So its okay for Katy Perry to have half a decade off and adele but Sam smith can't even take two years off okay

Katy and Adele's statuses in the industry are pretty solidified though. They can afford to take a long break without being forgotten. Sam smith on the other hand only had one album cycle that was nowhere as successful as 21 or teenage dream, he is risking a lot

Katy Perry was really only away for like a year since she had a huge tour in 2015 and a major single release for the Olympics in 2016. and Adele was able to take that long because her album sold 30 million copies and had 3 #1 singles, making it the most successful music era of the last 20 years lol. Sam Smith didn't come close to that level of success. His popularity will most likely suffer (a la Lorde) since he let his momentum die down.

We all know that Sam Smith is an Adele substitute.

It makes no sense for him to put out new material as long as Adele is in an active era, or had one not so long ago. He has to wait until people are hungry for those types of songs again and that is when he will STRIKE

It was as successful as TD and 21 in terms of singles success. I don't rate Sam that highly but he is as big possibly bigger than Adele here and Katy.

Katy's album was done in 2013, she milked the hell out of it until 2017 I still count that as four years off. Plus she hasn't finished the new one yet so we are still waiting for her. Sam Smith has had lots of hits and is way bigger than lorde with the GP and is bigger than Adele arguably Sam is a singles artist he was the radio in 2013 2014 and 2015. Adele hasn't had his level of airplay since 2011.
