Prvi #1 hit za Adele / Adele scores her first #1 hit

Britanska pevačica Adele, poznata po hitovima Chasing Pavements i Rolling In The Deep, posle trogodišnje karijere dobila je svoj prvi #1 hit u Velikoj Britaniji. To je drugi single sa njenog novog albuma 21 - Someone Like You. U jednoj od najzanimljivijih borbi na britanskoj listi singlova Adele je izašla kao pobednik sa oko 111 hiljada prodatih digitalnih kopija, a najveće konkurentkinje bile su joj mlada pevačica Jessie J sa pesmom Price Tag (prošlonedeljni #1) i Lady Gaga sa novim singlom Born This Way koji je zadržao prošlonedeljnu treću poziciju. Razlika u prodaji među prva tri mesta bila je samo 1%!

Pesmu Someone Like You Adele je izvela na ovogodišnjoj dodeli BRIT nagrada, nakon čega se pesma popela na vrh iTunes liste, gde se i dalje nalazi. 

Ova godina za Adele počela je više nego uspešno. Njen novi album 21 našao se na prvom mestu u 17 zemalja, a ove nedelje uspela je da uradi ono što je samo Bitlsima pošlo za rukom - da ima dva top 5 albuma i dva top 5 singla u isto vreme na britanskoj listi. Naime, Adele zauzima prvo i četvrto mesto na obe liste. Njen prvi album 19 našao se na četvrtom mestu ove nedelje, dok je na listi singlova to mesto pripalo pesmi Rolling In the Deep.

Album 21 sledeće nedelje će biti objavljen i u Severnoj Americi. Verujem da uspeh neće izostati, s obzirom na to da je pesma Rolling In the Deep i tamo veliki hit.

Poslušajte maestralno izvođenje pesme Someone Like You sa dodele BRIT nagrada :)

*** 

British singer/songwriter Adele, known for her hits Chasing Pavements and Rolling In the Deep, scored her first #1 hit on the UK Singles Chart after 3 years long career. It's the second single from her new album 21 - Someone Like You. In one of the most interesting chart battle on the UK Singles Chart, Adele won with estimated 111k sold downloads. Her biggest competition were Jessie J with a song Price Tag (#1 last week) and Lady Gaga with her new single Born This Way (kept #3 spot). Sales difference between first 3 spots was only 1%! 

Adele sung Someone Like You at BRIT Awards Ceremony and soon after this song went to the top of iTunes chart and it's still on that position. 

This year begun for Adele more than successfully. Her latest album 21 peaked at #1 in 17 countries and this week Adele manged to do what only The Beatles could - to have two top 5 albums and two top 5 singles in the same time. This week Adele is #1 and #4  on both - singles and albums chart. Her debut album 19 is #4, while that position belongs to Rolling In the Deep on singles chart.

Her new album 21 will be released in North America next week and I believe she'll have the same level of success as Rolling In the Deep is already a big hit there.

Listen to a breathtaking performance of Someone Like You at BRITS.
