So booyah! There is at least one more performance to go. Sure NBC could be airing RAH video, but it would still be amazing.

What channel are the Olympics on? NBC!!! Oh yeah!
Did you catch that when will that interview air? In a month?

Interview in June also. He said that as he started off four hours (four freaking hours) of an interview/news show. How is any show that long everyday? Gawd.

So if the interview/concert in June and they where talking about it. That does make me wonder if she will be at the BillBoard Awards in 2 weeks time..............

I guess that there's morning shows like that in almost every country... Anyway, I hope that Adele will at least be at the BB awards, collecting her awards! It'll be ridiculous if she won't!

Oh and it's quite interesting to see what Fall 2012 means for Adele's team?! August (Olympics), September (Bond) or something else... and TBH, I have never believed for one second that Adele meant that Bond theme, when she said that there will probably be a new song out at the end of the year!!

This is 21's lowest position so far in the Netherlands...
One more week and it'll have spent as many consecutive weeks in the top 10 as Caro Emerald's Deleted Scenes.

Rolling In The Deep is the 2nd longest charting single ever (only behind The Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling with 108 weeks).

21 should easily sell over 10mln copies this year alone. I expect her to sell over 7mln units after 6 months, so another 3 mln copies won't be a problem IMO :wink:

Moreover, she could sell 11mln+ by the end of the year 8-)

Adele is now officially bigger than Michael Jackson.

According to the latest Official Charts Company sales data, Adele’s 21 has now outsold Michael Jackson’s Thriller and, in doing so, has become the UK’s fifth biggest selling album of all-time.

As of this morning, the London-born singer’s 2011 second album has now sold 4,274,300 copies in the UK, 500 more than Thriller. And with 21 selling an average of 20,000 copies per week over the last four weeks, that lead will significantly increase when this week's final Official Albums Chart sales data is published on Sunday.

“To add to her many landmark records, Adele's achievement in overtaking Thriller in the all-time sales list is truly remarkable,” comments the Official Charts Company’s Managing Director Martin Talbot. “Thriller has long been recognised as one of the most iconic albums of all time - there is now no doubt that 21 can be spoken of in the same breath.”

It’s been an amazing year-and-a-quarter for Adele; in the fifteen months since 21 was released, it has spent 65 weeks on the Official Albums Chart, 23 of those at Number 1, and has outsold Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black to become the biggest selling album of the 21st Century, and has also overtaken the sales of such seminal albums as Michael Jackson’s Bad, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon and Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms in the UK. To put that in perspective, one in six British households owns 21. She has also won six Grammy Awards, and two BRIT Awards.

The UK’s Top 5 biggest selling albums of all-time are now as follows:

01 GREATEST HITS (1981) - QUEEN
02 SGT PEPPER’S LONELY HEART’S CLUB BAND (1967) - THE BEATLES
03 GOLD - GREATEST HITS (1992) - ABBA
04 WHAT’S THE STORY MORNING GLORY (1995) - OASIS
05 21 (2011) – ADELE
2 days earlier than I predicted. Still, it's an early birthday present for Adele and means the album is selling at a faster pace than I thought!

Bestselling solo album of all time in the UK.
so what's the next milestone? how long until she overtakes oasis??

Adele is currently at 4,275,000.

Oasis were at 4,521,000 by the end of March.

So roughly a 250k deficit. If she continues to sell at her current rate of 15k a week, it will take 17 weeks to overtake them - so around early September. Of course Oasis will have had more trickle sales so their total will rise, so it might not be until October.

21 will definitely pass (WTS) MG but it won't be as quick as some expect. Unless something gives her a major sales boost over the coming months.

Looks like Adele is most likely going to hit #5 on the billboard 200. 4 new entries above her and all looking to sell over 90k.

So she barely stayed another week in the top 5
