Adele has been the name on everyone’s lips for the last two weeks.
The diva’s colossal return, as reported here, saw her newest release ‘Hello’ say hello to new VEVO and digital sales records and, as a result, become the expected chart-champion for this week’s refreshed Hot 100.
Falling far from short of expectations, the tune ousted The Weeknd from his 6-week chart reign at the top by moving over 1 million in downloads across last week and selling nearly 4 times as much as its nearest competitor, Justin Bieber‘s ‘Sorry’ (which shifted an impressive 277,000k its first week). Following at #2, ‘Sorry’s premiere on the charts marked the first time two non-U.S. acts debuted at #1 and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same week (second time overall following the 2003 #1 and #2 debuts of Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard‘s inaugural singles).
And, while Adele’s debut adds some much needed estrogen to the tally’s upper dectet, it’s still very much a man’s world. See what we mean below:
Hello is boring and too many people jump on the bandwagon….. 🙁
I can’t listen to Adele whining and crying about a man throughout the whole album. Adele’s music is depressing.
Taylor who?
Poor Riri, nobody wants to buy her music anymore. 3 flopped singles are the red flag that you should scrap this album totally.
Gaga is next! They should make a move to Vegas before it is too late. Their time is up.
Wow you’re even hating on Adele now? Yes I know it’s you that pressed Madonna Stan who always trolls Mariah Carey and Janet posts with various troll accounts.
Rihanna delays new album because of Adele….
😆 😆 😆
I don’t blame her, i would to she would be embarrassed with Adell possibly rocking a mill first week (shakes head disbelief) off a so what song 🙁
Riri needs to wait. Just like other peasants of pop. 🙁
I’d illegally download both and use that money to buy myself some lunch, lol.
There is no competition. Adele is going to blow everybody out of the water 2015-2016 including Christina, Rihanna and Gaga…
Justin and Adele are both killing the game along with the weeknd… Adele season will last till 2017 mark my words. Bye haters and race debaters ha.
Lol smh. Such a flip flopping, band wagon, low self-esteem, bum b^*_#. Aren’t you the same one that said Adele was overrated. B^*”#, stop trying to fit in, and be yourself.
I couldn’t pick a more exciting time to check up on the music scene again. I wonder is ’25’ will have longevity like ’21’ did
*if

Lol you have some nerves calling other artist local when ciara’s highest selling album sold 5 million worldwide and all together with all of her flo albums she sold a combined sells of 7 million worldwide (and dont bring up that 23 million records sold b******* because she havent sold that much considering alot of her singles fail to chart worldwide)
2 white folks singing R&B music & slaying the actual black artists that created the music.
Arent you a monica hood rat stan? Lmaooo your one trick pony fave been flopping post 1998 so i dont know why your here
What is it about white people being motivated to buy music from other white people that prevents black people from doing the same with black artists? How sure are you that the people buying Adele’s music aren’t a multiracial fan base or market? Is it fair to reduce Adele’s palpable talent to “white folks who sing RnB”? Also, is it wrong or immoral for white artists to sing a genre which is predominantly not for white people? Finally, (assuming you are black) do you actually/usually BUY music made/performed by Black artists or do you pirate it?
Congratulations to Adele
Pigdele is so boring.
The general public said the samething when art hérpes was released in 2013
jazz album is more boring. so?
Everything in the top 20 is trash esepcially that fat sloppy polar bear looking p** adele
Rihanna must be feeling stupid for releasing those 3 dust-collecting singles. 🙁
“Sorry” is my jam, but I just can’t with how no black women were in the promo video. It has me feeling some type of way. I feel the same for Drake’s “Hotline Bling”.
Damn it thank you ADELE!
She already blocked the first pure crap-like song/artist with her new era. Thank you girl. Counting on her to block whatever crap is released by Ariana, Rihanna and the likes in upcoming weeks/months.
Now the only thing we need is some more like her, like it used to be when music industry was alive.
