A popular person is someone who is liked by people who know that person. Famous means known by many people because of their achievements or works, while popular means liked by many people http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/8022/is-there-any-difference-between-famous-and-popular Adele is both famous and popular 21 outsold Gaga's entire discography. If she isn't liked, her records wouldn't have sold so much Most of those sales happened only in the US and UK though. Gaga has toured and sold albums in countries Adele hasn't even touched.

No my grandparents know who Lady Gaga is because she was a phenomenon but they don't know who Adele is. Adele is just an ordinary name if I said Adele in Tesco the supermarket 100 people called Adele would think I was talking to them because she isn't really talked about in England tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 33,814 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 6 minutes ago, Enigma said: You just said that there is no way of measuring fame, so how could I be deluding myself if you don't know either. This is just my opinion. My earlier post is irrelevant now tho. You've made clear what you think counts for measuring fame, I'm evaluating your statement about Adele and Gaga based on that. "based on what you see for yourself around you, and the success she has had with single and touring sales in many countries around the world might give you an idea" Adele has to win in every single category. Touring sales, ok. But you can't compare a show like Gaga's with one of Adele. And besides, the dvd recording of one of her shows is the highest-selling music dvd in the history of the U.S., breaking several records there. And her tour gross is growing, unlike Gaga's. Surely based on those categories, it's just humorous to act like Adele is not at least equal to Gaga in terms of fame. Her sales in total blow Gaga out of the water, easily.

She still hasn't created many of the headlines that Gaga did. Sales in general are a good representation of fame but headlines could make you very famous even without any sales.

She's just sold out a stadium tour in the UK. Not everyone can do that. Hold Up is all over radio and Lemonade is #3 over a month after its release. Lets be real here.

Well, many people I know that live around me don't even know who Adele is, ans yet every single one of them knows Gaga. Gaga has also toured in countries that Adele hasn't even touched. And Gaga for sure created more headlines than Adele. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
