Adele's album 21 shows no signs of slowing down. It has just surpassed 9 Million copies sold in JUST the US. It has remained in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 Chart for it's entire 63 week run and doesn't look to be going any where. It is rumored to be re-issued towards the end of the year with possible bonus tracks on it. Experts say that it should be well over 10 million copies sold by then. Adele says that she will be taking a couple years off before she comes out with a NEW album but to expect a new single by the end of 2012.
