Nowadays what Adele is doing is incredible. 4x platinum wasn't ever average. That has always been good. But it's just that album sales were high thus there were lots more certifications that were higher. Adele and Norah Jones are nothing alike. I smell a hater. Heck Beyonce's best selling album didn't even sale this fast. Adele is doing amazing. How is Beyonce's album selling now? No need to make comparisons. Alot of Bey stans have a difficult time giving artists that are having great success their proper credit. It's not too many artists that are going 4x platinum now. So be grateful that Adele a special artist is one of them.
