Well done Adele!!!!

Set fire sold 185,000 this week while 21 sold 96,000.

This means all 3 singles have gone to number 1 while her album is at number 1 too which has never been done before! She's got the Grammy's in a few weeks over there so her success will get bigger.

Incredible, really.


PS If you include the album sales, SFTTR actually sold 280,000 copies!

If her sales don't slow down then 21's sales figures alone could be at 30 million by the end of 2012.

This is just incredible.

She should make a video for Set fire to the rain so it sells more

Isn't it crazy how she's exploded beyond all expectation. I wouldn't be surprised if she's more than doubled XL's revenue.

First time I heard Adele was Hometown Glory in Skins. Long time now.

She's performing this on the Grammys and I think the Brits also.. her album sales are going to be consistent for another few months atleast.. I think she'll reach the 20m sales mark easy by April/May with this promotion behind her. As another poster said, she may even get close to 30m before the year is out.

I was just saying in her AT that if XL were cynical enough they could get her to sing any song off '21' except SFTTR, SLY and RITD at The Grammys and thereby guarantee 4 singles from the album at #1 the same time as the album, lol.

I don't think that'd quite work.. especially with airplay too. She's also promoted the single before her surgery so it's not surprise it's crept up the charts recently.

With the sales the song would achieve in the week following the performance I genuinely don't think lack of airplay would come into it. We would probably be looking at anything up to 500k!

She's done fine without videos thus far. It may sound weird, but I actually think without videos, it's better for Adele as it just highlights her live performances even more.

killerJoe, to be fair the SLY official video definitely extended her stay at the top of the Hot100.

i agree, she doesn't really need them. I was being a wee bit sarcastic

Hard not to read it when I'm involved with the discussion on this thread. What a nice newbie you are.. Also how can she burden your ears if you don't like her music? Who's forcing you to listen to it??
