    THE LAST TIME THE BB200, UK CHARTS AND WORLD CHARTS WERE DOMINATED THIS BIG (IN THE 21ST CENTURY) WAS PROBABLY DURING THE 2000-2004 ERA!!!

    Agreed! No one can deny that Adele is slaying lives but LORD! Do we have to constantly be reminded of it?! Ugh! It’s annoying!

    I really don’t know how I am going to be able to sit through her performance at the VMA’s. If I hear that damn ‘RITD’ song one more time! Ugh!

    Where’s KELLY on the world charts? has Sam given up on the Shrine he was building for her?

    Again I ask why no Article was done on her album FLOPPING like was done to XTina, J Lo, and Ciara?

    This is why the site can’t be taken seriously.

    CONGRATS to Adele! She deserves all she is getting this woman is reminding us of what GOOD QUALITY music should sound like!

    Sorry but beyonce never dominated WW charts this way, not even with Dangerously in love. And as much as Usher was a smash in 2004. I don´t think it can be compared to Adele´s WW domination. Usher was more in the USA. I can´t think about somebody in the 00´s. Probably Gaga´s The Fame and some others. For sure I know these kind of things from Whitney, Celine, Michael, Santana, Mariah and more

    Lawd how can anyone call Beyonce boring, if there 100 female artists tagged in one post u can bet Beyonce will still be the most talked about in the comment section

  42. Those That Cannot Do, Stan August 12, 2011

    I think the question isnt why does Sam keep posting (especially since if it was Beyonce or Gaga there’d be less complaining ::side eye::) but why aren’t OTHER SINGERS impressing the music buying populace. I’ve said it before but some singers need to go back to the music because their current game plan has them straight at #’s 2, 3, 4 and dropping. They SHOULD have been able to over come Adele by now, Especially considering when her album was released but they aren’t resonating with the masses like they SHOULD be.

    For once Sam cant be blamed because there is no selective picking and choosing of facts here. Adele is simply #1 week after week.

  43. aisha aguilera keys August 12, 2011

  44. aisha aguilera keys August 12, 2011

    I’m joking, refering to the absurd issue that was brought up on The Word, although this light/dark skin issue is brought up on all the blogs I visit.

  45. Loving “4” August 12, 2011

    Happy for Bey and Adele although Im tired of hearing RITD and still waiting for the next single from Bey. ‘4’ is holding pretty strong but I’m ready for the party or the countdown or the end of time or whatever!

  46. Loving “4” August 12, 2011

    @THOSE THAT CANNOT, It’s not that deep, Adele is having her turn to shine the brightest. It doesn’t mean that the other ladies noted in the chart review aren’t getting any shine because they are. Its not about being number 1 all the time, its about being a consistent contender.

  47. KING August 12, 2011

    @Steve She is NOT like lauren Hill you have lost your f****** mind..Lauren was waking black people up from the spell that they have been trapped in for years..Adele is doing nothing musically….It’s so many black talented artist that sings much better..WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS DOING…

  48. theman August 12, 2011

    Beyonce stans are angry that Adele keeps going and going. This is amazing !!!!!!!!!!! and so is Adele !!!!!!! Mariahs” Emancipation Of Mimi”, did the dayum thang to………

  49. theman August 12, 2011

    When Sam’s congratulating Beyonce a million times sometimes without good reason, her stans don’t say that they are tired of nothing. You are tired because it’s someone else not named Beyonce that is annihalating the charts.

  50. theman August 12, 2011

    Beyonce stans GTFO this post. This isn’t about her. Don’t complain about people bringing her up when y’all are doing so yourselves. ADELE ……. Adele has one of the best albums out in quite a while. DEAL WITH IT !!! She is musically AMAZING !!!

    @theman

    shame on u i cant believe i offered you an olive branchand you resort to this , dont think cus i havent been commentin as much i dont see your comments, im gon wait til u reply b4 i go any further but seriously your credibility is waning

    @goddess adele stan

    u seem like a bandwagoner so am not even gonna discuss Adele with u but as a numbers stan if u watched/read beyonce’s interviews/ documnetary before and after the album’s release u’d know beyonce is not after commercial success this era,she has been there done that, she’s on another level and shes makin music that she wants w/o letting trends or radio decide. its not that hard to make a hit these days, look at th no1s from last 3 years, what category do most of them fit in? exactly

    beyonce is not in demand? why was her performance the highest rated period at the BMA, her 4th of july highest rated in 10 years, why did her tickets sellout in less than a minute? dont even go there cus her fans are hungrier for her more than ever she hasnt nearly done as much promo

    @the man u can read my comment to @goddess adele stan too, they shut your rubbish talk up as well

  58. that_lala August 12, 2011

    if this ain’t the new queen of pop,idk who is because these other people ain’t talkn bout nothing…

  59. YOu wish August 12, 2011

    Beyonce and Camp are deranged, if this were her stat there would be no problem.

    Beyonce ain’t running nothing but her Mother and Fathers’ fantasies.

  60. nice_gurl August 12, 2011

    Congrats to Adele yet again, Gaga, Amy and Beyonce. I think when Beyonce releases another single and video, the album will gain more sales, but that doesn’t matter anyway because I like the album and obviously people are not supporting real music.

  61. theman August 12, 2011

    At Bey’Knight as i said Bey stans GTFOH >>>>>> I knEw your policing a** was somewhere lurking do i care not at all. You offered me an “Olive Branch” really??? The F*ck R You? I’ve already dealt with you a while ago, so your small talk won’t work with as you attempt to make it work with others. I told you once and i’m saying it again. >>> GOODBYEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!

  62. theman August 12, 2011

    @Bey’Knight your comments to @AdeleGoddess or whatever have nothing to do with myself. Stay delusional.

    Lol the clowns on these sites.

  63. theman August 12, 2011

    @S*** Adele is a fat h**? Really and your an outright idiot. She could buy and sell your miserable a**.

  64. theman August 12, 2011

    @You Wish thats what i’m saying when Sam was running unnecessary Beyonce posts they were all fine and dandy, now that Adele is in a league of her own, they wanna act like they are so exhausted with her enormous success. Okay so like they tell others don’t come here then. Then they come in here oh Congrats Bey & Adele. NOOOOOO Congrats ADELE, this is her post !!!!!!! They don’t ever give credit to an artist without some how squeezing Beyonce into the mix. Now, this is to those whom it applys to.

  65. Marketing Specialist August 12, 2011

    That’s their tactic (the Camp) always associate Beyonce with who is hot,

    MJ
    Gaga
    now Adele

    if its this hard to keep her relevant…well u know #smokeandmirrors

    Adele is doing the darn thing, her song Rollin in the Deep has touched every genre, every country, there is no p poppin, hair tossin, midriffs, booty…..its real music. Can’t wait for the black artist to do the same.

    And Beyonce, for the record, hasn’t snatched Not nairy a wig, all that ‘shes coming’, Bey season, now that are lying saying no promo (she was just yappin about performing at the biggest festival in the world, BET, OPRAH, American Idol, come on that is a combined audience of MILLIONS) her music is not all that, it never was, it was catchy production and heavy visual and that formula isn’t working anymore

    Do I think Adele has staying power, I don’t know, but glad that she is on the scene and hopfully she can influence the overall direction of music and the industry to return to the less is more approach, less flash, more real music

  66. theman August 13, 2011

    I do hope that Adele’s music is a turn in the other direction of music, because it’s a great direction.

  67. NICK August 13, 2011

    baby Adele is selling like non-other honey, WOW! I just dont think it will last long tho,

  68. * August 13, 2011

    I wish someone else got this success. Adele’s music is good, but that’s it. It’s not groundbreaking or really innovative.
    Ohwell, congrats to all.

  69. theman August 13, 2011

    WHATEVER >>> ADELE’S MUSIC IS CLASSIC, IF HER MUSIC ISN’T GROUNDBREAKING THEN SURELY NO ONE ELSE’S IS EVEN CLOSE. WHO SAID THAT YOU HAD TO HAVE GROUNDBREAKING MUSIC IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE GREAT ANYWAY. HATERSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  70. Anne August 13, 2011

    All of a sudden THEMAN wants to jump on the Adele bandwagon since Kelly is nowhere to be found on the countdown and he’s crazy enough to get mad because Beyonce fans are congratulating her for still being in the countdown. There are various levels of success–right now Adele is having a huge success, but Beyonce is still having a relative amount of success with Here I Am and it is worth congratulating her, but Kelly on the other hand is having minimal to no success and THEMAN obviously is having problems dealing. It’s called a countdown to number one not just a number one and no others. Everyone in the countdown is having some different level of success if not it would stop at number one and not list the others. When I congratulate Bey and Adele it’s because I’m happy for both of them at different levels. I’ve been appreciating Adele’s voice since I heard ‘Chasing Pavements’ and listened to the rest of ’19’ and completely loved songs like ‘Cold Shoulder’, ‘Melt My Heart To Stone’, etc. Her voice is soulful and unique. I use to tell co-workers about her but they had no idea who I was talking about so I made a couple of copies of her CD and gave them out. At that time I was already a huge Beyonce fan but I was beginning to really get into Adele’s music also. As for ’21’ although it’s even more successful and everyone knows who she is I don’t like as many songs on this one as ’19’ but I do love ‘He Won’t Go.’ The point I’m making is I am really happy for Adele now that she has made it because I appreciate her as an artist overall and can remember a time when I was trying to tell others how talented she is and now everyone sees. But I’m still bigger fan of Beyonce because she’s just a great all-around entertainer and although it would be great if she could be number one all the time, that’s unrealistic, but I am happy that she is enjoying some level of success. So like I said, CONGRATS TO BEY AND ADELE!

  71. Anne August 13, 2011

    CORRECTION:
    Beyonce’s level of success is worrth congratulating, but Kelly on the other hand is having minimal to no success with Here I Am and THEMAN obviously is having problems dealing.
