Okay…. Adele? Really!? Doesn’t everyone have this album already?
I guess not Dev ! Adele is just the best!! 😀
Adele? UN REAL!
I am so over ADELE now, sorry, this is insane! who they buying the album for? hahahahaha, NOT HATING, BUT my goodness-
Happy for Adele but I hope this thing slows down soon! It’s getting overexposed and overrated and I don’t want people turning on Adele. She doesn’t deserve it. I want her to stay hungry so the next album will turn out well too.
moved, making Adkins the only act in this week’s chart to have LP’s in the top ten.

To have-two- LP’s in the top ten.
I have Adele in constant ro in my car and on my playlist.. my mom likes her too but doesn’t have her cd. I think I’m gonna purchase it for her. I think Adele derserves it. She is clearly redefining industry standards and has a quality album to show. Reguardless of how you feel about her she’s doing it and our faves will never. #Deal 🙂
lol very appropriate pic for the topic. Adele is not playing in 2012. Starting the year off right!
I LOVE ADELE’S ALBUM!
GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE WITH ACTUAL TALENT TO BE SLAYING LIKE THIS AGAIN!
N SHE ISN’T FOLLOWING THE TREND EVERYONE ELSE IS!
@DEV
21 isnt a disposable cd that we get bored of after 2 months like 90% of the releases in 2011.
adele continues to sell more than everybody!
honestly,almost a mill copies of a year old album in one week? that’s more than impressive,ridiculous infact! kudos to her,maybe i should also get the album now? since it’s apparently THAT good! at this rate this album is gonna be on the year end chart again in december this year,probably still in the top 5! damn
Woah! Contrats, Adele!
This truly has not happened since the 90´s!!! Happy for her although it´s a little too much now. It should just start to fall from now on. it´s not like it is the best album in history
And please TGJ: how is it that Nicki Minaj is the pop´s highest selling debutante??? Did u ever hear about The Fame by Gaga? Or Alicia Keys? Or Mariah Carey? Or Whitney motherfucking Houston who´s debut album (Whitney houston) remains the best selling for a new act in HISTORY???
damn Adele gonna have the best selling album of 2012…who gonna check her..
Adele is the reason that Beyonce wants to put out two, count ’em, two albums this year. Bey and Adele are on the same record label and Adele is currently the industry darling. Everybody knows that Beyonce does not like female competition and thinks there is only room in this business for one diva and industry darling and that is Beyonce, herself.
I guess Mrs. Knowles-Carter will have to come up with another publicity stunt to sell her two albums now that folks are so over her so called pregnancy and Blue Ivy.
REAL MUSIC BY REAL ARTISTS AND LIVE BANDS, NOT THAT GENERIC MACHINE/COMPUTER GENERATED SOUND TYPE OF MUSIC. EVEN PRINCE LOVES HER.
*I LIKE THIS* thumbsup~
This is crazy, Adele keeps on selling.
Looking thru the comments I see no one cares about how much pink friday sold. clearly that grammy performance didnt help her but as usual TGJ is on young money’s payroll. Sad.
LOVE Adele! LOVE 21, I just hope she stays hungry for the next album, she can afford to take a break & get inspired…

@ANONYMOUS
You’re dumb!!!!
Beyonce is releasing an album for 2013 and ASIB soundtrack for later this year or early 2013. Stupid!!!!!
Are you pressed? Why are you bringing her up anyways?
This is about Adele and the album is very good. Glad sh’e slaying
Thats right Adele !!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t hate on her selling powers. The best thing is she can sing!!
not the first album to do so only the first to do so this late in it’s chart life Mariah Carey’s Daydream sold 760k the week of Christmas 1995 or the Bodyguard soundtrack sold a million copies Christmas week 1992 granted. Adele deserves the success she’s a talented young woman and by the way Beyonce’s version of the A Star Is Born soundtrack won’t do anything just look at Barbara Streisands the title song sold more than the soundtrack did
in this day and age where people rarely buy music anymore, thats 1 bad b****! well done adele, a REAL artist.
Adele is refreshing. No gimmicks, heavy marketing, tons of dancers or gyrating to sell her music. Nice to see the industry is rewarding real artist and real music again.
I think our ears are getting tired of the bubble gum pop and auto tune mess.
How many copies did BeYAWNce’s album sell this week?
Damn Adele! 21 has some legs, it just keeps
Going!
@JER why don’t u go and check it is still selling without any controversies and using people and gimmick too get that top spot
so she is doing damn well b****….
Adele.. I’m astounded. I can appreciate the talent and the realness as an artist. Been waiting for music like this for a long time. “Never mind I’ll finde someone like you” and can we enjoy this wonderful news without the mention of other “artists” please.
I still dont know who is buying this album…..LOL.
She is kick a** and taking names….Im proud of her. But again, i dont know who is still buying this album.
She might take over 2012……#BadBitchStatus
And why…oh why is Beyonce is being brought up??? Oh yeah, because she’s Beyonce….
HOW IS ADELE DOING THIS!
That means that 21 has sold more thhan 19,4 MILLION COPIES.
In the era of digital piracy!!!! Unbelieveable…. It would have been about 100 MILLION copies 20 years ago????!!! OMG. She just RUNS the world!!!
