More stat and award glory for Adele
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 14 October 2011
So, yet another good week for Adele. First, it’s looking likely that the British singer will have the honour of best selling single and album in both the UK and the US this year, a feat not achieved, Music Week points out, since The Beatles way back in 1964. She then got the most nominations for this year’s American Music Awards, the US’s big punter voted awards bash that will take place in LA on 20 Nov.
And then cross-Europe indie label trade body IMPALA announced her album ’21’ has gone thirteen times platinum under the criteria of its Pan-European Independent Sales Awards, having been six times platinum the last time these awards were presented back in March. All of which slightly overshadows the other sixty indie label artists who also received IMPALA Sales Award this week, though we should still say well done to The Knife, Mogwai, Bon Iver, dEUS and The Horrors who were among them.
