Adele is on a different playing field. Nobody mentioned on this site is playing with her. Where they may release hit albums, she serves albums and singles back to back that aren’t just hits, but instant classics and legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor fanboy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The biggest musician in the world since 21. She’s just unparalleled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor has sold about 20M more CSPC units and grossed like 4x more in touring, so not quite. But if Adele released more and toured more she’d be bigger.

Rev8 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Erreur2 La Nature said: Congratulations to Adele. Though this is a good indication that the only important thing for the gp is the artist and not the music itself. As long as you are popular, what you release will do well on streaming these days. Easy On Me really is a safe and predictable song that sound like most of 25. I’m not surprised she’s already breaking records with it as she definitely is the biggest name in the music industry since her 21 era. its tru its tru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erreur2 La Nature Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 1 hour ago, LanaDelSex said: i really don’t think the GP wants adele to do anything experimental, and they are fine with that (as am i tbh) if she released albums more often i’m sure more people would be tired of it but with only three records in the last 10 years, i feel like people are happy to have more of her style of music You're not wrong. Ballads is what everyone expects from Adele and that's what she's releasing, all the time. Though she debuted a long time ago and has never tried anything else. She never left her comfort zone. Trying something even just slightly different wouldn't hurt her brand in my opinion. Maybe the album will be different who knows but this first song is not indicating any change at all.

OnlyManInTheWorld Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I believe Adele’s chart run was way more impressive than Michael’s. 21 was literally on the top of the world for 2 years straight and she sold over 50 million copies with two albums released in declining market.

Whew, this is a lot. Ok first of all, she's not "my girl", I'm just giving facts. I like them both as artists. They're both winners. Relax luv xo Second it's not 1995 so no one cares about album sales. CSPC (or TEA+SEA, or album equivalent units, whatever you want to call it; Billboard use it, RIAA use it, HDD use it) is where we're at now. We measure success using a combination of album sales, single sales (digital + physical), and streaming. And in those terms, Taylor has in fact generated more revenue than Miss Adkins: https://chartmasters.org/2017/10/best-selling-artists-albums-and-singles-of-all-time/18/ Like my post literally said, if Adele released more often she would be ahead so I'm not disagreeing with you.

Because regardless of the number of smash albums, he demolished everyone else releasing yearly, much like Adele. That’s why it’s funny seeing people talking about CSPCs in this thread to pretend Ed or Taylor can touch Adele, when she has yet to release one album in the streaming era.
