What?! a. - who cares, they are both mega successful. b. - TS hasn't had an album out since 2010. c. - i'm sure if you listend to country radio it would have been a different story |

I don't think you can really draw conclusions on who the "biggest star" is just based on what people are listening to in New York, it's not really representative of the USA as a whole.
Try spending some time in the southern states and you get a very different picture. |

New York is the type of place Adele would be big, shame you didn't visit the proper America!

im drawing conclusions from what i heard in new york, record sales, magazine covers, new articles, tv appearances etc - adele is a much bigger star in the USA
I've spent time in both New York and Nashville within the last month and you get a completely different picture in different places, country music is barely heard in New York but is huge in particular states like Kentucky/Tennessee. The market in the USA is too diverse to draw conclusions on who is a bigger star in the USA based on visiting only 1 city in 1 state. |

I spent a fair bit of time in the US myself a few times in the year and I also agree it is a very poor conclusion.

I think this post is just as shameless as the OP's so New York does now not constitute real America ergo it would play Adele is London now not Proper UK either
![]() Can't judge America and it's people on the two coasts I'm afraid... middle America gives a wider view of the country as a whole

Releasing a promotional single for a small independent movie (The Hunger Games) is 'all but vanished'?

Adele does get much more radio airplay in the US than Taylor Swift does. It's been like that for almost a year now I think, as they release airplay figures saying so.
It does depend where you are in the country though, and what stations you listen to. In urban areas you'd hear Adele even more, than in the country-side areas (or whatever they call that in the US). |
