No.

They never do.

Absolutely

I highly doubt it. 21's been a HUGE success... like words can't describe how big this era's been for her. It'll be hard for most singers to top it.

We've gone through this so many times..

If she does, our faves better run

It'll prolly be another Emanciption of Mimi/E=MC2 situation.

First album does stellar with amazing singles, 2nd album starts out really well, but can't match the success.

Hopefully I'm wrong and it's a similar success, either way, I can't wait.

No. And she shouldn't be expected to.

Nope.

21 is the peak of her career. Her next albums will do well but not as MASSIVE as 21.

Most likely not. But this is ATRL, where if you dare not match your highest peak, you are immediately labeled a flop, hasbeen, and over.

This reminds me of how people say Gaga can't top TF(M) anymore....

Adele is an excellent artist, she managed to top the great "19," I'm sure she has the ability to go higher than 21 and become the legend that she's supposed to be.

No, just like Michael didn't outdo Thriler, Shania didn't outdo Come On Over, and Gaga won't outdo The Fame Monster.

These type of eras are once in a lifetime. She won't outdo it, nor should she be expected to.

But I'm sure some people are already gearing up to call her a flop if 23 "only" sells 7 million.

Probably not as it will eventually land at over 25 million

But she doesnt need to match it. The others are not reaching a quarter of that.

She will not be too bothered about matching it thats for sure.

No. 21 is her Thriller. Hopefully her Bad will follow.

Like the damn wind!

The 21 era was bigger than most careers even...so I'mma say no. She'll still have success of course, but 21 was lightning in a bottle.

She doesn't have to.

depends on her current boyfriend !!

Quality wise she can easily outdo it.
Sales wise, not a chance.
