Adele - Chelsea Lately

Adele continued her adorable-ness in an interview with Chelsea Lately where she talked about almost knocking over P. Diddy, confusing Tina Fey with Sarah Palin on SNL, how her ex-boyfriend (who she wrote the album 21 about) is doing, life on the road etc. She did curse a bit but I just think she's hilarious. Somehow, I think her personality is really helping her to shift albums.

Billboard Update

Lady Gaga is still #1 on the Hot 100 with Born This Way, but surprise surprise. It's not Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, P!nk, or Britney Spears snapping at her heels.

However, Christina Perri's going anywhere but down, flying up to a new peak of #21 with Jar of Hearts. Dang. What has that girl been doing? Adele's chart domination continues with Rolling In The Deep leaping to #26 this week. This week's album week. Expect Rolling In The Deep to fly even higher up next week. Katy Perry's fourth single E.T. which features the irrelevant verses from Kanye West has crashed the Billboard Hot 100 at #28 this week. Well, it's re-entered. It was released as a promo single prior the release of Teenage Dream last year. Ke$ha's also on her way up with current single Blow reaching #32 this week. Another week, another Glee episode. Last week's songs have reached the Hot 100 with Baby, Sing, Take Me Or Leave Me, Somebody To Love debuting at #47, #49, #51, #62 respectively while their previous cover of Forget You re-enters at #90 and Firework slips to #95. With little to no promotion, Colbie Caillat's new single I Do has fallen to #96.

Adele - Someone Like You live @ Ellen

British singer/songwriter Adele has been in the US to plug her sophomore album 21 and with a cool promotional line-up, 21's set to hit #1 on the Albums Chart on Billboard 200. Dropping by the Ellen Show for a second time this year, Adele performed a jaw-dropping, stunning, bloody amazing etc. rendition of the piano-driven ballad Someone Like You. To be honest, I felt it was even better than the performance at the BRIT Awards. That was just amazing. Flawless.

Adele - Rolling In The Deep live @ The David Letterman Show

After conquering charts all across the world, she's set to do it all again in America. Her sophomore album 21 is set to nab the #1 spot in the US.

Adele - Someone Like You live @ The BRITs

The gorgeous Adele doesn't have to strip to the shortest mini skirt,, flash some cleavage, or jump on to the pop/dance trend to be one of the biggest stars in the planet right now. In fact, her sophomore album 21 is ALL OVER the charts right now and you can expect her to do the same over in North America as well.

Some nice promotion back in the UK (as if she needed it) was at the BRITs Awards, where she performed an emotional version of album track Someone Like You, and almost broke into tears near the end of the song. Then, she received an outstanding reception - this and her chart success proves that ultimately, by not selling out, she's been doing far better than her pop contemporaries.

The rest of the Hot 100 is exactly where you'd expect them to be, with Katy Perry's Firework at #2, Enrique Iglesias' guilty pleasure of a track Tonight (I'm Lovin' You) rising up to #4. Gaining some serious momentum is P!nk's F**kin' Perfect which manages to hit a new peak of #11 thanks to digital downloads. Taylor Swift also moves up with Back To December hitting #22 this week. Going from strength to strength is Christina Perri, who's Jar of Hearts has flown to a new peak of #26. Suffering a huge slip is Avril Lavigne, whose What The Hell has fallen to #31.
