At least now people are beginning to understand the magnitude of 21. People were trying to sell it short for too long by reducing it to a Back To Black or Come On Over or Baby One More Time.
Come On Over seems like a fairly sound analog, no? I'm not sure how you could sell an album short by comparing it to the biggest-selling female album of all time (it does hold that honor, right?).

Utada's record is amazing and insane but it really is rather insane how Ayumi's greatest hits album was able to get so many people to go out and buy her album. Can't imagine how much that would bruise your ego to lose after a huge media blitz like that though (nothing in the western world comes close). Now, today, we have Ayumi singing tributes to Utada.
But that's only since 2004. And Come On Over still sold many boatloads in the long run so it hardly seems like such an arbitrary record would matter anyway.

This was the kind of Halloween that you should only be subjected to if you choose to PAY to go to a haunted house - not have to look at in a neighborhood. What are they thinking? Obviously have no idea that God frowns on this type of thing - just learned about that in my Bible class. I'm glad they took it down - I would hate to have lived next door!
I don't think you can say any stanbase is really bothered by Adele's success. There are people who troll her from every stanbase, but for the most part, it's understood that she's the neutral ground.
She competes in a different lane than the pop girls.
