Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ Lands Atop Billboard Hot 100

Published: Wednesday 7th Sep 2011 by Rashad

‘Rolling In the Deep’ songstress Adele is still rolling out the hits from her latest blockbuster album ’21’.  No stranger to a growing number of accolades and achievements, the British beauty adds one more to the list as her latest single, ‘Someone Like You’, is now #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Billboard reports:

Adele‘s stark ballad “Someone Like You” bounds to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, vaulting 19-1 with dual Digital and Airplay Gainer honors.

“Like” leaps 11-1 on Digital Songs with 275,000 downloads sold (up 191%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. On Radio Songs, the track blasts 42-19 with 46 million all-format audience impressions (up 59%), according to Nielsen BDS.

In addition to ‘Someone Like You’ dethroning ‘Moves Like Jagger’, the song’s parent album, ’21’, moved an additional 154k units this week (securing the #3 spot) and raised its overall tally to 3.3 million after just 28 weeks!  Looks like it’s the Adele reign that just won’t let up.

  16. lol September 7, 2011

    well i guess we can tell who the viewers of the VMAs thought had the best performance and overall showing ( you can always tell who had the best performance by seeing who had the biggest boost in music sales afterwards , clearly Adele )

  17. Que_Baby80 September 7, 2011

    Lol I live….still no Beyonce????? Oh well…..;-)

  18. TALENT + SOUL = KING BEY & QUEEN ADELE September 7, 2011

    KING BEY = “STINGING THE F***” OUT OF REAL, 21st CENTURY CONTEMPORARY MUSIC!!!

    ‘ICant…

  19. lol September 7, 2011

    now she just needs to put a video for the single and release ‘set fire to the rain” or “dont you remember” as a single and she will recieve DIAMOND status ,trust

  20. King B September 7, 2011

    This song totally deserves this.

  21. TALENT + SOUL = KING BEY & QUEEN ADELE September 7, 2011

    SET FIRE TO THE RAIN IS “EPIC”, “RUMOUR HAS IT” GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS – THE SONGS PRODUCTION JUST BLOWS ME AWAY & “DON’T YOU REMEMBER” IS THE MOST SHORT, SIMPLE AND GORGEOUS BALLAD I HAVE HEARD SINCE MARIAH CAREY’S “MINE AGAIN”!!!

    ADELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS IS SPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!

    IT IS SO REWARDING TO SEE AN ALBUM OF REAL PASSIONATE AND GENUINE MATERIAL DOING THIS GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. Aaron September 7, 2011

    I can’t believe how many albums she is selling in the US! Another 154k. Exceptional. She is more popular and successful than Leona! So pleased for Adele, she deserves it.

  26. PopCulture King aka Jamir21: IStan4 Mike,Madge,Rih,Brit,Bey,Gaga,Mimi & Nicki !!! September 7, 2011

    @ POp Royalty F*** OFF F***** !

  27. Auntie Jackie September 7, 2011

    B**** is unstoppable. That is a GREAT song, and I didn’t think they were going to release it. I’m happy for her, and for music. I can say that she looked very nervous, and I’ve seen her perform it much better than on the VMA’s, but she still killed.

  28. Auntie Jackie September 7, 2011

    I’m an Amy Winehouse stan, so I’m always going to wish Amy was dominating up there with her, but they respected each other, so I’m happy for Adele.

  29. Eric September 7, 2011

    Amazing news and just after two weeks the ballad conquered the other side of the Atlantic.
    Congrats also to Gaga for having her 11th consecutive top ten hit single! =)

  32. Ghetto Fab September 7, 2011

    GODELE continues to SLAY the lesser girls! Who Mad?!?!?

  33. kerron September 7, 2011

    Oh lord when you guts think about it this only works in two ways either you have high album sales and low single sales cuz everyone already got the song on the album……..but this b**** done sold 10 million world wide and volts to number 1 with 275,000 sold…….who in the world does not have this album……i dont want to say it but imma need to see some receipts LOL

    but im so happy for adele…this is pure talent…nothing s*** about it…..she is selling her life story that so many of us could relate to….

  34. Anne September 7, 2011

    Congrats to Adele! I really love ’19’ (especially ‘Cold Shoulder’, ‘Melt My Heart To Stone’, and ‘Best For Last’) and ‘He Won’t Go’ is still my fav from 21 but now my list of favs from ’21’ is growing to include ‘SLY’ and ‘One and Only.’ Hope either ‘He Won’t Go or ‘One and Only’ will be released as a single. I think ‘One and Only’ would be another huge hit for her.

    @ Poop Royalty OKAY YOU MIDDLE EAST PEST !

  41. nice_gurl September 7, 2011

    Congrats Adele, Christina and Maroon 5. Also to Bey who also has Love On Top entering the charts, without it even being a single. Am glad that people are still supporting good music.

  42. Those That Cannot Do, Stan September 7, 2011

    Congrats! She’s killing em!

    As much as music has changed to focus on performance and entertainment over musical quality I love to see someone put all the b******* to the side and SING.

    She’s amazing. Everyone’s got a style but I’m loving the absence of p**** popping and booty dropping.

  43. ㄕѺㄕ 尺Ѻㄚムしイㄚ ( 尺ŲÐ乇 乃Ѻㄚ ) September 7, 2011

    @THOSE THAT CAN NOT DO , STAN :

    yes ! i think adele is the only one i see to realize that singers make songs for EARS not for EYES ! SHE KEEP THE CLASS IN THIS GAME !

    I LOVE HER ! her success has a lot of meanings !

  44. eightiesbaby8030 formerly known as Holla September 7, 2011

    I love that Adele is bringing real music back to the top of the U.S. charts. We needed her bad!!

  45. Rich September 7, 2011

    I forgot to comment on this lol

    I’m happy for her!

  46. A Nu Day Has Come September 8, 2011

    You b****** can’t stop real music! Keep liking the stupid s*** all you want to! At this point you may as well rename the Grammy’s , the Adele Awards! This is so surreal right no! An actual album with a real voice, singing real lyrics, an album with a real meaning to it?? Well ladies and gentlemen, we have finally witness one of the best albums maybe in the last 20 years or so!!

    Soon my wish will come true, s*** music may finally be dying!

  47. bey’knight September 8, 2011

    wow Adele, 2011is solely your year. At this point SLY is an old song on this side, it has stayed at no1 for several weeks, highest selling single of the year(over 1 mil in UK alone) and received radio overkill, wont be surprised if it has same effect abroad. Set Fire To The Rain was a european single, it dint light up the charts like her preceeding two though

    Congrats to my fav too, im just learning of her chart position now. Love On Top to number 1 yall

  48. hahaha September 8, 2011

    ADELE THE VOICE OF THIS GENERATION!

  49. JohnVidal September 8, 2011

    Wow, can´t believe it! Congrats Adele. She is doing it big way, like in the 90´s. If only untalented people could dissapear…

  50. beyonce stans are idiots September 8, 2011

    ADELE SLAYED BEYONCE THIS ERA DAMN NOW ADELE GOT ANOTHER NUMBER 1 SINGLE . 4 HAS NO SINGLES THAT ARE NUMBER ONE , NOT EVEN ON THE R&B CHARTS. BEYONCE IS ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING TO GET SOME ATTENTION NOW. BEYONCES ALBUM IS GARBAGE AND HER BABY WONT RAISE THE ALBUM SALES.

  51. kemdale September 8, 2011

    beyonce doesnt write her own music or is she a soulful singer like adele 4=flop

  52. LAX September 8, 2011

    beyonce is washed up she steals and copys everything from tina turner and shakira and the b**** is old. adele is fresh and soulful i agree.

  53. bey’knight September 8, 2011

    at least i dont have to worry about Beyonce losing relevance, so thanks. its flattering really how much she bugs you. too bad she wont be thinking of u or number 1s from her private yacht

    Again thanks for redirecting attention towards Beyonce. love it 🙂

  54. B_STANNING AND LOVING ADELE September 8, 2011

    ADELE IS NEEDING FOR THIS MOMENT MAYBE ALL THE GARBAGE SINGERS CAN TAKE NOTES

  55. B_STANNING AND LOVING ADELE September 8, 2011

    sorry for typo meant to say ADELE IS NEEDED

  56. LMAO poor clowns, Adele makes them all look so terrible!!!!!!!!!! September 8, 2011

    LMAO.

    All Adele needs to do to get number 1 hits is sit on a chair and sing. The best part is that she doesn’t even seem to care about being number 1 in the charts (and she shouldn’t care, because that’s not what’s important).

    While people like Katy Perry, Lady Caca or Nicky Minaj have to overwork their @sses, 24/7, wear huge nasty troll wigs and stupid, lame, Halloween costumes and sing the stupidest of lyrics ever and do remixes of their singles with Flo Rida, Kanye, Missy and Britney Spars and whatnot… all in an attempt to get number 1 songs. Because it is very obvious that these “artists” (not really artists, more like manufactured clowns) only care about statistic and number 1s!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POOR F*CKING FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don’t really care for Adele’s music or her singing style BUT I respect what she’s doing and I am proud of her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  57. FlopJuice September 8, 2011

    A BALLAD atop US Chart??????????

    I’ve started to have a ’90’s retro feeling! :-)))

  58. B_STANNING AND LOVING ADELE September 8, 2011

    @LMAO POOR CLOWNS you got me ROTFLMAO

  59. Kijano September 8, 2011

    Adele sings from the heart, nothing more nothing less…

  60. THEMAN September 10, 2011

    “Set Fire To The Rain”, is amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve liked Adele since “Chasing Pavements”, which is an amazing song. Her first album is also still charting really nicely. “Someone Like You”, is classicly brilliant !!!!!

  61. Stella June 25, 2012

    THAT GIRL ROOOCKS !!! SHE IS THE BEST !! FUUCK OF THE REST!!!
