We all know how Adele has been busting the charts and winning awards since her debut so it may no longer be a surprise to discover that she's about to break another record that's been unsurpassed since 2000 and it's happening after her hiatus. "25" has not even reached a full week since its release and it's now about to topple NSYNC's 15-year long record. We can only imagine how excited Adele's camp must be at the prospect.
Of course her amazing voice and emotionally-charged songs are major factors but what else makes Adele so successful with her albums when she only started out by sharing her music in MySpace before finally landing a record deal in 2006?
Adele knows how to pace her albums
People in the music industry know that allotting too little time between album releases can lead to their own songs competing in the charts, or worse, fans getting tired of them too quickly. Adele, however, has only released "19," "21" and "25." What she does in the years in between producing albums is a mystery to everyone, creating the perfect opportunity for fans to miss her all the more.
Adele is a fantastic storyteller
All her songs tell a story, specifically, they tell Adele's stories at the age her album title shows. Sure, "19" and "21" were full of angst but they also featured emotions so raw that you can get affected by them even when you didn't undergo the same experience. As for "25"? It's an album that shows how she matured from a point where she's no longer in the middle of things but looking back and being able to reflect on all the past events.
Adele is concerned with quality
"In order for me to feel confident with one of my songs it has to really move me," Adele said in an interview. She had already cried to her songs before anyone has even had a chance to shed a tear over any of them. That's why we can be sure her tunes are heartfelt and of the best quality she can offer.
Adele's songs know no age
Older generations can confidently pick up and purchase her album without looking like they're going through an angsty adolescent phase and teenagers can belt out her songs without people thinking they're forcing themselves to seem more mature. In short: anyone can listen to her songs and it's completely fine.
Adele is all about her songs
"Everything we hear about the music industry and about different times and different platforms, there's only one thing that'll ever matter in music and that's the song... [Adele] makes incredible songs... so you're seeing a natural public response of somebody that's connected to understanding the importance of the song," as P. Diddy said in an interview. He truly nailed it so we're just going to nod in agreement.
If you need a run-down of what's going on: The boy band NSYNC currently holds the record for the highest number of album sales in its first week of release with 2.42 million album copies of "No Strings Attached" sold in 2000, but they're about to say "Bye Bye Bye" to that record since Adele is most likely going to say "Hello" to the title as Nielsen Music predicts "25" to sell at least 2.5 million copies by Nov. 26. - an amazing feat considering Adele thought she missed her chance at a comeback prior to the album's release.
