Will There Ever Be Another 21?
 
1 Attachment(s)
As of July 2014, 21 has sold around 30 million copies worldwide, and helped revitalized lagging sales of both the United States and UK's musical industry.
As we are in a climate where musical sales are dropping drastically, will there be another album to outsell Adele's 21?
Keep in mind, big name popgirls such as Katy Perry could barely scratch 3 million with her latest album PRISM.

Will there be?

All of these media threads are great and interesting and what-not, but can you not post as many as you've been doing? It's cluttering the forums, and you don't need to create a new thread each time you want to relay us a TMZ or Billboard article. Thanks.

Only 3 million? Prism was an excellent album, it would surely sell more than that.

The barrier for sales is simply this:

Katy Perry's audience knows how to obtain music for free.

Adele's does not.

Therefore, the result is more people actually purchasing an album.

You could find sales at Wiki or IFPI(more reliable).
PRISM was the best selling album in 2013 from a female. Second to the best in general. It looks like PRISM might be the best selling album of 2014 as well.
21 was the best selling album of 2011 + 2012 as well. Post 2010 is when musical sales were declining at a much faster rate than 2000s. It's quite interesting that Adele managed to sell 30 million albums especially in a musical climate where sales are dropping.
21 and PRISM are comparable since they both belong to the post 2010s era.


PRISM was her best lyrically and possibly her peak artistically. With 2 big songs and one moderate hit song, I'd expect it to sell 5-6 million like Taylor Swift's RED(2 moderate hits) or Pink's The Truth About Love(2 hits) in 2012(especially cause Katy gets more radio play than these two girls combined.)

That is not true.
Adele just appeals to a much more larger demographic than Katy Perry.
Adele's hype in 2011 + 2012 was universal which resulted in adults, teens, and kids buying her album. Her album related to practically everyone. It amazes me that she managed to have such an amazing era especially at the time where EDM music was ruling the charts such as Party Rock Anthem and Titanium. She's truly once in a lifetime artist. Katy just caters to her younger audience more than her adult audience.

I find them interesting, and these really are not breaking any of the forum rules. If you don't like it- why post? I haven't seen anything wrong with any of these threads. Sure, they are media gossip styled. But that doesn't mean they are spam. It is in the off-topic entertainment thread, just let them be

Each of these post are different topics and if anyone does not like these, it is very easy to just skip over threads that summertime love has created

Honestly Graalians is such a dead forum. Go on Reddit or 4chan or another messaging board if you want to have stimulating conversation about these topics.
Chances are there's already a thread about it :)
