Can you imagine what she would have done 20-30 years ago? shyt is insane. Overweight blonde chick who can sing, with charisma? She would have been dominating.

Hell naw. She has some power to her voice, but she ain't all that vocally and musically to be dominating nikkas in the 90s & 80s.

So album sales dictate what's played on the radio, featured on TV shows and in movies, who gets to perform at awards shows, who get the magazine features etc? Rose tinted glasses.
I'm failing to see your point breh. Jill Scott debuted almost 15 years ago.

You're forgetting how much younger and more relevant to the generation Adele is, compared to Jill.

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.
She fukkin blew it breh. This is what shouldve happened if she cleaned herself up and released an album after back to black.

Also lol & the militant shyt in this thread, just admit that this fat cac can sing and had the RIGHT hits.

Lauryn woulda had a similar run if she stayed sane :mjcry: her first album sold 8 million copies

3.3 million is fukkin crazy without even streaming

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

Digital sales are the same as physical sales, maybe even more impressive since people don't receive anything physical. If you're referring to streaming, then no it doesn't count that because she held the album back from all streaming services, which probably contributed to the sales at least a little bit, anyone who wanted to hear the album had to buy it instead of going on Spotify or whatever and just streaming it.

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 :mjcry:

This must be what it felt like when Chubby Checker, James Brown, Little Richard watched rock being taken and whitewashed.
And with that, close this thread:wow:

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 White and makes "soul/R&B" music.
Plus she looks like the "average woman," yet is still glamorous.
Plus, general hype.
