It will pass by June 1. That will get a few headlines. And bomb threats. Lol.
I think it's actually around 45k behind (4.23m vs 4.275m) so it should pass Thriller well before then - it would be a nice birthday present for her on 5th may.

What's all this about trolling/threats when 21 passes Thriller in UK sales? Does anyone really care THAT much lol....
Just wait and see what happens.........

Nobody did anything when 21 passed DSOTM or BIA.

Or are you hinting that a certain pop star's fans might take this all a bit more personally than the rest?

Yes...at the bold writing.

The Ivor Novello Awards are very high class awards for song writing and have been going for over 50 years, just look at some of the writers who have won in the past.

Richie, on the other hand, debued with 200,000 in sales but lost his chance at number 1 with the Madonna sales promotion. Last week, Nicki Minaj grabbed number 1 from Lionel with a quick hit. But now this week, Lionel’s “Tuskegee” will finally get the top spot, with 125,000 copies. No one deserves it more. And a good thing, too, since news reports suggest that Lionel owes the IRIS some back tax money.

Now let's hope for #2...or #3(Gotye could overtake her too)

I find this article amusing for some reason. This writer just sounds like a self-indulgent ass without a leg to stand on.
And the comments after. Lol.

The comments are hilarious.

"Surely it's only a matter of time before she's elected President of the United States.

What?!? Has she got a fake birth certificate as well?"

Oh and this article is good old-fashioned jealousy IMHO.

So Billboard are saying Lionel will be no 1. I guess that pretty much confirms it.

While last Friday it seemed Adele's "21" set was on course for a 24th nonconsecutive frame at the top, Richie's "Tuskegee" pulled in big sales over the weekend. Industry sources say the album sold about 125,000 copies through the week ending Sunday, April 15 -- well ahead of the perhaps 90,000 that Adele's "21" sold.

90k? If it's true, she will decrease by ~42%

So HDD was right this week, I guess :-?

Yes, I know. I'm angry, but I'm fine with it. He deserved that #1 after being blocked by Madonna and her unfair sales. I don't want to sound like a hater, but I think it was a very cheap stategy and now she pays the price.

I don't see it that way. Lionel did the promo like anyone else and sales came from it. I would rather him than Nicki.

Good sales but i'm afraid that the diamond certification might arrive later than what we thought ...
70/80k next week i think.
Now, she really need promotion, a performance at the BB awards would be perfect to boost again 21 sales.

Diamond will be towards the end of the year, Mother's Day and The BB wards are next month - but I don't think she will perform (Might at the Ivor Awards though).
