    Get it Adele….No one is stopping her reign!

  9. JohnVidal September 18, 2011

    TGJ stuff need to get his s*** together! Adele has moved 8 or 9 million copies WW, not in the USA alone! lol
    Anyway, congrats to her. All I´m asking is a few more people as good as her that could compete in top of the charts. like 15 years ago when there were several big acts with real talent selling with these impressive numbers at the same time. This is she has it so easy to stay there forever. Apart from Gaga there is absolutely nobody else

  10. @Beyonce Is Gorgeous Is Gay September 18, 2011

    Loud is out selling the so called “CLASSIC” album “4” and it was only released a couple months ago! lol I cant!! Bey fans hang it up..Flat Screen

  11. DRB September 18, 2011

    It’s been in the top 3. It’s at 9.75 ww. 3.5 in the US. f****** retards.

  12. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) September 18, 2011

    Loud is ALREADY back ahead for 4closuredespite being released last year?

    How’s that for a humble pie TGJ?

    lmao

  14. Anne September 18, 2011

    What are the haters going to say when ‘4’ resurges similiar to the way ‘Loud’ just did? Bey is basically between singles right now. Just be happy for your fave and move on, no need to hate when all of the ladies listed above are actually doing well.

  15. TruthTeller September 18, 2011

    RUM PUM PUM PUM
    RUM PUM PUM PUM
    RUM PUM PUM PUM
    ME SAY 1 B**** DOWN

  16. TruthTeller September 18, 2011

    @ANNE
    Go sit down
    Loud didn t just resurge. It is actually one of its lowest ranking since its released in the UK.
    Loud has not spent a single day outside the top20 yet… unlike 4closure

  17. TruthTeller September 18, 2011

    Loud didn’t even see the outsideofthe top10 after its release… and as yet to see the outside of the top20

  18. TruthTeller September 18, 2011

    Loud didn’t even see the outside of the top10 until 7 MONTHS after its release… and as yet to see the outside of the top20

  19. Anne September 18, 2011

    Moving up to 16 after descending to number 20 (its position last week) is a resurgence, if you don’t believe me look up the word in the dictionary.

  20. Anne September 18, 2011

    Anyway, this is only one chart (UK). On the US chart ‘4’ is sitting in the # 9 position while ‘Loud’ is all the way down to # 40.

  21. Dezi September 18, 2011

    Alot of bey stans are attacking rihanna because beyonce flopped. They can’t attack adele at this point because that would be silly – so they wanna drag rihanna and jump on adele’s boat when in reality they need to be dragging beyonce becuae she’s is not living up to her titles would be talking MAJOR S*** if beyonce’s album was doing as well as adele’s and you know it. You bey stans need to quit riding on other artist coattail when they are doing better then beyonce – jump offf and stick to your flop.

  22. TruthTeller September 18, 2011

    LMAO
    Too bad it look like this week 4closurewon r even make it into the top15 in the usa either.
    ALREADY!

    OUCH

  25. nice_gurl September 19, 2011

    Congrats Adele….but I still can’t believe she’s selling that amount of albums when the album is just slightly above average.

  26. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS. September 19, 2011
