Defiantly not. Regardless if Adele released 21 this year or not, our faves would probably have had the same outcome. Adele as a phenomenon

The end of August is the middle of 2010?
But no, I don't think the sales would be that different.

I know people are reaching with these comparisons. Child, boo.

Nope.


Apart from the fact that she's cockblocked his Grammy chances... No, not really. He's still doing his thing

She overshadowed everyone, that's it.

Not at all.

Alright, hold the **** up.

Adele, Britney, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Katy Perry were 5 different forms of pop in 2011. Add Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson to that list and you have 7 different styles of pop. to say that people were only interested in Adele is seriously ****ed up. Britney took dance pop into a more techno/dubstep area. GaGa was gothic dance. Beyonce was R&B themed. Katy Perry was pop rock and Dr. Luke pop combined. Avril was pop rock dance sprinkled on top of in depth guitar and piano songs. Kelly Clarkson had pop rock with a taste of electric pop. Rihanna self-produced part of her album and so it had some caribbean/urban feel.

Not everything in 2011 was dance-pop.

The fact that GaGa was still in the year-end top 3 made up for the fact that Adele totally decimated all of my faves sales this year.

No. My fave and her team ruined her own era.

That's not what it takes to become a legend there's more to it than just selling very well.

Sis, the Teenage Dream era was perfection.

Ya'll do know the general public doesn't see them as competition of one another like us right?. The fact that our faves sales were low doesn't have **** to do with Adele

Physically it probably didn't.

But it's certainly given the perception (mostly to people who frequent sites like this - not the general public) that the other albums flopped miserably.

and her era is still going strong
