Check the edit, she signed to Columbia in June 2008 per wikipedia.

The only way to really take something for the Rap lane; market your music to people who buy albums.

Spoiler

Too bad our "culture" is a joke to Mainstream America (see Justin Beiber heel to baby face turn

 

[DaveyDave]

This has to count digital sales as well? No way she sold more than NSYNC back in the hey day of music sales.

 

[GiantGonzalez]

i think women buy more music than men, hence why major rappers are so feminine

 

[blackzeus]

Why is she so marketable? What draws so many people to buying her music?

Even Taylor Swift ain't selling these many records.

She's Aretha Franklin/Billie Holiday but in a white woman's body. Just wait until they recreate a white Michael Jackson. He will sell a billion records every time he drops

There's plenty of white singers that aren't popular at all. Sure it's an advantage but if just being white got you 3.3 million first week sales then there'd be a lot more white people selling. Clearly she has an intangibles people like and she crosses all age and race barriers. Everyone loves her from the most gangsta nikkas I know to fukking teeny boopers. Never once did I say it's not a factor but it's not why she sales so much. People love her. She's not marketed crazy, she's never in the news, so you can't act like she's pushed down our throats because she isn't. She doesn't even do interviews like that. Only time she's talked about is when her music is about to drop. Most people who buy her music don't even know what her talking voice sounds like because she's so out of the limelight

I'm just tired of nikkas using the "Oh she's white that's why she sales" card, as if that explains 3.3 million first week sales, and 30 million world wide sales on her last album. Clearly it's way more than that.

North Philly, southside Chi, and Watts is bumpin' Adele?

Y'all the biggest hater I've ever encountered the bish can fukking sing goodness .

She puts put quality music

Adele voice is fukking beautiful and the emotions she evokes are just

bytch will have you thinking about your ex's

Why can't people just make good music without it being something behind it .

She has the industry behind her because her music is good .

adele live is just

 

[onelastdeath]

Adele is the truth. Pre ordered a copy of the album the second it was available for pre order.

Even Taylor Swift ain't selling these many records.

She knows how not to oversaturate herself. Know any of her endorsements? She knows her fanbase really well and doesn't hype herself through other outlets other than the mention of her next album is coming up.

This is still impressive no matter how you look at it.

 

[Silkk]

Im bout to illegally download it

they already did that one bruh

Worst part about all this is this album is a dud compared to her other two. I think she has INCREDIBLE vocal ability but I always believed Amy Wine was much better and deserves her shine. May god rest her soul.

Forget Amy,

In 2008, if you told someone Adele was gonna be bigger than Leona Lewis, you woulda got clowned. You wanna talk a machine? Leona Lewis was geared to be the UK Mariah Carey and it looked like she was headed in that direction, and then shyt happened.

yea amy was far more talented but i think this dele album was still very solid .

She can sing. But if you can't see the bullshyt here then you're seeing the world thru rose tinted glasses.

Adele is literally a less talented Jill Scott repackaged for white mainstream consumption. They completely stopped playing Jill Scott style (r&b soul) from black artist on mainstream radio, created a void for that kind of music then rolled out Adele to fill the void. Now the black artist who originated and perfected the style she is singing in cannot even get on period.

Tyrese puts out an album of the year candidate yet can barely get play yet Sam Smith selling millions. Jill Scott, Angie Stone etc are on milk cartons when it comes to the mainstream yet Adele breaking records. Badu is reduced to dropping fukking mixtapes

This must be what it felt like when Chubby Checker, James Brown, Little Richard watched rock being taken and whitewashed.

Black people need to buy more music.
