Warholian 6,880 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So Adele basically holds the remnants of the dead music industry in her vagina. I hope she cares for it well. Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump 1,093 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 ****, that's a huge fall. Adele's success is a true miracle compared to such low 1st week numbers we see nowadays LG5's numbers (hopefully 250-300K) will look extremely big, especially in Q1-2 when albums manage to hit #1 with 70K sales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runway 27,876 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Coldplay always opened with 400k+ and now they sold less than 200k, but no one screams flop because its an indie band with white male members. Poor ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
