Adele Marley takes the throne


The singer hits record sales amid the worst industry downturn
[El Pais - DANIEL VERDÚ - London - 11/04 / 2011]

When the world attended the funeral of the record industry out of breath or for some final words, Adele Adkins, a 22-year-old from Tottenham (London) committed to baptize his records with his age, he ran away laughing. With a beautiful voice and 11 songs written by her, her album 21 has shattered all records in the UK: from yesterday is 11 weeks at number one on the official list of sales, rather than as many as Madonna and Bob Marley (King Legend to date). And to top it off, this girl is cockney accent and also placed their previous album (19) into second place among the five best-sellers, a feat only available for the Beatles. But do not sink the industry?

Since January, the singer's soul, so white and commercial as its predecessors Amy Winehouse and Duffy (but no drug scandals or advertisements of soft drinks, respectively), has shipped only 2.2 million albums in the UK. At this rate, every Englishman will have a copy for Christmas. Almost nobody has managed to explain how something so old in a time when overall sales fell by 8.4%. "It's a combination of many factors: an independent record label (XL) has left him do what he wanted, producing the right people (Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth ...), good mainstream songs, a pleasing personality, a great voice, songs of simple disappointment and probably that when the world is in turmoil people want music that will provide comfort, "analyzes Tim Jonze, music journalist for The Guardian. The relationship with the label has been fundamental. Adele producers could decide what worked, What singles were thrown, the appearance of the album, he wanted to give interviews or unheard, refuse to play at festivals. It seems that only tried to make things right. So, with some envy and hope his teammates in the top 10 rejoice in their success. "I think it's great that at a time when people stopped buying records happen. Good voice, good pop that is not superficial and does not sell by how beautiful it is. Is unexpected and we all win with it. And on top I'm sure it was not calculated. Teach people that the problem may not make illegal downloads, but the lack of good ideas. I am very proud of my country, "says Freddie Cowan, The Vaccines guitar, the band revelation is tenth on the list of sales. In other countries like Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland the phenomenon is repeated. But in Spain, Adele is still a distant echo. In part, are scheduled as radiofórmulas: through anonymous surveys of listeners and criteria based on the repetition of a more than quality. Despite being number one in 17 countries including the U.S., this has taken three months to be heard on the radio. "You have to spend several complicated selection process. In addition, commercial radio is programmed mostly songs from the last two decades, the share of innovations is very limited and most of it is dedicated to artists," said Thomas Ortiz, PopStock!, Adele distributor in Spain. And above, the last major star to watch that does not on Twitter. This was summed up recently: "I do not write 'I'm in the bathroom, the food was very hot last night." It's just disgusting. "
