When I heard news of Adele finally coming back with an album, I wondered if she had waited too long, if people had forgotten about her or got over her in the 4 years since 21.

It seems the answer to this a reasounding NO! The latest numbers about the first week of sales of the her new album are putting her total sales at about 3 million copies which is insane. [Link]

This result is even more impressive considering we live in a time where less and less people buy records. She broke a 15 year old record (N'Sync's No String Attached sold about 2.4 million in its first week) that I frankly didn't think could ever be broken.

So congratulations to Adele! You deserve it!

** About the album itself, it's been growing on me. At first listen I thought it was underwhelming because it doesn't feature song akin to Rolling in the Deep or Rumour Has It but there's really good balads on 25, Million Year Ago being my current favorite.

same!! the album is pure quality so it deserves all the fame

Million Years Ago is my favorite, too! love the retro-jazz twist element! wondering if she'll promote it as a single

It's one of the song she sang during her press tour (along with Hello, Water Under the Bridge and When We Were Young) so I think it has good chances of being a single.
