Adele's not the music industry, she is the Queen of CD sales

Yes. Dedicated fanbase being people who lack lives who spend their entire day streaming their faves songs and buying multiple albums. You’d have to be completely and utterly delusional to not see the different between Adele and Taylor in terms of fanbase. Adele is just favored by the GP. That’s her “fanbase”

So riddle me this then: we’re on a stan website, and there are apparently Adele fans on it. But you’re saying she doesn’t actually have a dedicated fan base, and that her fan base in the GP, and we all know that the GP is not the same thing as ATRL. Therefore, wouldn’t that mean that the “Adele stans” on here aren’t really her fans, since they couldn’t be a part of the GP while being on here?

What a boring reply. You know what they meant and you know they’re right.

But that user has been fuming this entire week when people call out others for hiding behind Adele, saying she does actually have fans on here. But that therefore directly contradicts what they said about Adele’s “fanbase”

The store I work at has so many 30 CDs. The shelves are overflowing and the CDs are falling onto the floor instead of falling into people’s shopping carts. It’s been selling more than any other CD in recent times, but they really overproduced physical copies.

I hope you’re all okay! Working as a manager in retail I know what it’s like to be shipped an excess of product that will never sell through and takes up space.

When will BB post the chart?

You are a Camila stan 

 

The way you keep trying (and failing) to come for Adele in every thread is giving me serious second hand embarrassment. The lack of self awareness.

Maybe so, they should've been out 30 minutes ago and nothing yet

There are probably ‘negotiations’ behind the scenes

Makes no sense for them to be delayed because of thanksgiving that was 3 days ago.
