Well Adele had 18, which wasn't big compared to 21, so she had 2 albums to fill everyone’s time. She had multiple big singles where Sam only had 1 mega hit, a good follow up and went kinda mia on the charts. People craved Adele, idk if people are craving him so much as his worldwide sells are less than Adele’s US sales.
