Thoughts?

8 more weeks and Adele will match Whitney and the bodyguard

Timmy, I was thinking the same. She is trying to beat that MJ record, JUST so she can say she did.

I adore Adele and 21 is an amazing album.

@Timmy @Che_Petrillo She really is. I mean, I’m sure anyone would think tying M.J. and setting a record of their own (as first FEMALE to have 5 #1s off one album) would be an amazing feat, but it would be true, honest success if she gained it just by releasing her records and leaving it at that. Instead, there’s the E.T. remix and the Last Friday Night remix, which will not only be released digitally on itunes, but on radio to gain airplay as well. Clearly, that spells desperation and selling out at its finest, not to mention all her songs this era have ticked the extreme generic mark. But on a more technical matter, I’m surprised Billboard is counting all her songs towards this record. Because, MJ’s record that he set was “5 #1s from a single album”. Katy has only released THREE records that are on the official Teenage Dream album, because the TGIF and E.T. remix aren’t on the album, so therefore shouldn’t be counted towards sales of the original song. But hey, this is 2011, where apparently anything in the industry can happen today.
I’m really happy for Adele though. While I don’t find ’21′ groundbreaking, I’m glad that an artist other than the big pop stars of today can have extreme success. It’s incredible that ’21′ is STILL topping the charts, and has sold over 8.3 million albums worldwide in 6 months, due to her appeal to the adult contemporary market, who are the highest album purchasers. Her, Beyonce’s, and Kanye’s releases actually make me interested in next year’s Grammy Awards.

Katy is going to get that #1 just wait
