Its a little bit early to decide since we haven't listened to the record or seen how it did worldwide :)

Lol, that's wierd considering you are from England LOL !:D

LOL , and with holidays coming up and hopefully a video for the thrid single , prepare yourself to continue hearing adele everywhere :P

Not really though lol. Compare their first singles ;) . Katy perry's California gurls did worst than Rolling in the deep ( although it did amazingly ). Rolling in the deep has achived 5x platinum status and continues to be on the top 15 of digital charts. Soon to become the highest selling digital single of all time. On the airplay side , California girls peaked at number 1 with 140 million impressions while Adele with 169 ;) ( and by the way it was the biggest crossover hit in 20 years ). Rihanna's only girl. Rihanna's only girl has bearly surpassed the 3 million downloads mark . Adele has surpassed the 5 million ;) . On airplay side Only girl it did 130 million impressions where Adele did 169 ;). Britney's hold it against me had frontloaded sales that made it go to number one but vanish fast. It hasn't reached 2 million downloads and peaked at 88 million on airplay. Adele did better. DOH. And by the way , there are TONS of cases where the second or third single do better than the first one ;) ;) . So it's not as you make it seem ;) . Want examples ? Britney spears. Till the world ends did so much better than Hold it against me. It gave britney her highest airplay peak on her career ( that was surpassed by her THIRD single now ) and sold way more than Hold it against me. Coldplay's Viva la Vida did so much better than Violet hill Mariah Carey's We belong together did incredibly amazing and way better than the first single Beyonce's Irreplacable the 3rd single from B-day was her smash single of that era ( and career) and did way better than the 2 previous ones. So really ?. Anything newer in radio does better ? :thinking::thinking::thinking: Not really :P. By the way , rihanna's What's my name ( 2nd single from loud ) and S&M peaked higher than Only girl the first single. Katy perry's ET and Last friday night ( 4th and 5th single ) peaked higher than the first 3 . I guess you were wrong :/ :( :(

http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59476&highlight=lady+gaga There's a gaga appriciation thread if you want to :). Back on topic . Just hours ago from Adele's performance at the VMA's :P. I can not wait :P

Yep I have. I was reffering at how can you know someone is clascially trained by watching a video :).

Death at you bringing this. Who started the adele va gaga thing ? Who said gaga wasn't talented ? :thinking:. The last time I checked I only said that I prefer to hear adeles music over Katy perrys Kesha rihannas generic music . You all of the sudden brought gaga up. And yeah. She plays piano well though I don't really know how can you tell about her being technically trained. And if you are referring to their voices. Technically speaking adeles voice >>>> gagas :)

Who said you were a musical inept :thinking:. The only reason why I said " I don't know how much you know about music" was because I truly don't know if you understand the meaning of selling over 10 million albums in a calendar year. That it's infact HUGE an hasn't been done since early 00's. Where did I imply that you were an inept or an ignorant ? :thinking: About 21 release date it has different time tables. It was released in late feb / begining march . And believe me , gaga will not catch up with 21 lol. I know that 21 was released earlier but you know what ? Guess who continues to sell more week per week ? . 3 weeks after BTW was released Adele had overtaken the number 1 spot on the global charts and has been higher than gaga since then. Actually Adele has never been lower than 220k a week when gaga is struggling to hold on to 100k Im not delusional enough to think Adele is bigger than gaga. I know that gaga is the biggest media star. I know that gaga is the one who has the attention and stuff. I know that gaga has more successful singles (although RITD shits all over gagas in terms of success and someone like you will soon ) and everything. I mean we are talking about Adele. There aren't any sort of gimmicks around her. It's all about her voice . She dosnt sell her image. Her videos bearly get music videos and she dosnt want to be a star , she just wants to sing. Anyway , I don't know who bring this gaga/Adele discussion . They are both completely different type of artists. The main point of this was to say that even though Adele dosnt bring anything new to the table she still makes great music and to be honest I preffer hearing adele's songs than hearing rihannas s&m , katy perrys last Friday night or hold it against me by Britney

If you say so :) . I presonally preffer adele's songwriting and singing. I love gaga but idk. her songwriting :inquisitive: and voice is okey but nothing too special though.

Rihanna , Katy perry and Britney do music that gets stucked in your head easily. It's the point of releasing a pop song , right? :rolleyes: Well , although I do agree that Lady gaga is the biggest star ( I mean , Gaga is the biggest media star , she's everywhere: magazines , Tv shows , just everywhere. Is the biggest star overall , while Adele preffers to keep it down and only concentrate on the music ) sales tend to think otherwise :dozey: and that people listen more to adele :smug: -21 has spent more than 20 weeks at #1 Worldwide selling over 9.5 million in 6 months. I don't know how much you know about music but that's completely INSANE. It continues to be top 2 on the WW charts. Has sold the most albums in a calendar year since the early 00's AND has sold about 90 percent of what Thefame/thefame mosnter have sold ;) ( It took TF/TFM about 3 years to sell that ) . And 21 didn't have re release ;) . And It's still on it's 1st single ;) . When Someone like you explodes + holiday sales + grammy sales she will have surpassed that by far. -Rolling in the deep has sold more copies in a calendar year more than any other single digitally in history . Nearly after 5 months of exploding the single is at 5 million and continues to be top 10 on sales ;) . While gaga's biggest seller is at 6 million. Adele will surpass it in 2/3 weeks having , maybe the biggest selling song in digital music history. -Rolling in the deep has been bigger than any of gaga's singles on radio. Lady gaga's biggest airplay hit had about 120 million impressions and was Bad Romance. Adele's rolling in the deep peaked at 169 million impressions and became the biggest crossover in Billboard digital history ;) . Having said that , they are both completely different artists. Adele is more focused on her music and dosn't want her name to become a brand. Dosn't wanna tour big , dosn't seek for atenttion all times. Gaga is an attention whore and want's all the tour the attention and stuff lol.

I love how fucking flawless and beautiful she looks :) Lol , you complain about Adele being way too much overplayed ?. Come one , gaga is ten times more overplayed. Gaga is the bigger star , she's fucking everywhere. She has so much over exposure and is seeking for atenttion 24/7. And I would rather listen to Rolling in the deep than Express yourself 2.0 aka Born this way on the radio. Or turn it on and listen to Bad romance 2.0 aka pokerface and stuff like that. I love TEOG or You and I though.

It's not like now a days everyone is doing innovative stuff:dozey: . I'll rather have Adele singing songs like Rolling in the deep , Someone like you , Set fire to the rain than Rihanna singing S&M Katy singing Last friday night and Ke$ha singing Blow . I'm so happy for Adele and the success she's having. And I'm most happy that she has made this type of music and it's doing better than the likes of Beyonce Rihanna , Britney ke$ha etc :lol:

I'm so fucking excited for tomorrow's performance on the VMA's. I'm sooooo excited for the performance + award show. I love the fact that she got 7 nominations for rolling in the deep while gaga Britney etc got only 3 or 2 having many videos released :lol:

yup she will :dozey: I can imagine her being #1 and noel debuting at #2 :P

Truman show

Don't think so Mx may be the start

Hey , can you tell me where did you get that information from ?. Do u have the sales from the US and UK ?

:dance:

Not really though , I mean if you don't release albums you can not go on tour . I doubt that arcade fire with their million seller album and an ok tour got more money than Adele who sold 10 million copies in 6 months ( and continues to be number one worldwide in the album charts after 20 weeks ) and 10 million singles this year alone. Sure touring is incredibly important , but unless you are an established touring act ( like Madonna or u2) you gotta see your album doing well before you go into a big tour . Oh and by the way. Mariah Carey hates to tour yet she has sold over 240 million records and has a 22+ year career . Same with other acts

Where did you get that "more than 1 million sold" figure ?

Not to many singles have done better than Viva La vida , so why should Coldplay be worried :rolleyes: . It has incresed 30 spots on Itunes between yesterday and today and continues to gain Airplay constantly on the US charts. Over the 30 AI impressions quite good for a summerish single :cool:

Well , You are comparing different charts though. I mean peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 isn't the same as having a number one on top rock tracks. Having a top 5 on the top rock charts has become quite easy for coldplay to achieve and this days it's quite easy If you wanna compare u2's HIT songs , compare them on the billboard Hot 100 that is practically the only one that matters lol Over the 80's u2 got 12th Hot 100 entries . The ones that got to the top 40 ( that can be considerated modarate hits) are : -Pride (in the name of love) #33 -With or without you #1 - I still haven't found what im looking for #1 -Where the streets have no name #13 - Desire #3 - Angel of harlem #14 And that's pretty much it. At the begining i thought you were comparing them on the UK charts -Clocks 29 -Speed of sound 8 -Violet Hill 40 -Lost! 40 -viva la vida 1 -Christmas lights 25 -ETIAW 14 Without saying that Viva la vida ranks among the best selling digital tracks of all time and that Coldplay's digital figures are much bigger than u2's. About the recurrent airplay for u2's songs , yeah. They are played quite a lot. They used to be both , big album and single sellers , though they have declined a little bit but still fine They did have flopish albums , but they have mantained their career for 30 years that it's quite an achivement for itself. and to be honest NLOTH did amazingly for being an album 30 years after their start. IMO coldplay is a bigger band now a days but U2 are already legends lol. They can not be called as has-beens or things of that nature. Their cultural impact is bigger than coldplay's and will remain one of the most influencial bands in this times .. hopefully with time Coldplay will be able to become one of those . Which im quite sure that if they continue that way they will In the meantime they can continue to storm the music charts :cool: . Keeping the likes of Ke$ha out of the top spot:cool: And what? :thinking: I'm a coldplay fan lol. It just seemed wierd cause you put singles that hadn't chated in the UK singles charts or the US charts ( like I will follow ) , I thought you were looking at the UK OOC charts or the Billboard hot 100 charts and you weren't

Can I ask you what is your criteria for hit singles ?. I mean I will follow didn't chart anywhere , yet is a hit single ? and you are missing quite a lot of them too :\

It's not doing amazingly. It's not exploding like Viva did but hey ,the last time I checked this wasn't the album's first single Just a summerish single ;) . And btw , you will be start to hear it more often ;) . The song just reached to 30 Million impressions ( meaning that over the past 7 days the song was heard by 30 million people in the US) and continues to grow and it's holding on pretty well on the charts :cool: .

339 dollars so far Pretty good
