Critics don't think that. 5 million fans don't seem to think that, seeing as they bought the CD/Vinyl in 2021 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny21 608 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Flop? That's the problem with fans who are stuck in the past. The music INDUSTRY has changed over the last decade! Adele’s new album “30” was the BEST-SELLING record of 2021, and its success is a testament to her enduring popularity. The British singer finished December at the TOP of Bloomberg’s Pop Star Power Rankings and was one of the 10 biggest artists on both Spotify and YouTube. The sales for “30” reflect a collapse of album sales INDUSTRYWIDE over the last decade. Adele was the ONLY artist to exceed 1 million copies last year. “30,” her fourth studio album, sold twice as many copies as any other despite its mid-NOVEMBER debut! 🙂 When Adele released “21” in 2011, at least 10 albums sold more than 1 million copies. The list included Lady Gaga, Michael Buble and Lil Wayne. Over the past few years, the number of artists who sell albums in volume has dwindled to two: ADELE and TAYLOR Swift. They are the only musicians to sell more than 1 million albums in the U.S. since 2018. (Sales for Swift, as for Adele, pale to her peak in the first half of the 2010s.) https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/pop-star-ranking/2022-january/adele-s-worst-selling-album-is-still-the-year-s-biggest-record.html she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a flop. It has tragic year end peaks and certifications. 2.3m sales in 2007 is not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sold around the same as ARTPOP despite album sales being much stronger on 2007z 10 hours ago, AbhainnTirim said: You cannot compare an album that has spent 5 weeks at number 1, sold millions of pure copies within 6 weeks, and has spent around 20 weeks in the top ten to theses albums, which only really spent between 20-40 weeks on the billboard 200 in it’s entire chart run. Also, Blackout was Britney’s 5th Well yes lol. It’s definitely an underperformance for her standards. A 75% decline from 25 is pretty steep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adele's "4th album curse" being way more successful than a lot of other popstars huge eras. And what's with the Lemonade snub thing lmao that's so extra.

Conqueror 18 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 30 sounds different to all her other albums. She's got two up-tempo type songs like OMG and Can I Get It?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
