One: the article was written because 21 exceeded (???) Bad, Michael Jackson. We do not have an article saying that Adele beat Queen. They, of course, talked about Michael Jackson.

Two: The subject is relevant because Michael is not British like Adele. So if they want to talk about Michael Jackson, give all the information. And did You read the headline of the tabloid magazine NME?They do not talk about Bad. They talk about Adele beating Michael Jackson. Pathetic.

^^^^^^^

The report that came here was from The OCC not NME and it's up to NME what they write. If you have a problem with that then take it up with NME......

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/ ... chart.html

This says about 21 selling more than Bad but does not say about Michael not British.

You have missed the point here.

No, YOU missed the point here. Incidentally, I thought you did not want to discuss this further. I was just responding to another person about the non-British thing.

NME was just an example.

The fact is that the important thing here was saying that Adele surpassed Michael Jackson, but they pay no attention to Queen and the Queen is British. I believe it is more difficult for a non-British to do what MJ did.

Got it now, or want me to draw?

But the question here is whether that list is a fraud or not. Once these other issues will only serve to distract from the main subject, I shall not waste my time.

It's neither about Michael Jackson, nor a British/non-British making the top 10. It's about a girl named Adele, who with her second album joined legendary names with her second album. This thread is about Adele, we don't care about MJ's sales here. People who care are already discussing it in his OWN thread.

by **NorfolkScot** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:37 pm

They said about Michael because Bad at #9, if Queen was at #9 they would have said Queen in the report not Michael. Get it NOW :roll:

Will it be like this when 21 sells more than Thriller? Because it's going to happen.

by **Yoshie** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:41 pm

Oh my God, can't believe people are up in arms about this. It's not even worth any fuss or argument, the report is simply stating facts and very clearly, as well. :lol:

Anyway, it's fantastic to see Set Fire to the Rain above 160M. Good to see Rumour Has It already climbing again on US iTunes, looking very forward to seeing this song's chart performance!

Is that a promise? This is Adele's thread not MJ's - if you want to whinge and moan about the perceived injustice of it all post it in MJ's thread, please. Therefore you won't be wasting our time either.

Edit: I see you have followed my advice with a very angry post in MJs thread

. Good. Keep it there...

by **khom09** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:47 pm

Congrats to Adele for passsing Bad sales , IMO I think its impressive for MJ to have 2 albums in the top 10 considering that hes a non-british act.

Good god, people here have serious problems. This forum is about charts and sales. Do You not want to know if the list is true? If Adele has a new great record?

You people are the ones that do not forget the non-British thing.

Ok, I will not ruin the moment for you.

Be happy.

Adele the only female on that list, but they did not say any thing about it. And does it bother me? Hell NO!!!!!!

But khom09 did it the 'correct' way by praising Adele before getting in his MJ 'plug'. You, on the other hand, just blundered in with both guns blazing on Adele's thread and that is behaviour that is guaranteed to cause problems. You need to calm down judging by the language you are using on MJ's thread. Not needed. Not necessary. No-one on here has sought to denigrate MJs amazing achievements.

by **Yoshie** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 1:08 pm

Okay, I went on the NME article and NOWHERE does it say that Adele has outsold Michael Jackson, ONLY that 21 has outsold Bad. I think the Worldwide public are aware that Michael has outsold Adele comfortably.

Can we move on now?

First, I congratulate Adele in my first message.

Second, I do not rebelled against people here, but with the press.

Do not talk about my behavior as an excuse for yours.

PS: No, I'm not have spontaneous combustion.

Did You read the headline?

But I agree. we can move on now. People here are not interested.

02(03) 21 18-20k?

I'd go with 20k :wink:

.
Anyway, it must've been a very close thing between No. 1 and No. 2 because there hasn't been a big release...

Next week, I expect 21 to stay at No. 2.
No. 1 could go to The Cranberries because they have a certain comeback bonus, their last 4 albums reached the top 10 (2 of them No. 1) and sales are low atm so it isn't hard for them to sell 25-30k...

Yes I did, and you're taking it far too formally and precisely. In the article (I said article in my previous post), NME refer to 21 and Bad several times, saying that 21 has outsold it, which it has. I don't see the big deal, of course Adele has not outside Michael Jackson, that's quite blatant.

EVERYONE knows that most people only read the title. I was on twitter. Everyone writing there that Adele surpassed Michael Jackson. No word about Bad or 21.

The world press copies what the British tabloids write.

That is not right.

We can move on now?

PS: If the title is different, they probably have changed it. Before it was written only Adele and Michael Jackson.

I also don't see a thing in 21 outselling Bad:

The first 57 weeks of both albums:

Bad:
*1*-1-1-1-1-2-3-4-11-14-15-14-12-6-4-2-2-3-2-
5-7-12-10-9-9-9-12-15-25-28-30-31-26-29-32-38-46-46-
39-29-34-42-46-30-20-5-4-4-5-6-5-7-6-8-4-10-13

And than 21:
*1*-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-2-
2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-2-2-2-2-3-4-2-2-3-4-2-
3-4-8-7-9-8-9-5-6-6-6-6-1-2-1-3-4-5-3-1

21's chart run is miiiiles better :lol:

... Of course Bad had a catalog-appeal and profitted from MJ's death but still 21 will profit from other things and it will not stop selling after leaving the charts but it will also be this kind of albums to sell thousands of copies year after year :wink:
