I'm still mad at ****ing Rolling Stone giving 3,5 for UV. What the ****? I bet they don't even listen to the albums. They gave artpop 3,5 too when it desearved 1,5

They should've given UV at least a 4.5

Has Katy ha album pisscography outsold those 1.5 albums yet?
Has Katy won as many Grammys as those 1.5 albums yet?
Has Katy had an album outsell the supposed non-existent successor to those 1.5 albums?

Didn't think so!

But your point is that UV's music is soooo much better than 21 and that Sam's album is on the same level, yet neither reached the acclaim of 21, whether it was by two points of twenty. UV is not some critically acclaimed masterpiece.

I don't like 21 but it's obviously considered acclaimed by critics and if UV's only 2 points below then why shouldn't it be considered acclaimed either? I only compared ITLH with 21 cause he's often referred to as the male Adele, not something I made up (though I think their musical styles are similar) but IMO both are better than 21. ITLH's score is indecisive to me, it should be higher.

They're only compared because they're both young, British and sing about love. Sam isn't taken as seriously as Adele by critics.

Katy Has not matched Gaga in WW appeal, Albums, Tour, Acclaim or Accolades...


Why is the Kats trying ANYTHING?

Gaga might have lasted 2 years but she did more in those two years than katy will be able to accomplish in 10-20 years... if she even lasted that long, judging by her last attempts and her UNsold ticket seats she isn't reaching that anytime soon.

The only person who actively denies staning for Brit is Giselle and look at my sig to know the state of that. Ever since she retired from the Army she has jumped to the navy, to lana to bey. The struggle to survive a kneeless life

I think this can either break Britney's record or underperform hard if they decide on surprise iTunes release. But if it really works out for her I'm sure she'll have much more success in the long run than Beyonce because Adele's music is actually good so it won't die after the first month.

I definitely think she would have more longevity. I don't think anyone's going to break Britney's record, even with a surprise release.

Adele is definitley gonna open with more than 617k, even with a surprise release. But I agree a normal release would be better for her.

Ehhh I don't know. I agree with your second comment though, I don't get why she would do a surprise release when it would hurt her rather than help.

Beyonce's sales came from casual fans as well. It was her biggest first week sales ever as a solo artist. The way she released it was why she got those sales, not because she has some loyal fanbase.

And Adele has a huge following on social media. Why do people think Adele's only fans are old people?

Okay. Again I ask, do you think she would do above or below Beyonce's numbers?

Yep

Dido sold 21m copies of her first album and sold 400,000 copies of her 2nd album first week.

I can see Adele doing something like 500k - 800k and staying consistent.

I see 300k-600k for her regardless of the way she releases.

21 did 352k first week before "Rolling in the Deep" became a smash. 300k is way too low.

When people aren't overestimating Adele, they're severely underestimating her.

Adele will open with 800k in the states and that'd be great

Remember how we used to party up all night
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
Drinking in the small town firelight - Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Walking down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive

There she was my new best friend
High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys."

Lyrical juggernaut.

That would be the median I would put her in, pending on the singles success, but she may not even need that. Columbia will pull all the stops to at least pull in the first week sales.
