They may not have an official name but they are the driving force behind one of the highest selling albums to date.
For it seems that when it comes to fan support, there is no greater fan base that of Brit Soul diva Adele because much to the delight of XL Recordings, her album ’21‘ is the highest selling album in the world again.
For the 18th time.
Find out more below…
With 217,000 units sold this week, the total sales figure for ’21’ are now 7.94 million copies and combined with what her debut effort ’19’ sold this year, the performer has shifted a mind blowing 9.5 million records in just seven months.
All without the aid of controversial tactics which have been the backbone for many of her lessor competitors.
Below her is Beyonce‘s ‘4′ which has now sold a total of 908,000 copies globally in less than three weeks. With 165,000 units sold this week alone , ‘4’ should reach the 1,000,000 copies sold mark within the new few days if sales remain consistent.
Lady GaGa‘s ‘Born This Way‘ is this weeks #3 with fans around the world buying 152,000 copies of the album placing it 15 chart positions above Rihanna‘s ‘Loud’.
The album, which spawned the singles ‘Man Down’ and ‘Only Girl In The World’ moved 42,000 units within the last seven days surpassing the efforts of Jennifer Lopez‘ ‘LOVE?’ which came in at #24 with 34,000 copies purchased around the world in the last week.
Let’s all raise a glass to the success of authentic talent.
Most. Hilarious. Title. EVER.
keep up the good work bey. i cant believe they said u would flop. HA! pick your face up off the floor haters
Alrigh now Bey. 908,000 copies sold. Will reach the million mark soon. Get them girl
I KNOW TGJ AINT THROWING SHADE AT ADELE WITH THAT TITLE??? LET ME FIND OUT THEY MAD TOO CAUSE SHE NOMINATED IN EVERY CATEGORY FOR THE VMA’S……LMAO!…
ANYWAY….YES BEY 908,000 AND COUNTING….1 MILLION NEXT WEEK? HEELL YES!!
Adele eats everything.
LOL i wonder where those Rihanna stans & that Perry person are. They kept saying ‘4’ will flop WW but its already close to a million and its only been 3 weeks!
As Bey says, “What Goes Around, Comes Back Around”!
I think adele’s label is pulling a def jam and buying her record. I don’t know a single person with her album besides myself and I know alot of people. I hate what the music industry has become shipments rule instead of the actual sales number. We are forced to listen to certain acts now…when the independent artist are struggling and they have more talent then most commercial artist…but then again an generation that deems lady gaga,Britney,kesha,and Rihanna as talented…go figure
Sam posted “Let’s all raise a glass to the success of authentic talent”
the only artist u mentioned there that is not talented is Rihanna. We’ve seen her live, she can’t sing or dance! But she’s definitely got talent for being s***..LOL
@Blah b**** Blah
Adele’s music appeals to people all ages..so that includes your grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, teenages etc.. LOL
where as Rihanna’s, Kesha’s, Katy’s & Gaga’s music only appeal to teenagers and those in their twenty’s

LMFAOOO! *Eats* I Can’t
#KingB2011
WOW! I am impressed! Congrats, Adele!
Dead at this post headline. Y’all stays taking shots at Sumodele’s weight. At least she’s slaying
EATS ?!! REALLY BOO , REALLY !!!?
the whole charts craziness should stop cuz it started to get painfully annoying !!!
Yea, and Loud has already sold 5 million. A feat faster than any beyonce album EVER on that chart and more than double what 4 will do in total lol.
True Talent always comes out on top, right? 😉
Congratulations to Adele but SERIOUSLY??
At the rate that she’s going in 5 years she’ll probably outsell Thriller lol
LOUD was released in November 2010 <—–
sold WW : 5 MILLION ! 5 million in 9 MONTHS !
BORN THIS WAY was released in march 2011 <—-
sold WW : 5 MILLION ! 5 MILLION IN 4 MONTHS !!!!
do i have to mention that gaga's career is only 3 YEARS
AND RIHANNA'S CAREER IS 6 YEARS !!! SMH !
RIHANNA'S WW SALES AIN'T S*** !
i love her though ! but rihanna stans should really stop posting stats of her sales cuz you embarrassing her and yourselves !!! for real !
@Haiku you are delusional! Thriller is untouchable. Thriller has sold 110 million copies worldwide.
lol,MARYANN,All of Beyonce’s last 3 albums before “4” sold faster and MORE than 5 million ww,she’s probs gonna stale at those numbers,if she’s selling 40k per week! so sit! and talent rihanna? LOL
AND RIHANNA STANS SHOULD LEAVE THE “B WORD” OUTTA THEIR MOUTHS !! LIKE FOR REAL ?!! you comparing a rihanna’s album to beyonce’s ! the Queen mutha ?!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/JrJeter2/BeyonceDustGrammys.gif !
stay maaaad !! 😛 !
‘4’ is a mega flop!
Worry not about Beyonce. She is well respected and is known for a lot in music. What is rihanna known for for 6 yrs in music? i was watching the rockstar use up some drums and is wondering do her fans really think that was cool. it was embarrassing to watch. that was awful.
anyway congrats b, still waiting for the promotion. i can’t believe people are comparing an icon to an amateur.
I have the album it is good but not “the greatest thing ever” IMO. I think that the music buying population is always looking for the great WHITE hope…have you noticed how it’s always the WHITE artists that dominate charts? If it’s not Norah Jones its Taylor Swift, if not Swift it’s Amy Winehouse if not Winehouse it’s Susan Boyle if not Boyle, it’s GaGa if it’s not GaGa it’s Adele…I think you get the idea. Having said that big up’s Adele at least it’s not Kesha.
Sidenote: Another big up to Rihanna and Beyonce who seem to be the only BLACK artists doing it big world wide.
yall can STAY mad AT RIHANNA for having one of the best selling albums of the year, bwahahahhahahah!!!!!
BWAHAHHAHA
A Rihanna Stan talking? Lmao
That title is shady
Hmmm… good chart positions, not a good title.
@ BEYSTANBISH
A Rihanna Stan talking? Lmao
*************************************
LMAOOO
BEYONCE has surpassed all of your expectations… Some Rihanna Stan said it would not reach 850k this week…. It passed it b******!
Press relief hotline.
1-800-HELP-ME-IM-PRESSED!
If 4 was to flop it sure would have already did! You mad? 1 million ww next week let’s go BEYHIVE…. and keep voting for BEYONCE in the FEMALE category where some of these stans fave was not nominated!
^^^^
My fav wasnt nominated :/
LOL @ YALL PRAISING 1 MILLION WW!!! I CAN’T!!
I JUST CAN’T!! NOT EVEN GOLD IN THE U.S.!! YES I LOVE “4” AMAZING CD, BUT WE ALL KNOW COMPARED TO THE SUCCESS OF ‘LOUD’, LOUD TAKES THE CAKE!!
LOUD, 1.3 MILLION U.S., 3.5 MILLION WORLDWIDE WITH 1.4 MILLION SOLD IN THE U.K.
OHHHHHHHH OKAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but you really CAN NOT compare week sales of albums released last month with albums released last year………………………..
I can’t believe Adele’s album is still selling so many copies. Congrats to her and Bey and anyone else who made the top 10 this week. 4 is such a great album, but must I say if you’re thinking of buying, you have to get the deluxe cause those extra 3 songs are all worthwhile.
AND YALL WANNA TALK ABOUT ADELE’S WEIGHT?
I PITY THE FOOL FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN PUT ON A HELL OF SHOW IS GETTING TRUMPED BY A GIRL THAT SITS IN A CHAIR.
#NEXT
Really who is buyin Adele’s album??
I am sorry but was ‘4’ released on the same day as ‘LOUD’…surely an album that was released last year and one that was released just a few weeks ago cannot even be compared. SMH how old are some of you people?
Like I said before I congratulate both Rihanna and Beyonce for repping black folks on the worldwide chart, and I really do not see how some of you people can even pit them against each other.
©JJFAN1814- Rihanna also released 6 singles in 8 months
Who mad????
It’s an odd world where Norah Jones is classed as a “white singer.”
@Mardyfella isn’t she?…oops, but I think my point was communicated…less one person.
@Mardyfella…actually I am right…Norah Jones herself even agrees with me. Here’s an excerpt from one of her interviews with Katie Couric:
Do you consider yourself part Indian?” Couric asks.
“I grew up in Texas with a white mother,” Jones says. “I feel very Texan, actually and New York. New Yorker.”
And I am sure most people identify Norah Jones as a white woman. So once again…I congratulate any black person doing it big in what seems to be a white-owned world.
#thatisall
18th time? Damn Adele is killing it! Makes me happy because maybe with time all this foolishness in music can stop. I love a good show as muchas anyone but lately no one is letting their music stand on it’s own two legs and just do the damn thing.
Make fun of Adele’s weight, make fun of her chair, she’s beaten so many others the world would declare Queen and the funny thing is whenever she slips she rebounds right back unlike others who slide down the charts.
You know MTV put out an article yesterday where they call out My peers for making fat jokes about Adele….Maybe some of y’all should read it….
^^^
I read it. It makes Monsters look hella bad
4 is just a flop. After all this time it only sold 900k copies ww(INCLUDING US). FLOP FLOP
It’s believed that record labels have boosted first week album sales for years, all in an attempt to dictate public perception, and in turn, raise an artist’s profile. But, are the majors now boasting fan/follower counts on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter?
That’s exactly what’s happening, according to Boston-based viral marketing firm ViralMS (ViralMS.com), which offers a service that allows users to purchase Facebook “fans.”
Last Thursday (July 14), popstar Rihanna made headlines when she surpassed Lady Gaga to become the most popular female on Facebook, boasting over 40.6 million fans … and to date, has reached 41.1 million.
However, was the singer’s numbers juiced for publicity, and to dictate popularity in the social media world?
ViralMS confirmed to BallerStatus.com that their “Buy Facebook Fans” service (ViralMS.com) was purchased for Rihanna’s official Facebook page (Facebook.com/Rihanna), just one day before she overtook Lady Gaga and made headlines.
We’ve obtained a snapshot of the transaction details of the order from the company’s Paypal account (see here ), which shows that an order was placed for 100,000 fans — the number Rihanna had passed Gaga by, at the time of our report — for the cost of $7,799.
While ViralMS could not confirm who placed the order (due to privacy policy), they suggested the possibility that it was either a crazed fan, or Rihanna’s camp/label. It’s likely that the latter would be the logical answer.
Apparently, this is a normal practice …and ViralMS has been offering it to high-profile clients since their launch in 2008. They say the “more fans they have the more popular they appear.”
“We have a wide demographic of famous individuals who buy Facebook fans. Ever since we started the industry we have worked with high-profile actors, musicians, politicians, athletes, and even Fortune 500 companies,” a rep for the company told us.
“Humans are historically social creatures and they form friendships with other humans,” the rep added. “The Internet has given celebrities a way to really flex their muscles through social networks. The more fans they have the more popular they appear — it’s like a game to them, really.”
ViralMS claims to receive orders to boost Facebook numbers from regular individuals on a daily basis, and from celebrities “every few weeks”; and on Twitter, the orders are coming in at an even higher volume.
On Twitter, Rihanna has more than 6.2 million followers and currently ranks at #13 among all users. Lady Gaga still reigns supreme on the social media site with 11.7 followers, with Justin Bieber at #2 and President Obama at #3.
The perception of more fans/followers seems to hold a lot of weight in today’s world. If it didn’t, services like those of ViralMS wouldn’t be as successful as they are.
Inquiries to Rihanna’s camp/label for comment were not answered at press time.
4Closure FLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD
SO HARD
LMAO
4Closure
Week 1 = 511,000
Week 2 = 232000 (-50%)
Week 3 = 165,000 (- 35%)
TOTAL = 908,000
Loud
Week 1 = 406.000
Week 2 = 300.000 (-26%)
Week 3 = 243.000 (-19%)
TOTAL = 949,000
Wow, despite starting with a bigger 1st week, Bey is ALREADY trailing?
And it only gonna get worst from here as Rihanna’s most successful weeks were the weeks after her Xfactor performance so u can expect the difference to just EXPLODES within the next 3 weeks…LOUD would have DOUBLE the sales of 4closure.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So like I said, why is Bey only a 1 week wonder?
Why can t she sell in the long run?
Why is forclosure sinking faster than the titanic?
How come Sam just starts acknowledging the world charts now that Bey’s album is out?
Rihanna has been KILLING that chart for the last year and they tried to pretend the world chart didn’t exist.
LMAO!
Yall are so sad desperately over-hyping that flop!
Im tired of Adele’s ass. Please just let a krispy cream trunk break down in front of her house.
TOP THIS FLOP B****
Loud – 406.000 – (Week 1)
Loud – 300.000 – (Week 2) (-26%)
Loud – 243.000 – (Week 3) (-19%)
Loud – 278.000 – (Week 4) (+14%) – 1M mark (1.227.000)

Loud – 521.000 – (Week 6) (+27%) – 2M mark (2.157.000)
@ RIHANNANAVY
You sound so mad and bitter.
Do you actually read your own comments?
Trying to shade Beyonce when she started in a group and started putting out solo albums as a SIDE PROJECT, shading Beyonce when she has 4 consecutive #1’s and Rihanna has none, shading Beyonce when Rihanna is managed by Beys husband?
You are making NO sense.
Congratulate both ladies and moving on
because shading a woman with 16 Grammys, 4 number 1 albums who makes Forbes Rich list every year makes you sound like an IDIOT!
Loud sold more in 6 weeks than 4closure will sell in AN ENTIRE YEAR.
LMAO!
I died a that post tittle xD Hahahahaha!
@RIHANNANAVY
Tell us why youre REALLY mad!
Is it because Rihanna wasnt EVEN nominated for the “Out of Tune, Colored Weave, Insignificant Lump of Flesh and Forehead” award at the VMAs??
LMAO @ HAIKU
How about u take it to Beyonce’s fans who ve been shading Loud for the past year.
And when her album debuted, they went ahead and ran their mouth… now we see the truth.
4closure is about to be a FLOP of EPIC PROPORTION.
Its onl glory will be its 1st week numbers cus the rest of its run is gonna be a DISASTER.
Flop Singles CHECK
Flop Album CHECK
What is Beyonce’s next flop?
LOL
@RIHANNANAVY
When people talk about living legends they DO NOT mention Ms Fenty’s name…do you think musical greats or even the FIRST LADY will be praising Ms Fenty?
I think not.
Rihanna has potential and is consistent BUT she is NOWHERE near Beyonce’s level of skill and work ethic. Rihanna struggles to sing LIVE…how can a SINGER struggle to sing their OWN song live?
Besides Beyonce is Rihanna’s IDOL – she said so herself.
So shading Beyonce is not only disrespecting your fave it is also making you sound even more like an IDIOT.
sit
sit
sit
lol I could care less about Rihanna or ever Perry’s singles and albun
sales, cus honey when that autotune is unplugged and the live button is hit, EARS BLEED, so keep talking while Bey,Gaga, and Adele get respect for being REAL!
@COMMANDER OF RIHANNA NAVY
Sorry I had to pull that out! But the delusional Rihanna stans were asking for it!
@RIHANNANAVY
Beyonce “flopped” in DC as the lead singer of one of the biggest female bands ever
She “flopped” as a solo act with massive flops such as Crazy in love, Irreplaceable and Single Ladies
She managed to “flop” her way to 4 consecutive #1 albums too
Beyonce “flopped” at the Grammys and made history (what an historical flop that was)
even singing for the president with her “flop” voice
and she is currently flopping her way onset to her latest film with Clint Eastwood.
Yes Beyonce stays flopping.
#sarcasm
If you havent realized how IDIOTIC you sound by using “flop” and Beyonce in the same sentence by now then there really is NO hope for you.
@HAIKU PREACH CHILE PREACH!!!!
@JJFAN1814
One million in 3 weeks is GREAT! When Rihanna achieved the same feat her navy was going crazy! Point is she surpassed expectations! Carry on hating it will get you no where any way ! LMFAO!! who mad?? 😀 let me see someone check me!
@HAIKU
PREACHHHHH!!! HALLELUJER!!
if that’s flopping then BEY NEEDS TO KEEP FLOPPING! I like her when she flops! HELLO! lmao!
@RihannaNavy
True tea, per usual. It’s not fair to compare LOUD and 4, because 4 won’t even come close to LOUD’s sales. A better question to ask will be “Will 4 outsell Rated R?”
Seriously Beysus selling close to 1 million around the world is nothing to brag about. She used to sell that in the US alone. #flop
Reciting all of Beyonce’s PAST glories, won’t change the fact that she is FLOPPING.
She is a had-been.
SHE IS DONE
Rihanna ENDED her career.
Change the subject all u want, 4closure is still turning into a MAJOR FLOP!
I can’t at her crazy fans who were flapping their mouths about Beyonce slaying anybody in 2011. LMAO!
@ Mary
U are SO RIGHT GIRL!
I doubt 4closure will touch Rated R sales.
Rated R sold OVER 2.5 Million per mediatraffic.
4closure won’t reach 2 Million at this pace.
LOL
I feel so bad for bey. She used to ne so successful!
she needs to call her daddy ASAP.
Do You Guys think Rihanna or Beyonce care what you think……………………….Rihanna is great and so is Beyonce get over it…. How many 23 year- olds you know that make 28 million a year………………….Stop letting this evil blog bring hate out of you………..That C** juice is the lowest of blogs … instead of comparin these artist,,, how about Sam and his team put up blog stats… I would love to see how far up the list this blog with debut…….That c** juice is the ciara of blogs……..
@RIHANNANAVY
FLOP ? She will past the 1M WW in the 4th week just like Rihanna did with LOUD ! Are you trying to tell us that Rihanna was flopping too at this time ?
It’s pretty normal that Rihanna has sold more albums than Beyonce in the same period. Rihanna had two # 1 singles at this time! Beyoncé has none and yet her sales are close to Rihanna’s ! Shame on Riri…
(Sorry for my english, I’m French)
@Diddo B
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Except that LOUD sales kept on being on going up from now on… while 4closure is dropping to the floor faster than a stripper.
The fact that 4closure started with 100K lead on week 1 and is already 50K behind week 3 tell u everything u need to know.
Next week, 4closure will be 200K behind Loud.
And the week after, it ll be 600K behind Loud.
And the week after, it ll be 1Million behind Loud.
WAKE UP AND SMEEL THE COFFEE BOO
@POPROYALTY,
Can we please come back to earth.
Gaga sold 5 Million? Are u on crack?
Born This Way:
ALBUM
WEEK 1- 1,921,000
WEEK 2- 487,000
WEEK 3- 302,000
WEEK 4- 247,000
WEEK 5- 221,000
WEEK 6- 199,000
WEEK 7- 154,000
WEEK 8- 152,000
TOTAL: 3,683,000
And really, if u take away her 99cent amazon special, she goes to 3 Million.
So please boo, JUST SAY NO to drugs.
Actually, I am happy that Gaga is slaying. Lord knows delusional Behives gave her plenty of sh!t too when her album came out. They called it a flop and now they are tryna deny that the only real total flop so far this year is 4closure.
Dido B,
Well, I wish u would tell that to ur fellow Beyhives cus for the past 3 weeks, they ve been telling us how Beyonce was so great that she didn’t need singles to sell albums.
REALLY?
Maybe not to have a decent 1st week, but in the long run… she is like everybody else and needs some kind of hits…. WHICH AIN T HAPPENING FOR HER THIS ERA.
@Diddo B,
Ur English is perfect by the way.
@RIHANNANAVY
SO YOU THINK “END OF TIME” and “COUNTDOWN” doesn’t have hit potential? Lmao!
@RIHANNANAVY
She does not need hit singles to sell her album. With no hit singles, she reached out some good sales figures. They are perhaps not as impressive as those of her previous albums, whose got many hit singles, but I think she is doing well. This is not the disaster that everyone wants us to believe. We better wait until the end of the year, or the promotion of her next single before qualifying “4” as a flop.
The BIGGEST FLOP of this years is FEMME FATALE !
ALL OF THOSE RIHANNA B****** !! I KNOW SUCKS TO BE YOU RIGHT NOW ! you still mad that ADELE SITTING IN A CHAIR WITH HER CLOTHES ON >>>>>>>>>>> YOUR FAV whoring in S&M and deep -throating bannanas !!
your fav has to have a hot rapper get nominated/considered !! yes i said it !!
Umbrella ft. JAY_Z
love the way you lie ft. EMINEM
what’s my name ft. DRAKE
run this town FT kanye & JAY-Z
are her biggest hits “and got nominated because the power of the artists who’s with her “!!
the b**** ain’t s*** !!
do not ever mention the B word when your fav do not have a #1 album in her own damn country and do not have 16 grammys ! all she got is 10 #1’s hits ! anyone can et them now ! her career is S***.COM COMPARED TO BEYONCE ! she’s a flop with capital F !
at least beyonce have 4 #1 albums in US ! how many does rihanna has ?!
gaga slayed this b**** like there is no tomorrow ! in 3 f****** years !!!
RIHANNA IS A JOKE AND 70% OF HER FANS ARE RIHTARDED !!!!!! #FACT !
WHEN YOUR PRISEDENT AND HIS WIFE STAN FOR BEYONCE ! YOU KNOW WHO’S RESPECTED AS AN ARTIST !!!
RIHANNA’S 10 #1’S ARE NOTHING AFTER 5 YEARS FROM NOW ! IT’S ALL ABOUT ALBUMS ! AND RIHANNA IS NOT GOOD IN SELLING ALBUMS ! KEEP FOOLIN’ AROUND WITH THOSE LOUD SALES ! THEY ARE NOT GONNA HELP HER ! HER FANS DOWNLOAD HER ALBUMS FOR FREE !
her fans didn’t support her when she wanted to express what she went through ” rated r” !
her fans didn’t love her 100% rihanna album “a girl like me”
most of her fans are retarded and do not love her !!! they love her because she looks good in photoshoots ! no talent in that ! she’s gonna age and look like her mom in the end !
so do not compare her to one of the most respected artists ! the one who influenced rihanna ! the one without her rihanna will not be in the industry ! u see justin timberlake or usher fans do not disrespect MJ ! rihanna fans should respect beyonce ! and if anyone is flopping from today’s artists it’s rihanna !
BRITNEY had a 13 years in the business to back up her if she peed herself on stage ! and her fans are the most devoted out of all the fans cuz their fav had s***** days and they loved her no matter what ! not to mention her sales and what she did at her prime days !
GAGA : she already found her way and created a very strong fanbase that will back up her and will make anything she do goes to #1 ! she has talent “behind all of the gimmicks” to back her up !
KATY PERRY : she already found her niche and started to make pop songs that will appeal to larger fanbases ! she found her way since “California furls” and knows how to use her “talent” in writing her songs and she’s talented though ! she was a singer before we know her in ” i kissed a girl” ! so she has a talent to back up !
BEYONCE : LOLZ U KNOW IT BETTER THAN ME ! SHE’S A PAIN IN THE ASS ! SHE’S THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED B**** AMONG THEM ! i think i do not really need to mention how she’s talented ! u know it all ! but her fan base is something fierce ! her album leaked 3 weeks before it’s official release and it already gone to #1 everywhere when it was released ! now that’s an artist and her fans loved her ! no to mention “4” was a risk ! but her fans supported her ! what about “rated r ” !?
KE$HA “yes i have to mention her ” : she managed to create a character for her and it works for her ! she write her songs , plays guitar , 50% good at singing ! she got something to back her up !!!!
rihanna : what’s her talent ! she’s mostly known for looking good in photos and her hair-do’s and hair styles ! once she hit her 40’s she will vanish ! being Pretty isn’t talent , i like some of her songs and i have her albums ! but seriously ! what’s her talent ! she is not involved in the making of her materials “except rated r which flopped like a fallen rock” !! she’s barely a decent singer in the studio ! she can not dance , she looks beautiful after all that make up ! she dont focus on her voice ! she can make 234567 albums in a year cuz she’s not involved in making them ! remember how fast she finished making loud !
i do not see her becoming a legend !
she became famous because of JAY-Z guidance ! and JAY-Z IS BEYONCE’S HUSBAND ! and she was shocked when they got married ! yeah right !!!!
anyway rihanna stans need really to tone it down and see the picture clear ! cuz their fav can’t fight in this tough competition ! and everyday ! ppl start to see who’s the actual flop ! it’s not about sales , it’s not about #1′ , it’s about BEING RESPECTER AS AN ARTIST !
RIHANNA ISN’T RESPECTED AFTER 6 YEARS IN THE GAME !! AND HER FANS DO NOT LOVE HER OR SUPPORT HER IN HER BAD DAYS LIKE BRITNEY OR ANYONE ELSE AND SO FAKE THEMSELVES ! THAT’S BECAUSE THEY LOVE HER TO BE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL ! AND BEAUTY FADES !!!!!!!!! FAAAAAAADES !
CONGRATULATION ADELE !!!!!
TGJ can shade Adele all they want with that post, but at the end of the day, she has taken a HUGE s*** on your faves this year, Rihanna, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and Lady Gaga don’t stand a chance…and that’s the honest truth whether you stans want to admit it or not, Adele has been sitting in that exact same chair since November, and has slayed your faves, with only ONE f***** single! Has never left the Top 3 of the Billboard 200, and in the 7-8th month of ‘RITD’ being out, has spent 7 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100! I swear I’m not being shady, but your faves could NEVER do something like that…yes, Rihanna has the hits, but she’s not an albums artist, Bey obviously has lost some of her fan base cause these are the lowest sales of her career, so I’m not being shady, just stating facts….so yes, let’s keep talking about Adele’s chair sitting and her weight, but she is a force that cannot be stopped by your faves this year, 18 weeks atop the world chart, and 10 weeks at #1 on bb hot 200, #ImJustSayin
adele is respected as an artist !! that’s why she gets those amazing numbers ! and make fun of her weight all u want ! but NUMBERS DO NOT LIE !!
STAY MAD WITH YOUR LOUD S*** ! LOUD B****** ! RIH-TARDED H*** !
go adele ! the true talent wins at the end ! no whoring no p**** poppin’ ! no wigs , no s** driven lyrics , no electro s*** ! nothing at all ! just a chair and a mic and she shits on everybody INCLUDING MY FAV BEYONCE this year ! *takes off hat and bow down* !
adele !! you are awesome and 21 is a masterpiece ! being over-weight is not a crime but it may affect her health ! but anyway that’s her body ! and ppl already love her that way ! she will not look like britney spears if she lost weight after all ! that’s all her ! CONGRATULATIONS ADELE ! YOUR SUCCESS IS A STATEMENT !
The only woman constantly discussed on this blog that have talent is Gaga, Beyonce, and Adele. Adele is amazing. She has an amazing voice, something rare nowdays. She appeals to a much older crowd, that is why she will continue to sell. The same went for Norah jones and Susan Boyle. Putting Rihanna and Bey against eachother makes me laugh. RiRi can have all the no.1 singles ( because of Itunes only). It all goes down to talent. Something RiRi, Katy Perry, Nicki M., Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Kesha all do not have. They don’t have talent and never will. I only stan for those with talent. i won’t spend a dime on any talentless hacks.
@pop royalty (RUDE BOY) you know a lot about a person who has not made an impact on the music industry, I am just saying… You can stay whatever about RIHANNA, it wont change the fact the she is one of the biggest POP stars in the world……NO woman of color is holding the world wide pop stardom down but Rihanna and Beyonce……Now each year the black queen of pop changes among the two.06 was beyonce, 07-08 RIHANNA, 09 was Beyonce . 2010 was Rihanna, and as of right now 2011 also belongs to Rihanna until “4” bring in those sells and Hits……
Now everybody is a Adele fan. Give me a break. every year or so a Caucasian under dog come along in have a huge year… IE …..Susan Boyle, …..the world could not stop talking about how she shut Rihanna and GAGA down…..where is she now……….2012 the same will happen to Adele…
Y’all wrong for that title but head 2 Mansion Elan for a drink 2 wash down what u eat lol http://ow.ly/5KYZa

@Commander of Rihanna Navy..
It does make My fave’s team look bad.
ADELE IS SO OVERRATED IT HURTS.
SHE WILL BE REPLACED WHEN THE NEXT “WHITE SOUL SINGER” COMES OUT.
IT’S SAD THAT THE BLACK SOUL SINGERS CAN’T GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF LOVE, AND I DO NOT PULL THE RACE CARD OFTEN…
Aside from Rihanna and Beyonce, what black artists are pop enough to crossover. Its not a race thing, its a no one does what they do thing.
Adele’s fan base may be old as hell but she still has young people too.
Black soul singers? Who, Jill Scott, some Erykah Badu or Mary? When they can hit pop in the US, and actually have some international appeal, then you can b****.
Its not racial, they just do nothing outside of R&B which is pretty stale at this point commercially.

Adele is doing incredibly well and deservedly so. Her album is amazing. Many people have that album. She has sold this many units on the strength of one single Ahmazing.

all these other so called “DIVAS” and “STARLETS” don’t even qualify!!!This girl slaying EVERYBODY!!!! HBIC!!!!
Fiona Aple
Norah Jones
Amy W
Susan Boyle
Adele
= all the same elevator music, but with a wonder-hit, one or two great years, and finaly bye bye!
(the first three of the list were actually really good vocalist)
So glad she is slaying now, maybe you young ass poser can stop praising s*** music! Again real music is coming back!
Who runs the world? Adele.
I like adele somewhat but what’s gonna be her next hit single after RITD?? I think Adele got lucky. No one wants to hear anything else from her.
