Why is Adele so good at selling albums?

Beacuse she has a wide appeal. Young people like her/give her pass, old people can take her as opposed to EDM music and other genres, people in middle age love her. Her lyrics appeal to everyone who has ever been in love and her music is pleasant to listen to whenever, except for a party.

You went there sis.

exactly this. Not "relatable lyrics", not because her albums are "good". She was the anti-Lady Gaga to begin with and in 2011 everyone was fed up with Gaga being all over the world everywhere. 

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why the public needed an anti-Gaga?

I mean, isn't being able to pull off choreography in incredible costumes in front of awesome lasers and lighting effects while interacting with props and at the same time singing incredibly well (pretty much what Gaga does on tour) more impressive then just singing well? 

I think the reason I dislike Adele is because she had an anti-Gaga impact on pop culture.

This woman is so overrated. Her record sales in this day and age where albums don't sell as they used to back in the day tells me there is some conspiracy behind her numbers. I believe its inflated enormously. This chick is selling albums that go diamond and sell over 20 million copies easily while everyone else is struggling to go platinum LOOOOOL

 She might the industry last attempt to increase music consumption and for the masses to put faith that talent is on the radio.

Don't worry, the curse of the 4th album is coming. 

I'm like some kind of supernova

Please, stop writing until you learn to discuss without body shaming and insults :wtf::sick:

Lose control. Let go and fall. Do you get the satisfaction?

Because she can do great albums and listenable songs for major people. Plus she's so adorable, professional and great persona.

I dunno, I guess people just like her music. I don't know, but with Adele, I find it hard to feel any emotion while listening to her music. Like, she fails to convey authenticity in her tone, I guess. I can feel it in other musicians, ex. Mariah Carey, but Adele? Nope. That's not to say I don't think she's talented, she must be if she sells that well but what I am saying is that I really don't get the hype around her.

She's a good singer. Has some mediocre songs so young people give her pass. Doesn't do anything interesting so old people love her and think she is more talented because she doesn't dance and put on a show.

I will never truly understand the GP obsession with her, it's ridiculous and as other people said, it kinda stems from sexism and misogyny because old people just can't stand women who are empowered enough to show their bodies and sing about sex (they call them untalented sluts etc).

To me Adele isn't worth any special attention, yes she is talented but that's not enough in this day and age when you have literally tens of thousands of talented singers/artists.

She's just lucky that there is a trend to listen to her music, just like ed sheeran, JB, chainsmokers, and hiphop in general. But she's talented tho

She's the poster girl for "basic". Her voice isn't amazing, her writing is 8/10 and her instrumentation isn't anything great.

If there's one thing that sells it's blandness.

Because the GP is still stuck with the equation Lady Gaga = Meat dress / crazy outfit. At least here in Italy :sweat:

But why is that bad? Isn't that more exciting then wearing a dress?
