It's so stupid to pin Beyoncé and Adele against each other.

And can the Hive stop attacking Adele? Adele and Bey LOVE each other and Adele is probably one of Beyonce's biggest fans. Don't let the media make you feel like you have to start hating other artists all of a sudden because of unnecessary comparisons they make.

Adele is not an icon. She never will be.

She will only be remembered as 'that big british chick who had that huge album'.

I don't understand how you can be so blind this.

I think we know more about her place when she sings at The Beatles tribute.

Too much pressure on Adele imo. If sis doesn't do 5 million first week everyone will call her a flop.

What's hilarious to me is that people actually think Adele cares if she sells another 30 million albums.

It's hilarious how everyone on here loved her until she proved to be the biggest threat to all of your favs.

Adele and Beyoncé don't need radio play initially to sale albums.

Did no one proofread this article before they published it? Yahoo becoming the next Examiner.

Threat? Since when has music become a battlefield? You know, there can be more than 2 artists releasing music lol.

NONE of Adele's stans are doing that though. It's the media. Huge difference.

No need to shade Adele because the media is pitting her against these other women. It's not a competition for her, she has nothing but love and respect for her peers.

People come after her like she's doing all of this on purpose. Trust me when I say Adele does not give a **** how much she sells or who's praising her over other artists.

I think some people are in for a rude awakening with this next album. I don't care if 21 sold more than MJ and Madonna's discographies combined, that doesn't take away the fact that as of now she is a one-album wonder. I thought everyone on ATRL would've learned after Gaga, but I guess not.

Her next album will sell many copies immediately, yes, but it remains to be seen if she will be a force in the long run, or if her next album will even sell big past the first few months. To equate her with Beyoncé, an established artist with over a decade of hits who is one of pop culture's most prominent figures, is foolish.

Beyonce's higher status in the music industry is evened out by Adele's appeal to a MUCH broader base. Whether Adele releases a single and promotes months in advance, drops the album at 2:45 AM as an Amazon MP3 exclusive and doesn't even mention it on instagram or whatever, it will still outsell any album by any other female in the industry with ease. No one in today's music industry can appeal to the GP like Adele. She's guaranteed huge sales off of the success of 21 and her image ALONE, and it would take a truly **** album for her to maybe 'flop'(by her standards) on the album after this one

Are you new to this forum? That's how everyone views everything on here.

I completely agree with what you're saying.

Lol so because 21 sold a lot that means the next Adele album is going to do the same numbers?? Fail Yahoo.

They didn't even say that

Also Adele doesn't even need to do the same numbers but she would still do better than her peers

She could do half and stiff have extraordinary numbers

And that's because she was still making a name for herself when 21 first came out.

Things have changed since then...

Some people are honestly

They keep thinking that Adele was the same person before and after 21 happened

Her career at least

The fact of the matter is, the music world knows you can motivate people to buy albums....in Adele's case she motivated over 20 million people to do that. There will always be up to 5 million who on average buy a singular album, and that's nothing to diminish, but when you can push people to spend money, sometimes more than once,on an album, you've done something special. They got an album that changed their lives, she gave them something they can relate to and feel to. When Adele releases again, people are gonna want that chance again. It has nothing to do with who is better or worse, imo, it has to do with what people want...an experience...and Adele has that going for her right now.

Ofc she doesn't she's Adele her name alone is greater than any in the industry atm,those who think otherwise provide receipts please !

but her unconventional release overshadowed the actual work a little. People are still talking about the surprise of the release and how innovative it was…few music journalist are actually writing reviews of the album. Her smart release was so unexpected; critics couldn't review it fast enough to include it on any of their year end, album of the year lists.

Beyoncé made the music critics obso

Why is everyone ignoring all this hot tea spilled all over Beyonce ?

True true and true

I like XO though. I think its a good album but also at the end of the day people are still buying the album so
