Good for her.

I still don't get how she sold so many records yet failed to make lists of biggest earning celebrities etc. Did XL keep all the money?

She did though plus keep in mind she never finished her tour ... it wasnt a huge ww one either and she has no endorsements. She still made it though.

I expected her to be very high on Forbes though and she just wasn't even top 10 was she? And with those big big sales...I guess touring really makes big difference then

wtf 128 million dollars is too much

What record label would clash with Adele?

Her lack of touring is what hurts her on those lists. Also the fact she turns down endorsements. If she would have taken some of her endorsements (especially the $19 million L'Oreal deal) she would have made the list. She'll never take them though because refuses to sell out and her comments about selling out would come back to haunt her if she did.

This article is still bs though. The source alone is highly unreliable. This rumor comes from the article saying her album wasn't coming this year. They want to make it look like this is the reason, when it's not. We were told awhile ago the album could come in early 2015.

I reckon Sony better spare some money for the contract, it's too expensive.

The contracts of Madonna and Prince in the 80's were about 200 mil $.

And if she goes for a stadium tour, she will make much more money with touring than them in the 80-90's

That's a great deal.

It'd be so scary to go into this sort of deal though, I mean what if she took a wrong turn and under performed? Anything below like a 10M selling album would be an underperformance with an ambitious contract like this.

Not really, since the singles and tour would be more than enough to generate the proper revenue.

Sony might have their expectations a bit too high. I hope they don't really expect the success of 21 to be repeated.

A proper tour would be enough, she's the kind of star who can overprize in arenas since she atracts adults and they got $$$

But at you thinking singles make money, singles in today's business are a way to keep artists relevant, to promote albums and by that a tour, but everyone knows no artist makes money with singles.

If Album sales are big(wich hasn't been the case for anyone in some time) then they can generate revenue for the artist but other than that the profits stay between the producing company and the company who is in charge of distribution and sales.

A spokesperson for Adele and Sony was contacted but declined to comment. Interesting.

Eh, I don't but it, if only for the touring tidbit. She's shown time and time again she can't handle the touring life.

[ElevateHigher]

That's the same amount of copies her album will sell.
