austria, deustchland, uganda, nigeria, ethiopia, slovakia, grece, france, belgium, panama,congo, ivory coast, north korea,india

  49. True Blue February 21, 2011

    @ Daniel:

    For real?

  50. Furious Styles February 21, 2011

    Rihanna is in my california king bed as we speak! We are just sitting here laughing at you losers. Rihanna said that her fans are pathetic but keep buying her album and lining her pockets!

    While most of you fans are broke and wondering where your next meal is coming from, Rih is enjoying the lavish life eating shrimp and steak!

    So type away losers, Rihanna isn’t thinking about you!
    Now excuse us while we go back to slapping tittays!

  51. k February 21, 2011

    So happy for ma girl Adele. She is real talent and is blessed with a beautiful voice and soul. Much love to ma girl Adele.
