Adele will be #2 in singles, J Lo has won that race by a country mile.
I know I will probably get critcised for this as I don't know Adele, she can do what she likes and it's really none of my business, but I have to say I was disappointed to see her back smoking again on a youtube video in Milan.
Considering what a certain other soul diva who went massive ended up getting addicted to, I think smoking is a pretty small deal.
I think Someone Like You's had it's time at Number 1 now, and I actually love J-Lo's song so I don't mind it being replaced by that at all She better get Number 2 though!!
And I'm really looking forward to finding out how many albums she sold this week, it could be pretty massive.
I think they would still have to sell 100,000+ and not sure even the Foos could do that these days. Will be interesting all the same. But Adele is just bloody unstoppable at the moment.
I think Adele's sales might start slowing down next week though - if there's been a big Mother's Day push on top of all the other weeks of high sales then surely the vast majority of people who want the album have it by now? Pretty much all my friends now have 21.
She's clearly now selling to the people who don't normally buy music - and there are millions and millions of them to go for! But this 100,000+ per week can't keep going much longer...can it?

I wouldn't have thought so, but you just don't know, do you? She's barely decreased in sales at all after 9 weeks and that in itself creates a ton of word-of-mouth promotion. But even still, surely, surely she can't stay at number one for more than another 2 or 3 weeks? By that time it'll have been 3 months! :eek::D

Her last week sales of 156k was just 25% down on her opening week's total - 9 weeks previous! It really is absolutely crazy.
If she gets past next weeks challengers, who knows how long she can stay there?
You know, for all the discussion and sales figures we go through on here, it's incredible that, for me, at least, that song just never gets any less beautiful. I must have heard it around 200+ times now and it just never gets old. You know a song's pretty good when after 7 weeks in the top two and constant airplay you still don't want it to end.

That sentiment is shared by countless people who comment on the youtube video. Some confess to having it on repeat for a whole day at a time! There really is something phenomenal about its structure and content...clearly destined to be an all time classic IMO.

Oh, definitely. Absolutely everyone knows the song by now and barely anyone seems to not like it. The first time I heard it I was just floored by it, I'll never forget the feeling.
Digital Spy has this week's sales as over 250,000... my God! Even I wasn't that optimistic! A 65% increase from last week and it's the highest figure yet, in week 10 at number one. That is just unreal.

Any big releases tomorrow that might trouble Adele?
Katy B and Foo Fighters, I think. They could both potentially topple her.
Katy B doesn't have a big enough fan base yet for people to rush out and buy her album. Foo Fighters might do it but I doubt it.
PS No sales figures yet.

There is no stopping her
Her highest weekly total so far. In week ten. :eek::eek::eek:
Also, it's now the longest running number 1 album for 25 years. :cool:
