But Someone Like You lyrics is about a love relationship which plenty of people can relate to. Skyfall is a Bond theme song about the end.

That doesn't mean anything.

We'll see in her next era, the 1st single will decide if she will have more hits or not. The album will sell very well regardless but some hits would be even better. If radios keep supporting her then she'll be here for a LONG time.

Radio better not be a bitch then

HOT AC and AC still played Skyfall to an extent though. Pop just was like 1000 spins and then dropped which is a shame

Yes it's a shame

Radios better keep supporting her. They should know that with some airplay she will smash with ANYTHING

Sometimes I feel radio controls too much power The songs they pick sometimes over others are just and its not even fair when Skyfall was in the top 10 but they dropped it

That's something i don't get tbh

I think payola is the reason why some artists are overplayed and not others. I almost hope Adele's label will do it

They should do it if radio is going to be a bitch like this XP I do think though that her lead single will be much better with radio this time around . But in all seriousness. If you're in the top 10 in pop you should automatically be picking up spins since the song is actually selling.

Exactly that's why i don't understand radios on this one

We'll see with her next single, they better overplay it. We need more Adele slayage

She passed 30M a long time ago. The receipts.

sales for 19 seem too low I thought it had sold well over 6 million.

It did. Since at least several months.

Please post a sales breakdown then. I don't mind changing it if ya'll provide receipts.

Updated. If anybody has any new receipts... please feel free to post them...

Legend P!nk tops 43 million albums this week but of course you won't include her.

Thanks!

congrats Taylor!!!

Taylor has 6 albums?

And you need to update Beyonces sales, 4 has sold 3 million, especially after the Superbowl.

Also, I Am...Sasha Fierce is 7.5 million and B'Day is certainly 6.5 since it sold 3.3 in the US alone.

4 is inaccurate. 2.5 million. 1.2 mill in US and 600k in the UK, where is the other million and change?

Also IASF is for sure not at 7.5 million. Maybe 7 million.
