Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 And suddenly the "sales era is over" excuse for flops has become null and void. And yes, whilst the industry is veered more towards streams, sales are still a major component of success Adele is proof that if the song is of quality, the promo is minimal yet effective, the masses will buy the song. although song is great it's not about song itself but hype she had from 21 era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I dont believe this is accurate because Hotline Bling (#3) sold 18k WW yesterday according to Kworb and currently is as 12.5% sales compared to Hello. That means Hello is selling 8 times more than Hotline Bling. 18000x8=144k sales or less considering HLB sold 18k WWIdk.But it's predicted to sell 1m+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I would have never guessed this level of dominance. I mean, I knew that everyone was going to be waiting and that it all had the possibility of exploding in a huge way...but I didn't expect for it to be this huge! Wow! Congrats to Adele! Somewhere, Ariana is thanking her lucky stars that Adele released one week early! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogFood 1,649 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 when do you think the second single will drop ?It'll most likely be after the album release. It'll probably be in late December- mid January MEGHAN TRAINOR | Katy Perry | Taylor Swift | Lady Gaga | Rihanna | Ariana Grande | Beyoncé | Nicki Minaj | Sam Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 @amenvodka @PicklePower Merged your threads into here Merging all these threads is making it difficult to follow individual events that are happening. An upcoming single record of all time is a HUGE deal. At least make a 25 and a Hello thread, because discussion of the upcoming album is different than discussion of the single. Throwing everything together is making it hard to follow and to stay updated on everything that is happening! We are possibly witnessing one of the biggest eras of the last decade or so.

That's true This has been changed to the single discussion because the album's not out for a while and everything's really about Hello itself I think that putting all those threads in this one was a really bad idea Something had to be done because there were way too many threads about little bits of news which weren't sourced and were best under a main umbrella thread Not merging was also a bad idea, so it's a choice between two evils really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't hurt to have them now,,especially with the events and records that are happening. There is a little big of everything in here, from album to single discussion. It started out as album art and track list and it includes everything about the single and everything about the video. Too many threads have been combined and now there are several discussions about different topics in the same thread. The album has a track list, and is in pre-order mode. It needs a seperate thread from the single discussion. We should also have a seperate thread for the video. Why did three major and different things get piled into one thread? These three topics all had a source...they weren't unsourced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threads being merged weren't really news, they were number updates, the ones that were locked weren't sourced properly but are fine under Entertainment Talk Records being broken such as the VEVO one are still their own thread because that's sourced and totally fine Anyone's free to make a general 25 album thread if they want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video had a source. The single and everything surrounding it had a source. All three of these threads were sourced and they were news. You merged these three discussions and now it is impossible to dig through sixty something pages to discuss these three major topics. An album thread was already made, but you started merging other topics with it, including single release discussion and information about it! Please stop, we would like to be able to find threads and discussions on these seperate topics! No one is going to plow through sixty pages of comments!

Haroon 49,685 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 @Whispering This album thread already had lots of single discussion going on, more than the album discussion if I remember correctly Separate topics are fine on things that don't overlap so much in an already existing thread Discussion was everywhere and anywhere so it seemed better to keep it contained rather than sprinkled everywhere like it was. Like I've said, there's nothing wrong with an album thread being made for it, but this one is for the single now pretty much Records and stuff of course can have their own threads if they're sourced correctly Noone was complaining about the threads You'd be surprised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
