Three hundred thousand copies of Hello sold in the U.S. in  less than 24 hours.  The thirst for new Adele music is real.

The video could've been even stronger if it focused more on Adele being alone rather than flashbacks to the relationship..but I'm just being knit-picky. I really enjoyed the video

@StrawberryBlond 

You referred to her 25 era over and over. I've said it before and I will say it again, ALL artists will stop selling as much....eventually. Adele and Taylor...and anyone else who is having massive sales are in that category. Yeah, yeah I've seen your numbers on Norah Jones before and they were in direct comparison with 21 and 25. Same thing goes that I always said...Adele is going to have a massive 25 era, even if it doesn't sell 30 million. 

I've been a member, and an active one, for over two years. People do change their names here, you know. The 1989 era has been going on for over a year now, by the way. Long before your Taylor hate comments, you had your Adele hate comments. One discussion from a while back was when you were trying to say that Adele's vocal technique caused her vocal problems, in which I gave you lots of medical information and examples of other people who have had the same problems. You are still dragging that weak accusation out...but that discussion between you and me was before the 1989 era. We have discussed Adele's "overexposure", the prediction that she "waited too long", the accusation that "she is making the wrong choice staying home for a while with a baby and toddler", the accusation that "she doesn't care for her fans because she doesn't tour", the accusation that "she is lazy" because of multiple things you have come up with as reasons to discount her, that "she makes the same music over and over", that "she isn't a good songwriter", and that silly Norah Jones comparison that you've trotted out countless times to predict that Adele wouldn't have a highly successful 25 era. 

What are you standing by? Your new prediction you are making now? That's not standing by your old predictions, that's making a new one...now that you have seen the reception and now that you know the release schedule. Yeah...that's the same prediction most of us were saying all along. Welcome to the club, where we know that Adele is going to be a force during her 25 era. 

And I've said and said again that having too much confidence in the selling power of certain artists is the fans downfall. We saw what having too high expectations did to Gaga post-TFM. It woke me up a lot to the reality of what the music business is really like and ever since Gaga's underperformance, I've noticed how often this actually happens to a lot of people and it's by no means something limited to the lesser selling acts. Nearly all the biggest acts are going through this now as well. I use the Norah comparison because she was very similar to Adele in lots of ways - she has a mellow, ballad, stripped back style, her biggest seller sold almost the same amount as 21, she swept at the Grammys just like Adele did, there was high expectations of her to be around a long time. And she's also the perfect example of what happens to these big sellers who peak way too early.

Oh, right, I forgot you can change names. That's probably way, then. By the way, I am far from the only one who says that her vocal technique is poor. I remember seeing a comment on an article about her vocal surgery from an actual vocal coach who said that they were concerned that she still had poor technique in her post-surgery singing and might risk another haemorrage. I say this out of concern too. I've heard artists I like have poor vocal technique and if they're a singer, they need to correct that.

I haven't made a new prediction. I have been making predictions of 10 million sales and lesser successful singles for a while now. I found posts I made in these threads from 19th and 28th August:

Seriously, who do you think you are by claiming you know exactly what I've said and when? I've made these prediction since late 2012 and they've yet to change. Apparently, you think you know me better than myself. Adele's winning, so what have you got to complain about? You're just obsessed with making everyone agree that we should kiss the boots of whoever's your current fave who's most successful (as if it all hangs on our sole approval or something).

I may just say for a moment that comparing Adele to Norah as of Friday has been a horrid comparison. Maybe before we knew the way her comeback would unfold we could've made that prediction/comparison but now that Adele has completely wiped the floor in sales and performance in a matter of hours, that comparison needs to be laid to rest. And quickly.

Looks like she will do all of them

Not surprising. Someone else will break the record in a few months though

Granted, Norah was never a single seller, not remotely close. That's the one big difference between them. But based on what we know Adele's strengths are, how successful she's going to be from here on out remains to be seen. Now there's going to be pressure on her to get the success that follow-up singles Someone Like You and Set Fire To The Rain did. Even Rumour Has It went to #16 and sold 2 million in the US and that was released 10 months after the album. Do you honestly think she'll be able to carry off a similar feat with this one, when the first few week sales will be in the millions? It's always the same with the follow-up to a bestseller - the people buy the album and therefore have no need to buy the singles, so the single performance is a big step down from the last album and it looks bad in comparison. The true test of Adele's longevity will be the album after this one - the follow-up to the follow-up. That is the true test of whether an artist will truly be successful for years to come. And let me tell you, 95% of these 20 million+ bestselling artists can't live up to it and it's the artists who sell less who continue to go on for years with decent sales.
