I desperately want BTW to clear 3 million eventually. (Adele too - but that looks like a given at this point).

It hasn't sold enough to make the top 10, and the rest are albums that have made milestones.

Adele is just slaying like no other! And it doesn't look like any other album is even making it to two million any time soon...

I'd like for rock albums to sell more.  definitely rock is going underground again.  only the old bands are cashing.

No, Adele will remain on top imo
While Gaga's US sales are dropping, Adeles are still flowing nicely
Adele proves that you don't need theatrics or constant shock value to sell a lot (not a gaga diss  artists in general) to sell, all you need is a killer voice. I am Thankful that Adele has saved music and brought it back to life
