Adele conquers the world with a billion plays
How many?? ![]() Quote:
From Kazakhstan to Chile, Adele's Rolling in the Deep is played one billion times. Following Adele's double win at the Ivors for the PRS for Music Most Performed Work and Songwriter of the Year, the collecting society which represents 90,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers has published records showing how far 'Rolling in the Deep' has reached around the globe. Adele has become a UK icon for her belting vocals, singular fashion and down-to- earth cockney attitude but her international success demonstrates the dominance of her appeal above and beyond what most industry experts could have ever predicted. Her music is now tracked in 170 countries, the most regions PRS for Music has ever worked in, including Kazakhstan and Chile and the album '21' topped the charts in more than 26 countries. Across Europe Adele sold hugely more digital singles in the first half of 2011 (3.22m) than any other artist, ahead of Rihanna (2.66m), Bruno Mars (2.64m) and Lady Gaga (2.36m) and she was the most successful international act in the German album charts in 2011....(continued) http://www.music-news.com/shownews.a...&nItemID=52166 |

Well done to her marketing team and record company for staggering the releases and building up the Adele mania. Had she released the singles simultaneously in the USA and UK she wouldntve had such longevity on the charts.
Her USA success is what's given her the most exposure because the whole world pays attention to what happens there. Its too big not to. |

Shes just conquered another awards ceremony with 12 Billboard awards. I dont know why the others even bother to show up.
Her dominance across the board (sales, awards, critical acclaim) which has reached every corner of the globe has not been seen since Michael Jackson in 1984. |

Whether you like her or not.
It's one hell of a success story, this doesn't happen very often |
