Do we really need another thread on this?
It doesn't suprise me, in fact it's underwhelming. You'd think it would have sold far more than that.

of all the songs from her 2 albums, that's the only one that grates just a bit with me...it's just a bit too pat

and 1m really doesn't sound that many tbh

Sorry, but this comes nothing close to Adele's most prestigious record:

Number of Sausage Rolls eaten in a minute.

Unfortunately, Britney recently broke that onstage at The Femme Fatale Tour.

You thought it would have sold far more than any record has sold this decade?

Yeah because she's a huge size 14 isn't she?

To say 2011 is Adele's year is an understatement. And her success in the US is if anything more impressive than even her UK success. Her album hasn't been out of the Top 3 there since it was released in February and Rolling in the Deep is on course to be the biggest selling single of the year (unless the new single SLY eclipses it)! As the late, great David Coleman might say: Quite extraordinary.

She has built herself up to one great big height though.

No way can her next album follow this pattern. If it does however then christ, she'll be one of the biggest selling artists of all time by the age of 30.

Thing is though - IF her next album is just as good - there is no reason why people won't buy it in truck loads again. She's done the most difficult bit - getting a good second album out there. Even if her 3rd album only says say 1 million or so copies - she's still had one helluva' career

I agree and given Adele seems to have torn up the rule book I wouldn't be surprised one bit if her next album did end up outselling 21!

Me neither - people just clearly like her music, just as many don't.

Oops . last time I saw him he didn't look very well though. Apologies if you are reading this, Mr Coleman. News of your demise has been greatly exaggerated!

PS Adele is totally accepting of the probability that the new album won't sell anything like the numbers '21' has so it's not like she's getting her hopes up. Even if it 'only' sold half of the figure '21' ends up at it will still be a massive seller. But like an earlier poster said, with Adele you never know. And I'm sure the inevitable live album will be big.

Well considering the average woman in the UK is a 16 she's still no bigger than average.

If I was a size 16 think I would run and hide.

Cant say how you can say adele is an average woman, because she is not.
I am not one to make fun of womens weight but she does not represent the average women in terms of her size.
She is one big lady.

So you edited your post to removed some random website link saying women are a size 16.

Women at Adeles age that are size 16 would not be called average.

If she is average then I would call myself a stick insect and I am a size 12 which is the size that I class as average, go in any store, from supermarket to designer, size 12 is always the size that sell out fastest. The amount of times I have not been able to buy something I want because all the size 12's have gone.

Jeez, people are immature. Okay, she's no stick insect. Why should anyone care? Not that I'm even into girls but I reckon I would choose a bigger girl over an anorexic piece of nothing like Cheryl Cole any day.

To be honest, when it comes to Adele, you reveal yourself as a particularly nasty piece of work. With a total lack of an embarrassment gene and a rather suspicious penchant for bigging yourself up. You're not Edwina Currie, are you?

PS Just for the record, here you go:
