Not my favourite cover, not my favourite video, but atleast she's progressing with this era.

Wish the video had more energy, like she was in the studio. We'll wait and see what impact it has. Where did this premiere? I didn't see a symbol on tv, was it MTV UK?

I mean no shade but the album cover is awful!! We're in 2012, not in 1970. So boring.

So that means Adele is in 1970? :lol:

JK. I like the album. Simple yet giving the feeling of her being indestructable.

The cover is awful :-?

Where is this 'energy' she is talking about, because it certainly isn't on that cover

by **Lukasz2169** » Sat May 05, 2012 10:07 am

I'm so glad she's not following the trends... This new song is actually hot, I love it and the video is great. It's not her fault that these days 'artists' like Pitbull are smashing the charts. She's making a good music and I'm happy, I can't wait for the album. I hope she will promote this stuff, it's too early to call it a flop.
Btw, who cares about cover?!

by **musiclover2174** » Sat May 05, 2012 10:11 am

I'll definitely buy the album when it's out. Hopefully, I'll buy her previous albums too.

The era just started, you are judging way too soon.

she changed the font, it's different from all her other albums, which is the only thing I don't like on the cover :lol:

The overall updates (that Billboard counts for their Hot 100 chart) always look like this:

1. FUN. - We Are Young f/Janelle Monae: 185.236 (+ 0.073)
6. KATY PERRY - Part Of Me: 115.178 (- 2.433)
RIHANNA - Where Have You Been: 33.801 (+ 3.047)

The first number is a song's current position on the airplay chart, We Are Young is currently #1 and Part Of Me #6. Where Have You Been is not Top 20 yet so there's no chart position for it.

The second number is the audience in Millions that gets to hear a song in one week. We Are Young is heard by around 185 Million people in the US this week, Part Of Me by 115 Million and Where Have You Been by 34 Million.

The third number shows how a song's audience has increased (+) or decreased (-) compared to yesterday. We Are Young isn't increasing much anymore, it'll peak in the next few days, Part Of Me is falling like a rock already and Where Have You Been is going through the roof.

And then we get the more specific format updates (POP > RHYTHMIC > URBAN > HAC > AC) which Billboard counts for their Pop Songs and R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. They look like this:

POP:

23 = RIHANNA - Where Have You Been 3149 +284 1454 +86 23.388 +1.830

RHYTHMIC:

34 +1 RIHANNA - Where Have You Been 771 +80 415 +47 6.178 +0.492

The first number is a song's (in this case Rihanna's Where Have You Been's) chart position on the format named above, the second last the audience on that format and the last the audience increase/decrease compared to yesterday, just like on the overall chart. Unlike the overall chart these charts are not based on the audience a song reaches but the spins (how many times a song gets played) it receives though, that's the second number. This week Where Have You Been was played 3149 times by POP stations and 771 time by RHYTHMIC ones.
The third number is the spins increase/decrease = how many more/less spins it got than yesterday, 284 more spins on POP and 80 on RHYTHMIC.
The fourth number is called bullet. It shows how many more/less spins a song has got this week compared to last week (if there's no - in front of it it's always positive) and the fifth number is how much that 'bullet' has changed compared to yesterday.

Big Hoops doesn't appear on the overall airplay updates list yet, it's only listed on POP so far.
