You mean once Easy On Me stopped getting spammed on the radio and TTH

 

This era is a colossal bomb. Adele will be lucky if her next album performs like Norah Jones’ third album. She’d also be lucky to be half as good a singer, but that’s another story. 

Why would anyone compare a 5th album to a 3rd album?  Such stupidity. 

 

The way people here are still trying to push Adele as if she is another Norah Jones when she has long surpassed that is pure stupidity.  She is declining just like most artists do, but her trajectory ain't like Norah Jones. Get real.

And why are you posting constantly in these types of threads about Adele? You post more than anyone except for maybe Brando.

Oh, so you're one of those?  This whole Taylor/Adele thing is so dry. And maybe I missed it, but where is the Taylor vs. Adele arguments other than from the Taylor Swift stans... per usual? Talk about insecurity.

"Easy on Me" is more of less the same, but 30 itself is probably Adele's most unconventional album and everybody except fairy men on ATRL acknowledges that.  It's probably why EOM was so successful and "OMG" was a commercial dud. 

OMG was a commercial dud because it sounded like a dated one Republic song from 2015.

Because that's when Norah's commercial decline began? It's not rocket science over here. 

 

Come Away With Me = 21

Feels Like Home = 25 

 

She squeaked out another big opening based on her name alone with 30. Maybe I should've said her next album will be more like The Fall, when Norah debuted with 180k, but that seemed cruel. You're delusional though if you don't think Adele's album will show a pretty significant decline after how much 30 fizzled out and people started to see her as more of a diva.

Are you implying EOM wasn't an organic hit? Its easily one of the biggest songs of 2021/22 and everybody knows it, reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify soon

 

Why wouldn't an Adele comeback lead single get a major push on streaming and radio? You all have no idea what you are talking about

 

 

You literally just agreed that EOM was successful due to her simply being Adele  

 

I'm not saying Adele is going to have as catastrophic a decline as Katy Perry, but "successful because it's [X big name]" followed by an era that fizzles out is reminiscent of Chained to the Rhythm, Born This Way, etc. I would say LWYMMD and ME! too, except that Taylor didn't cancel the Reputation Tour and it was widely enjoyed by her core fan base and they stuck around. But I don't think Taylor would be enjoying her current success if she didn't do a major overhaul after Lover, which Adele is unlikely to do.

[Rhiannon]

I don't get why are some people acting as if this is bad news or something.. 

Adele and her album is 4x bigger than 99.9% of atrl faves.

[Death & Decay]

This is rather shocking. But I wish my fav had an era like 30, even if the 30 era is a disappointment.

Not at all, it’s not the 25 era anymore. Future Nostalgia will end up with well over twice as much units as 30.

This Norah Jones VS Adele comparison NEVER made any sense  But since you are insisting, let's compare them, shall we?

 

21 : 12,400,000 pure copies in the US

Come Away With Me : 11,200,000 pure copies in the US

 

25 : 9,500,000 pure copies in the US

Feels Like Home : 4,600,000 copies in the US

 

Adele outsold Norah with both albums, even tho Norah's albums were released in a much better pure sales climate where every huge artist had a 10m selling album (Britney, NSYNC, The Bacstreet Boys, Eminem, Linkin Park etc). 25 even sold TWICE as much as Feels Like Home and you dare to compare the two albums?!   Nobody ever came even close to Adele in the previous century when it comes to both of her albums while your girl's album sales were on-par with everyone who was on top during those years.

 

And even if we ignore the albums for a moment, where are Norah's huge Hot 100 smash hits? Adele had THREE #1s with 21 that were all massive, Rolling in the Deep still holds the record as the biggest selling digital single in the US of ALL TIME. With 25 she had another massive single that spent 10 weeks at #1 and was a historic release.  This time with 30, she had another massive 10 week #1, that sure wasn't as big or historc as her previous singles, but how many massive songs is this woman supposed to have? 

 

Your girl Norah had NONE of this.  Her highest peaking single peaked at #30

 

She was different back in the day since she served jazz music instead of bubblegum pop. That's the only valid comparison to Adele. But Norah was only an ALBUM seller, that's a massive difference. During her peak Adele was loved by everyone, kids, teenagers, middle aged and old people. You really think the people listening to Britney, Xtina, NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys were buying Norah Jones's album? I think NOT

 

And as for your claim that EOM wasn't a genuine hit since it had a massive radio airplay and streaming numbers - as I've already told you - an Adele lead single getting that kind of a treament shouldn't be a surprise to anyone considering her previous success. Your point about it being only big at first since people were insterested in a new Adele single would make since had the single not spent 10 weeks at #1, 24 weeks in the top 10, with almost a billion streams on Spotify and still getting 2m+ daily streams 

 

I understand people coming for Adele for her current era's performance. But for someone to come for her previous massive and historic albums that cannot be compared to any other eras this century?!?!? What the actual ****?!

He's dumb and tired. First comparing a 5th album to a third, then trying to justify the comparison. Adele has long surpassed Norah in every metric there is. It doesn't matter how well her next album does.  

[Luckitty]

good, i hope it humbles her

 

she was so annoying during the start of the era when she was acting like she's above and better than everyone else

All that typing when I never claimed Norah had any hit singles or anything of the sort  I just said she’s going to decline like Norah inevitably did, instead of forever being THE ~untouchable~ Adele. Get a grip. 

 

It’s too bad old ATRL with everyone’s claims about how 30 would do are gone. Non-delusional people (like me) pointed out that there wouldn’t be anything to give 30 legs after Christmas (especially with its underwhelming streaming numbers), and the Adele stans weren’t hearing it. Ah well!

Her era is underperforming but let's not act like it's bombing or something

 

 

EOM was a smash and the second single did ok

This is less than half of Ed Sheeran's second single. And it flopped on radio and the video has low numbers. There is no Send My Love hit on the album so the era is pretty much over too. Those 239M streams are decent but Camila's lead single has more streams so it's not exactly great. You can get that high with the right playlisting.

I said it did "ok"

 

Can I Get It is the only song with some potential left but she only filmed the video for I Drink Wine and who knows if she'll even release it now.

CIGI is not strong enough to revive interest IMO. The production is so bland and 2012 P!nk'd. 

 

The best thing to salvage this era would be a re-release with a brand new lead single. Five new songs in total, and with limited edition vinyl and CDs for the reissued album. And she needs to promote and figure out a way to salvage the Vegas thing. If I were her I would have refunded flights and hotel stays out of my own pocket for the people who travelled, that gave her so much horrible PR she had never experienced before.

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Yeah I’m an Adele fan and it’s a good album but this era is a total dud and it is definitely not her best album by any means.  She needs to switch up her sound.
