Adam Lambert's New Album Lands on Billboard's No. 1 Spot

Adam Lambert's new album "Trespassing" has debuted on Billboard 200's No.1 spot. According to Hollywood Reporter, the album sold 77,181 copies after being released on May 15th.

Adele Planning on Re-releasing "21"?

Adele might re-release her immensely successful album "21". Digital Spy reports that Adele's album is currently the fifth best selling album in Britain, even beating Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Adele's album has sold approximately six million copies and with the re-release, the music company hopes that Adele will beat Queen's "Greatest Hits".

That being said, the re-release isn't set it in stone. However, if the re-release will happen, the album will come with an unknown amount of bonus tracks. All of the bonus tracks didn't make the album's final cut, but it does make sense to bring them out as bonus tracks.

  Kodocha 12 months ago That makes sense. A lot of K-Pop artists release re-packaged versions of their albums with bonus tracks and stuff. When it comes out I can't wait to hear it! Adele fighting! :)

Adele to Release New Single in 2012

However, Adele will not keep her fans waiting an eternity to hear her music, she will apparently release a new single towards the end of 2012. According to BBC the singer is rumored to be making the theme music to the upcoming Bond movie, "Skyfall", although nothing is confirmed.

Adele Flips Finger at Brit Awards 2012

Adele flipped the finger at the "suits" after her acceptance speech for winning 'Best Album' at the Brit Awards was cut short. The singer was in the middle of thanking everyone for winning when the host, James Corden, was told to cut it short. Apparently Corden was told to cut it short since Blur was about to enter the stage.

According to The Sun, the singer was then seen leaving the venue, although it's doubtful if this actually happened. Adele later on said this backstage:
"I flipped the finger but it wasn't to my fans. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, it was the suits that offended me."

Adele Wants To Shape Up And Slimdown

Adele may be on top of her game when it comes to music, but the singer wants her career to branch out into other fields. To help achieve this goal, the singer plans to lose weight to look sexier.

"Adele always swore up and down that she was comfortable in her own skin, but she's only human. She wanted to sex up her image a bit. And she thinks she'll get even more fashion and acting offers if she shaves off a few pounds," a source told Star magazine.

Aside from improving her image, losing weight will also help the singer's health. After undergoing vocal chord surgery in November, doctors suggested that she lose weight to improve "her health, her stamina, even her vocal range".

According to the source, Adele has begun Pilates, power walking and eating healthier.

Adele's "21" Becomes Best Selling Album In 7 Years

Its been 7 years since America has last seen an album as popular as Adele's 2nd album, "21".

In 2004, Usher released the wildly successful album "Confessions". The album sold over 5 million copies and spawned the year's biggest hits, including "Yeah" and "Burn".

In 2011, Adele's album "21" took the world by storm, becoming the biggest thing the music industry had seen in years. The album has sold 5.6 million copies in America alone.

Because of Adele's album, music sales rose in 2011 compared to 2010. Digital sales have increased by 10% largely in part to people buying Adele's music. The same thing happened in 2004 as "Confessions" and its singles helped drive sales.

After a year of promotions, Adele will be taking a break from the music industry in 2012 to help her vocal chords heal and to relax.

Adele Begins Vocal Training And Stops Drinking

Adele is currently recovering from the vocal chord surgery she underwent last month. According to a source for US Magazine, the singer has begun vocal training.

"[Adele] is in a great place at the moment... She recently started some basic vocal training [but] she's taking it slowly," the source stated.

The source also claimed that to further help with her recovery, the singer will not be drinking or going out. Instead, Adele will be staying in and living a low-key life for the next couple of months.

"[She] wants to keep a low profile. She's hoping the first half of next year can be pretty low-key - no concerts, TV shows, magazine interviews, music or anything like that. As she puts it, she wants to just take it easy and enjoy a well deserved break, with no pressure to record or perform."

In addition, Adele will be moving out of London and into the countryside to get away from the harmful pollution.
