Years ago, but not anymore.

The lies, taylor's success is quite local when its being compared to them. Which would not make her the biggest popstar in the world.

I legitimately didn't hear a single thing about this. This is actually news to me right now.

You're lying if you didn't hear anything about Britney dying her hair brunette at Elton John's party. It was all over Yahoo etc.

All the people saying the other pop girls are bigger. Taylor has touring (exception of Gaga ofcourse), singles sales, album sales, songwriting, TALENT (go ahead and disagree, but it ain't NOTHING but the truth), and is the most critically acclaimed.

And STAHP with the whole "Adele says hi" bit We get it, she has sold a crazy amount of ALBUMS, but that certainly doesn't make her the biggest pop star in the world. I mean, in what other ways has Adele dominated?!

Adele says hi.

Adele isn't the #1 digital selling artist of all time.

Adele isn't the only woman to have more than one album sell over a million copies in a week in the US. Adele has, in fact, never done so.

Adele isn't the first artist since the Beatles to have 3 albums spend at least six weeks each atop the Hot 100.

Adele doesn't have more entries in the top 40 of the Hot 100 than any woman except Madonna.

Adele didn't write the most awarded album in country music history when she was 17 years old.

Adele doesn't have two $100+ million grossing tours. I don't think she's even passed the approximate $70 million of the Fearless Tour.

Adele isn't the first woman to headline a stadium tour in Australia since Madonna did so two decades ago.

Adele hasn't been honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame, while Taylor won the Hal David Starlight Award at 20 years old.

That's not even going into Taylor's success purely within the country genre, with Her dozen-plus country hits and Her impressive history at the CMAs, ACMs and the Nashville Songwriters' Association.

Taylor is a huge touring force with more hits, a longer and more consistently successful career (most of Adele's noteworthy accomplishments happened in a 2 year period, while Taylor has consistently dominated for 7 years), more awards and recognition of Her songwriting.

21 was obviously bigger than any individual Taylor album, and its sales are near with Taylor's total sales, but it doesn't make Adele a bigger star than Taylor. Taylor is clearly the bigger brand, and that ultimately makes Her the bigger star.

Is this real?

After intense scrutiny of this article I can conclude that there is no lies present

Aside from the fact that most of the others have album sales, singles, tours like you said.

There's also the fact that being the biggest popstar just means how much power you have currently. Adele doesn't have a big tour(we all know that's partly because she chose not to go on tour) , and I doubt she'll ever has a tour that grosses that high simply because she's not that type of artist. And simply put there are certain artist who don't need a huge grossing tour to be the biggest popstars in the world ex. Mariah Carey . Her sales speak for themselves and show how global she is compared to the rest. Her last album sold 1mil + in 6 countries alone , more than taylor's last album. She wins highly esteemed awards such as Golden Globes (something taylor has failed at) . Quite simply sales and acclaim are more than enough to show that she's the biggest popstar in the world, taylor's too local to be that.

Lmao at this.

OT, but:

There is no mainstream media feeding everyone the same stories anymore. People filter the articles they read by their interests. If they don't care for Britney Spears OR Elton John, then they haven't heard of that. A lot of people who use the internet very regularly have never even been on a site that even featured an article on this story happening, because they just don't give a **** about the GP and celebrities in general.

A LOT of people didn't know Britney dyed her hair. Including myself.

Taylor is the only woman to win Entertainer of the Year twice at the CMAs and twice at the ACMs. It's specific to country, but that doesn't make it less significant. At the CMAs earlier this month, Taylor basically was presented with the Pinnacle Award, which basically equates to a lifetime achievement award. Taylor won an award from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame when she was 20. She would have won a Golden Globe if it hadn't been for the fact that Adele was bigger than her at that time. Perhaps none of Taylor's huge awards are as prestigious as an Academy Award, but she does receive prestigious awards.

you're funny , aside from the fact that Adele coundn't write the most awarded album in contry music history because she's not a country artist, there also the fact that we all know she's not really a touring artist.

And ow who would need most awarded country album when you're album is the most awarded album by a female artist in the entire Grammy history

The stats you posted are impressive though , its kinda too bad adele has some similar stats to them even into her second album, perhaps I'll find them for you.

[muddysquirrel]

No lies. So excited for her next epic!

[Ichinaru19]

Nah Adele is but she can come in like 2nd or third place though

Aside from the irrelevant country achievements ,which am stating for the second time adele can't win because she doesn't make country music !!(If anything it just proves how local taylor is ) .

And am glad you acknowledged the fact that in 2013 when she was 2 years after releasing her album adele had more power/was a bigger popstar than taylor who was just what 6-7 months into her new album. And she still is by the way.

That's all I needed to hear from you,bye.

Also she has similar achivements/ even bigger than the one you mentioned , perhaps I'll try and find a few for you.

Go ahead. I have a pretty good idea of Adele's achievements. All things considered, they actually seem somewhat even to me... Both have a number of unique chart accomplishments and have received a large variety of awards of various levels of prestige.

Ultimately, I do think the fact that Taylor is the bigger brand is what tipped the scales in her favor here. Of course, Adele strikes me as the type who is trying to avoid being a brand (hasn't acted, turned down that major cosmetics deal, etc)... Or perhaps the author just doesn't consider Adele a pop star. She wasn't mentioned by name in the article like a number of others were.
