Around the Network

Lana's Born To Die is a really good album quite different from what we usually hear from pop artists.

Next week, with the Grammy effect, Adele should return to the top of the tally for the 33th week!



Signature goes here!

Go, Leonard!



Great debut for lana del ray, and as usual great sales for adele. It will definitely return to #1 next week and it has been out for over a year! :O Oh, and good to see Coldplay still selling well. The rest are pretty much abysmal.



Oh, and btw, the red arrow heads beside the album name represent 2,000,000 sales. So Adele 21 = 8 x 2,000,000 = 16,000,000



Around the Network

Adele could pass 20m at this rate



 

Adele sold 47k copies of 21 on US iTunes in the 3 hour period following the Grammys! In the next full sales week she will probably go back to around 650-700k.



Also she has the most trending videos on Youtube for 2-3 weeks running.

Actually, she's just a little over 17  million sold right now. 21 entered the Top 100 best selling albums chart a few weeks ago which is incredible for an album that's barely one year old.



Signature goes here!

So many names I've never heard before in my life.
Even one (maybe two) months ago I didn't even know who this Adele chick is.
