Adele‘s domination of the Hot 100 came to a screeching halt last week when pop prince Justin Bieber dethroned her monster hit, ‘Hello,’ after an impressive 10 week run at the top. Now, after 7 weeks, her reign over the Billboard 200 has met a similar fate.
As expected, the death of music superstar David Bowie brought with it a huge increase in sales of his legendary catalogue. In fact, not only did 10 of his titles make appearances on the Billboard 200 this week, but one of them – his latest ‘Blackstar’ – pushed Adele right out of the top spot.
This just days after Bowie made headlines for also breaking the ‘Rolling in the Deep’ diva’s VEVO record. As fans know, late 2015 saw Addy snatch the record for ‘most views in a 24 hour period’ when her videos on the streaming service amassed a collective 36 million views. This week, Bowie broke that record when his VEVO video collection surged past the 51 million streams mark in just 24 hours.
A fitting exit for one of music history’s brightest stars…

Boringdele…move on…enough of whining. 🙁
I’m sorry-she’s undoubtedly talented but this is just getting repetitive now. The same pattern of album titles-19,21, 25. The same ballads on the SAME bloody theme. The same kinda black & white/ moody videos.
This is an artist who’s just coasting on a formula that works. There’s no creative development here. She is the new Beyonce. Enough already!
She can sing but she’s probably the most overrated artist on the planet. She’s good, but not that good. They way people talk about her is like she’s the second coming of music.
I don’t agree her music is relatable she may be boring performance wise but I can’t say she doesn’t deserve success
She’ll be back #1 next week
You had me till you compared her to Beyoncé. One thing you can never take from Beyoncé is that she consistently evolved in her music with each album. Each album is sonically different from the last, from tone to music to vocals. Just overall she always does something different for herself with each project. So you tried but failed.
Boring and bland. True that. Just like Gaga’s music. They are all recycling garbage from the 80s and 90as supported by their record company and great marketing to make profits.
Bring back Mariah, Janet, Madonna, Aliyah, MJ, Cher and Kylie.
Music/artist these days has a short life span…just like Gaga. Dead after 3 years..Born This Way era. Some might lucky. Next…Rihanna.
I wouldn’t want any of her songs played at my own funeral – and I wouldn’t want to make my family suffers even more.
Next? 😆
Ritardna’s new ara…maybe 2 weeks. So, this is not so bad.
nothing against her talent wise clearly got a good voice and I really enjoyed her first album, I just think her output and range is limited and there are just too many ballads. and the lyrics make me depressed. quite frankly, she is getting boring..like mariah!
she marketed her album to those people who don’t want to live in this world anymore and those on the verge of committing. a… s******.
😉
yes, but mariah dead only after TEOM era. adele is dead after 25.
Clearly trolling Adeles only competition is herself
This album will go diamond
And u will deal
Congrats to her although I have only listened to her album once…… “Remedy” is a great song though.
–
That brings me to my attention, Tank’s new album is out today guys!!! Please listen to it.
Also prepare for more upcoming R&B releases such as Rihanna, Tinashe, Beyonce, Tweet, and Mýa. Let’s support our own and just music again.
NowPlaying: Angie Stone – “Mahogany Soul” (Album)
Like those artists in the 90s the albums sold well. The masses have a tendency to favour the familiar, though I think that people like my Grandmother who struggle to think of what to buy for Christmas and settle for buying the latest album from a new(ish) artist that Radio 2 have been playing a lot recently help keep the records selling.
That makes no sense at all.
same ol’..same ol’. next?
*Bows down* to the QUEEN ANGIE STONE ?
This song makes me cry so all the time. Darn it! ?
https://youtu.be/9PWz-NubVpM
whooo???
This is her best song. It’s so haunting. Brings back so many memories…good music!
I looooovvveee Angie Stone!!! Ledisi can SANG her ass off too
She needs to go away…like Lady Gagarbage. Period.
Was scared shed break a Mariah Record for most weeks at #1
mariah’s payola team did a good job.
k bye!
screaaaaammmm !!!! 😆 😆 😆
Adele is phenomenal & she has another great album on her hands. Y’all are just used to trashy music. Whenever, someone sales well & gains a lot of attention they are deemed other things outside of their greatness. Everything isn’t about range/power. She has a great voice/album & she makes great music. If you’ actually listened to her album you’d see that there are a multitude of different sounds on it. She’s only done a few videos anyway, and Mariah has some of the most versatile music ever so that is BS. Y’all just like that nonsense that is twerk music. By the way, her latest music video is in color.
Well I listened to 25.
All moderate speed. All close miked voice with back of a cave echo applied. All emotion-dripping. All wrapped up in herself and her emotions. Much too much long-note howling. Much too relentless. Subtle and varied it ain’t. No wit or elegance. Time to develop your music.
Y’all delusional drama queen..y’all enjoy sitting at the veranda and looking like a miserable c*nt while listening to her album called 25 cents and feeling sorry for yourself. Moron.
😆
Adele has become the current default music artist to like. By the supermarket masses. If I sound like an elitist music snob, I don’t give a sh*t.Nothing against her, but she is a case of right time right place. Just like One Direction have filled the boyband gap for 12 year old girls. I’ll stick to my 80s-90s’s slow jams.
im sure Rihanna’s new era would stay even shorter maximum..3 weeks. 🙁
That long ? ✌?️
Still it is quite impressive tho. Unlike Mariah- payola much.
🙁
She still has Grammy performance. Don’t worry. 21 is not 24 CONSECUTIVE weeks either. Anyways, Beyoncé is rumored to suprise release a new album at any time. As for this week chart:
#130. BEYONCÉ (105 weeks)
#136. IASF (96 weeks)
Look like people are hungry for Bey’s music.
Hungry so they’re buying old music? The only reason those albums are in the bottom half of the top 200 is because albums sales are LOW, so even if you sell 200 albums, more than likely, you’re chart somewhere when most are selling less than 10K a week.
Literally laughing at your reply! So… i guess not even one person buy the ‘global superstar’s” album or the”princess of R&B album”, even with the help of streaming. FYI, self-titled is 15.99. Your fav Aaliyah cant even sell 3 million (Beyoncé has 2) with the help of cassettes(cheap price).
Ummm, I dont recall seeing Loud, Unapologetic, or any Rihanna album on that list though.
Find a new excuse kii….
U used to be the truth man u just sound dumb on this statement.
Tell me how many units those Beyonce albums sold last week then get back at me. I bet it was just streams and very low sales, I betting less than a 500. Don’t come here bragging about some #130 and #136 when 21 by Adele is still in the top 20 and haven’t left the 200 in 5 years. The Pest will always try to make nothing into something.
If it’s charting, means it is still selling! Which part of it that you don’t get?If you’re betting 500 copies on that two albums, then I bet 0 copy for unapopolgetic, loud and all her other 5 albums and 0 copy for Aaliyah. When their fav flop, they will bring Adele into this. FYI, Beyoncé’s five releases had more longetivity than popstar like Gaga, Britney, Aguilera,pink, a keys, xtina and rihanna. And everyone charted longer than Aaliyah of course.
Bye troll. Show me the numbers. lol
It still sell more than those two flops regardless how many copies it sold. I’m just stating chart position and you’re seething. I CANT!
Twenty One Pilots will prob get a #1 and that excites me and surprises me. I just hope listeners get into their other songs. They’re great.
.
Bowie shows that you can make a mark in music and NOT have a #1. Also show fake fans not caring about his new album until two days after it was relased and after he died. But that happens in music, you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
.
This top 10 is pretty mixed up, sound wise.
Death! Didnt the same thing happen to Aaliyah in US, she only had a number album after her passing. As for Bowie, yes, he didnt have no.1 album before, but he had A LOT in UK. As of your so called princess, her timeless album… well you know ir right? 🙂
Exactly they delude themselves into thinking that s*** was headed for platinum before she died m
It was a great album but everyone was team brandy
Aaliyah couldnt sell 3 million even when cassettes still exist. While Rih cant go double platinum with number ones. MARK STAN FOR TWO FLOPS WITH STG IN COMMON. W Beyoncé is still charting with 15.99 and an 7 y/o album. Another one to make them seethe.
UK CHARTS:
#5 99souls feat DC and Brandy- The girl is mine (+4) 11 weeks
#34 Running(+1) 18 weeks
And soon Hymn for the weekend will be released.
** Drunk In Love was already platinum(600k) in UK
** Run The World was certified Gold(400k) in UK.
I cant at Beyoncé non promoted songs charting in the top 10 in UK.
Bowie 🙁 most of those people in that top 10 don’t deserve to be mention next, above or below D. Bowie. They aren’t worthy…
Damn… look at FOREST HILLS DRIVE jumping 15 spots to sit comfortably at NO. 16… Do I smell a double plague? Just speculating.
When will The Stink Print sis?
I’m waiting for an answer. While I’m waiting, when will Wackie go gold?
Why is Adele receiving hate? People are ridiculous smh Her music not being your cup of tea is one thing, but don’t act like she’s not talented and her albums are trash.
Jealous because their faves could never. Hell I’ll say it, OUR faves could NEVER.
I can see who actually listens to music & who picks through singles….. First off every Mariah Carey album sonically is different. True Mariah fans can tell when she sang due to her vocal styling changes through the years… She’s Pop,R&B & hip hop all in one diva!!! Adele is a bit more complacent but it’s her lane & it’s working ….
Wow that Madonna Stan is hating on Adele now?
I’m already over Adele. I can’t wait for Rihanna, Katy, and Miley to save Pop music and bring some excitement back.
Congrats on her success tho. ?
She’s not #1 in the UK either, Bowie is #1 there for a 2nd week and Adele is #3 or #4!
on the singles chart she’s not #1 eiter, Shawn Mendes and Bieber are crushing her. LOL! People are TIRED of Adele and her overrated same-old music. She sold so well in the first month thanks to hype, not because the music was good cuz it wasn’t.
As if any of your probably basic favorites were better or more successful than her… lol these people kill me.
Your basic favorite GaGa got crushed by Adele. Artflop – 2 million. 25 – 16 million. Oops 🙁
Gaga is not my fave, and that wasn´t the point. First you are hating on Adele and then you use her to bring another artists you don´t like down. You´re so pathetic and sad. Do you even have a brain?
So she didn´t break that incredible Whitney record (for its time) TGJ reported about a week ago. People need to give real information. The desire of making headlines with invented broken records is laughable. Adele is doing great enough to find big achievements in her career and talk about them.
Love or hate her, she’s the biggest artist of the past 30 years. The hell video gained 1 billion views in 88 days… Omg.
She’ll end up with 2 albums who’ve sold 30 million back to back…
30 years??? Calm down.
Once again, everyone is talking about her sales and chart positions but no mention of her music. #AllHype
People aren’t talking about Ciara’s chart position, sales, or music. #BabyMamaDrama
#ANTI still has no release date. Now twirl on that b****.
And yet that unreleased album will outsell CI-ERROR’S entire DISCOGRAPHY #WACKIE
Psh she’ll be bounce back before you know it (no pun intended) and also the vevo record wasn’t for a single video, she still holds most views for music video on 24hrs.
But can we get into how Bryson, J Cole and, Fetty are still slaying the top 20!! Especially Fetty almost 6 months after his album was released!! #Epic
Proud ofmy Justin.Its a good and bad day today
this era is boring..you guys are jumping on the bandwagon of a cow…
Revival is #11 and SOL is at #5, Selena’s 2nd top 5 hit and first solo one. Slay queen!
Why are people so mad at adele success yall need to take a chill pill people just love her songs and if they want to buy her album then what’s the problem ,what!!! People can’t listen to what they want now …yall just hating on someone else’s success
I mean, Adele has sold nearly 8 million albums in 8 weeks. I’m sure she’s not crying over falling to #2 on the BB200.
congrats to all.
