           I thought you were talking about sales.
Feb 17th 2012

                I'm just saying Adele's sales are deserved
Feb 17th 2012
13
                     There's no such thing as 'deserved' in the music business
Feb 17th 2012

Not buying it. We had Lauryn. She was Adele huge for a minute
Feb 17th 2012
