That Adele reign simply will not let up!

On the Hot 100, the diva’s blockbuster comeback single, ‘Hello,’ greets its 6th consecutive week on the perch.  Fending off strong competition from the likes of Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and more, managed to outdo all of the aforementioned tunes on streaming, radio, and download tallies.  Showing strong signs of doing the same again next week, ‘Hello’s performance is only matched by that of its parent album, ’25.’

With another 500,000 sold in its third week (with some reports indicating that number will be closer to 650k), the project is #1 again – besting projected new entries by Coldplay (200,000), G-Eazy (125,000), Rick Ross (60,000), and more.  These figures will be on next week’s refreshed chart.

To date, ’25’ has sold over 5 million copies.  And, at the rate it is moving units, industry analysts predict the album – released in November 2015 – will end the year with at least 7 million sold…

Mariah Carey‘s 2014 effort ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ may have scored major points on a critical front, yet it failed replicate said success where sales were concerned. Indeed, the LP (though one of our favorites of her 00’s releases) saw Mimi sweep up her lowest opening week digits to date.

Today, the star’s camp seek to revive interest in her career with a Las Vegas stint and lucrative partnerships with brands such as MAC and Game of War.’ The goal? To restore the commercial clout she’d possessed during her heyday – or perhaps more realistically following chart-wowing ‘Emancipation.’

Therefore, as she pens the new chapter of her personal  and professional life, TGJ throws on its A&R hat to share what we feel would work best for the vocal butterfly before she drops new cuts.
