Pretty sure it’s the best selling offering of 2011 so far…not 2010.
Oh Brad Wete does this every week!
Glad you caught that too…. like a couple weeks ago in the magazine when they mistook Martina Mcbride for Miranda Lambert in the Aretha Grammy’s Tribute….
I love her body, such a handful and IndianBrides.net was amazing
It’s a great CD and the first time I’ve heard listened to one and instantly thought “Grammy winner.”
Never thought I’d see Adele going 4x platinum in the UK and taking the #1 spot in the US (for two weeks in a row, no less)…she really has come a long way from when “Hometown” was a free download on iTunes. Very happy for her. She has a timeless voice.
Good for her.
I have been listening to that Album none stop since it game out. It is AMAZING!
What’s “amazing” about it? That word means nothing now due to overuse.
Oh, LOL, I couldn’t agree more. EVERYTHING is “AMAZING” in pop culture. I get so tired of hearing that word. Um, how about “fantastic”, “superb”, or even the throw-back “awesome”…seriously, it’s almost a joke how many times one hears “UH-MAZZ-ING” anymore.
You spoilsports. 21 IS amazing.
The Dropkick Murphy’s new album is “Going Out in Style”.
Good for Adele. I like her style of singing. Also good for Marsha Ambrosius, she`s another great talent. KEEP SUPPORTING REAL TALENT!
Okay, on that note — Justin Nozuka!
Wonderful news! Her success is well-deserved.
Two Brit ladies on Top! Great music! Hopefully this trend is here to stay!
awesome! great voice, great CD. Love her, wish she would tour the states.
I cant believe Now is on its 37th edition, i remember buying the first one when it came out.
We’re up to 78 in the UK. Makes me feel really, really old.
maybe music isn’t dead after all…
I’m glad to see great albums like this doing well. It gets tiring seeing bands like Black Eyed Peas top the charts.
I love her and her song “Someone Like You”
I love this CD it is fantastic! I haven’t heard a good CD in awhile where I listen to it without skipping a song. My favorite song is He won’t go. If you haven’t got the CD you need to pick it up today. Her voice is rich and soulful!
