  3. Hating Ass B****** July 28, 2011

    Neither can Beyonce or Lady Gaga. Just be honest with yourselves haters.

  4. JLo &.Beyonce need to duet July 28, 2011

    B**** is still boring!..the UK is so wack!

  5. JJFAN1814 July 28, 2011

    Nice going Adele!!! It’s just something about soul music and people with amazing voices sell!! A la Amy Winehouse, Adele, Susan Boyle…It’s crazy! 🙂

    In a world of very bland samey music ms adele has made others think about what they put out music wise. i mean every chart i look at in different country she has made an impact especially the states where brits don’t really do well, so hats off to her and her contribution to real talent not gimmicks.

  7. A Nu day has come July 28, 2011

    This goes to show you that real music has never died, we have become robots to the main stream media machine for the enjoyable profit for corporate music industry. Adele is about to set a new standard for how to sell albums. The time is come to start enjoying authenticity again. If your favs went to remain a gleam in the public eye, they better start bringing the f****** noise, because the music you all try to perceive as any good, is becoming the s*** dried out from the sun!

    Adele thank you for proving that you don’t have to minimize your standards or your integrity to make good music! Doesn’t anyone just connect the dots? People are really tired of seeing these prostitute h*** tooting their ass in the air, and considering it talent!

    bye -bye boring ass club music, hello real music again!

    We missed you!

    THAT GIF *DEAD*

    Anyway congrats Adele, but I can’t help but wonder whether she would have been this successful if she were black. #JustAThought

    Excuse me, the Uk is wack did i just read… And I suppose American music is at it’s best yh… Do me a favour you ignorant fool… I’ve yet to hear a US album do as well as Adele’s this year… and the UK music you hear is not the UK music we hear… we have FARRR more genre’s that hit our mainstream charts than America does, don’t just rely on thatgrapejuice, that shows only the pop stuff… america is all about money (hence more successful), Uk artists do it more for the love of music, thats what it should be about… hence why Adele is happy just sitting on a stall and singing her heart out, and you’s are more focussed on selling s** and catchy ‘get on the floor’ lyrics… Cheryl cole and cher lloyd is not what our Uk music scene consists of, its only a small fraction in fact

  15. Those That Cannot Do, Stan July 28, 2011

    Lol at the GIF she’s adorable.

    P**** poppers, non singers, and gimmick riders gotta come hatmrder! Acmdele is slaying your asses! Lol, it must hurt for others to be spending millions on their image, choreographer, hair dyes/weaves and other such bs only to be trumped by a girl who only needs a mic and to SANG to break all their records.

    Good for Adele! Real talent should always be reaarded and while entertainment is good we’ve lost real singers to people who want to sell perfumes, makeup, cook books, jewelry, flat irons and do everything else but SANG.

  16. YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS! July 28, 2011

    @IT’S ALL GOOD!!!

    Damn… This bish snatched Beys wig and stomped on it lmfao.
    The TheifHive hates this girl! They can’t stand the fact that REAL music snatched the matted wig from their cochie popping fav. Beyonce 4 can’t compete with Adelle here or in the UK. So many of the “Lessers” snatched this b**** Bey in 2011 that’s I feel sorry for her.

  25. goddess adele stan July 28, 2011

    BEYONCE THIS. BEYONCE THAT. ADELE >>>>>>>>>>>> THE OVERRATED BEYONCE.

    SO GOOD REAL ARTISTS WHO CAN ACTUALLY WRITE THEIR LYRICS ARE ON TOP.

  27. goddess adele stan July 28, 2011

    DESPITE THE FACT BEYONCE HEADLINED GLASTONBURY SHE WON’T COME CLOSE TO THESE NUMBERS. HER “4” MINUTE OF FAME IS ALMOST UP. WHY DID SHE EVEN CALL HER ALBUM 4? DID SHE REALLY EXPECT TO PULL A 21? DESPERATE FLOP.

    GO ADELE. GO. WE WANT U ON TOP. I’M BUYING 19 TODAY TO SUPPORT MORE AND CAN’T WAIT TO BUY THE 2ND SINGLE LIKE CRAZY.
    HOPEFULLY SHE RELEASES IT THE SAME PERIOD BEYONCE RELEASES HERS..

  28. goddess adele stan July 28, 2011

  29. juliette July 28, 2011

    Congrats adele.

    This might be beyonce last album. I feel like she is just not really welcome anymore because her music is just basic. *coughs No Growth At All*. Adele, rihanna, gaga katy are making good music.
    How the mighty have fallen!

  30. Imgunnacheckuboo July 28, 2011

    It’s interesting to see how few records you can sell and still go platinum in some parts of the world. I understand there aren’t as many people in those countries but DAMN.

  31. RihannaNAVY July 28, 2011

    Adele is KILLIN IT.
    Ain’t it funny how TGJ called out everybody except Beyonce?

    Adele 10* platinum is just out of this world amazing. I think she’ll go as far as 15* platinum in the UK after the holidays.

    Loud is 5* platinum and I hope she can get it to 7* platinum after her UK tour. 2Million would BE GREAT FOR rIRI IN THE uk.

  32. lerena July 28, 2011

    BEYONCE THIS BEYONCE THAT BEYONCE BEYONCE …..EVERY AND I DO MEAN EVERY SITE THAT HAS ANY FEMALE ARTIST ON HATERS AND I DO MEAN HATERS BRING HER ALL UP IN THROUGH THE POSTS.

  33. MARCUS DARLING July 28, 2011

    @lerena

    True, I was on a Celine Dion video on YouTube and I swear they was talking about my KING B in the comments, makes us stans die laughing because she is the most relevant star out today, they even talking about her compared to actresses, hands down she does the most so she has by far the most haters…It’s really unfair.lmfao

  34. Cancer2youh8ters July 28, 2011

    Did it every cross your mind that Gaga and Bey’s album didn’t come out when the others did. “Hey dummies that’s why their names aren’t up there” Stupid muthafukahs, mad at Bey for no reason

  35. iloverihanna>beyonceislame July 28, 2011

    She beat amy winehouse who was 8x platinum. Wow. I only like her song rolling in the deep tho.

  36. iloverihanna>beyonceislame July 28, 2011

    Maybe now that she’s rich she can get money to fix her weight. I’m not hatin. We all know overweight celebs lose weight when they have more money.

  37. ASDF July 28, 2011

    ^ what you said was soo damn stupid “now thats she’s rich” soo you know her financial stats

  38. Imgunnacheckuboo July 28, 2011

    @iloverihanna>beyonceislame

    No one makes money from selling records anymore.

  39. 100% Real July 28, 2011

    Damn! Adele is killing it right now. As I’ve said before, she’s going to practically “own” the Grammy’s next year.
