Live at RAH is being shown on BBC1 in the UK on Thursday night at 10:30.

Btw, 21 is not in Top 5 on Tuesday midweeks, and has sold lower than #5 (Madonna), who has sold 6.1k as of midnight last night.

Probably lol. It seems like every single performance, regardless of what it is, sends her sales skyrocketing!

Who do you want Adele to do a song with if she wanted to?

I think a duet with Gaga would be amazing. It would also be a boost for Adele if she does collaborate with a mega star like Gaga.

I have to disagree. Part of Adele's appeal is that people view her as the anti-gaga. Raw without artifice.

Adele with Bonnie Raitt would be lovely.

Holding up nicely in the states, I wonder how long she can continue to the 100k streak.

Not so surprised that thing are now starting to drop off in the UK, sales might get a boast from the BBC showing live at the RAH but then I think we will continue to see a steady decline.

Oh and I think no is the answer to a duet with Gaga!

Haha...nice try. But no cigar


PS To be serious for a moment, I would love a collab with The Civil Wars - they are great friends anyway and it would be awesome imo (especially as Adele is getting into 'country' more these days). I'm pretty sure she will feature on TCW's new album.

Does Adele need a boost?

This from Billboard:
Nicki Minaj's second album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," is headed straight for No. 1 next week on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry sources suggest the album may sell between 200,000 and 225,000 copies by week's end on Sunday, April 8.

It would mark Minaj's second No. 1 following "Pink Friday," which climbed to the top in its 11th week on the list.

"Pink Friday" bowed at No. 2 on the chart dated Dec. 11, 2010 with 375,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan. (Its big debut was fueled by Christmas shopping as the album bowed during Thanksgiving week.) It rose to No. 1 on Feb. 19, 2011 chart, just as her "Super Bass" single was taking off.

Also on course for a high debut next week is Rascal Flatts' "Changed," which could start in the No. 3 slot with somewhere over 100,000. What will be No. 2? Most likely Adele's "21" album, which has yet to fall out of the top 10 in its entire 58-week run. (It has spent the past 18 straight weeks in the top three.)

New rock acts Of Monsters & Men and Alabama Shakes could jump straight into the top 10 as well. The former's "My Head Is An Animal" and the latter's "Boys & Girls" will sell perhaps 40,000 and 20,000, respectively.

The new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on the morning of Wednesday, April 11.

21 is still topping 100k a week.
Oh yeah! 9x platinum is right there!

I don't know if it's ever been posted on here, but heres a little weird chart that adele i also dominating.
www.metrolyrics.com think it's one of, if not, the biggest lyric site on the internet. Someone like you is most popular song by miles! Then it's call me maybe, part of me, then Rolling in the deep at #4 and Set fire to the rain at #5.
ASIF! Over a year old and people don't know the lyrics?!

No midweeks today due to Good Friday.

UK Amazon:

#2 - 21
#3 - 19

Looks like the repeat of Live at RAH on BBC1 last night DID have an effect. I wonder how it will effect the overall chart?

UK chart positions:

21 #3 (wait, what? I expected her to rise, but I never thought she'd get back in Top 3!!!)
19 #15

21 may be even higher next week due to RAH effect and The Voice!

Yes. Her RAH and Voice exposure had a big effect on the last couple of days of this week alone. 8 in mids, 3 by Sunday . 19 also, 37 mids , 15 now.
I'm still amazed at how just a bit of publicity has such an effect on albums that have been out over a year and 3 years respectively and already sold many millions.

this weeks theme on american idol is "songs of the decade" ie, 2010, 2011, and 2012. I have a feeling someone will cover Adele.
