Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ Moves Over 2 Million Copies

Published: Thursday 13th Oct 2011 by David

It is safe to say that the last year has been nothing short of a blessing for Brit belter Adele.

From releasing one of the highest selling albums in chart history to serving as an headlining act for every award show from the  Brit Awards to the VMA‘S, 2011 has been good to Ms. Adkins.

Now both she and her supporters have more cause to celebrate.

Her single ‘Someone Like You‘ has now sold over 2 million copies,  in the United States alone.

More information below…

With combined sales of 2,008,000 , the release is the highest selling single to be released by a female artist within the last year and comes after ‘Rolling In The Deep‘ became the top-selling download of 2011 with digital sales of 5.3 million.

Currently sat at #1 of this week’s  Billboard Hot 100, it bested the efforts of Christina Aguilera‘s ‘Moves Like Jagger‘ which resides at #2 and Rihanna‘s ‘We Found Love’ which holds the #7 spot.

    It’s getting interesting.’Moves Like Jagger’ is double platinum and ready to get to triple platinum by the end of the year and I think Adele will end up spending as many weeks at No.1 as MLJ did.Those 2 tracks battled for the No.1 spot throughout August, September and October and I think that they’re actually going to be around the same position in the year-end charts…Hmm…

  5. TruthTeller October 13, 2011

    Yall stay trying.

    First, how about you worry about Beyonce’s countdown which is stuck at in 100s on itunes. Or how about you worry about Party who’s not even placing on iuntes.
    Or RunTheWorld which is stuggling to reach 500K sold.

    Only Girl sold 3 Million
    What’s My Name sold 2Million
    S&M sold 3 Million

    We Found Love was just released keeps on growing on itunes, It s about to come back to #3 without promo or even a video.

    COUNTDOWN is flopping so hard it still hasn t reach the hot100.
    It is still bubbling under it like the huge flop it is.

    PARTY is peaking at #95 on the hot 100.

    i am happy adele is winning. i am happy that another fresh new artist besides BEYONCE AND RIHANNA is making it big
    she is new and fresh and it is great to have something fresh. REAL TALENT IS WINNING
    I am happy it is not Rih or Bey but someone less exposed and more mature in their music.

    ADELE IS WINNING

    her album selling more than 100 k months after release

  13. GOD’S ADVOCATE October 13, 2011

  15. brian October 13, 2011

    I can’t stand Rihanna. She is such a fake. Rihanna doesn’t publicly support gay rights in her own country, a country that persecutes gays.

  16. ERIC October 13, 2011

    This woman is unstoppable.

  17. Cocoa Dior October 14, 2011
