Strictly finishes before X Factor.

Adele, Coldplay, Little Mix and One Direction will perform.

Adele concert shatters ratings record: Biggest in 10 years

Adele just had the highest-rated concert special in 10 years.

The singer’s one-hour NBC special, Adele Live in New York City, had 11.2 million viewers and a super strong 3.0 rating among adults 18–49 on Monday night.

Benefiting from a lead-in from The Voice, the 10 p.m. special — which you can see in full here — delivered a larger adult demo rating than any broadcast network concert special since NBC’s Eagles Farewell Tour on June 1, 2005.

Among total viewers, Adele Live in New York City is the top broadcast music special since Feb. 9, 2014 — CBS’s Beatles Grammy Salute.

And on NBC it was the most-watched concert special (excluding award shows) since Cher: Farewell Tour on April 8, 2003.

If anything, holiday concert specials often struggle in the ratings, regardless of their lead-in. Compare Adele’s performance to another modern icon, Lady Gaga, whose Muppets-stuffed holiday special two years ago had only 3.6 million viewers and a 0.9 rating.

Apparently the launch of US ticket sales was a disaster. They let scalpers swoop in and buy tons of the tickets, including some that were literally in the process of being purchased by actual people online, and now nosebleeds are going for up to $2,000.

I wonder was it any truth bout Madonna and her working together during the making of rebel heart. If Madge knew how to drop her range again I think she could have a comeback again

"I’m so proud of myself that I made him in my belly. Cooked him in my belly and then he came out of me! This human who’s suddenly walking around and doing his own thing. I can’t wait to know who his best friends are going to be, who his girlfriend or his boyfriend is going to be or what movies he likes… Whatever my kid wants to do or be I will always support him no matter what.”

I just adore how casual she is when saying her son might have a girlfriend or boyfriend when he grows up. Such a wonderful lady and great to hear this kind of thing from an artist with such massive appeal.

a bit ridiculous there's still people buying individual album tracks instead of the whole set, don't you think?

US 2015 Year End Stats

www.billboard.com/biz/articles/6835219/us-recording-industry-2015-streams-double-adele-dominates

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6835248/adele-25-top-album-of-2015-in-us

- By herself, Adele accounted for three percent of total album sales in the U.S.

- Best-Selling Album: 25 - 7.44 million

- Music sales and physical albums went out on a high at the end of the year, powered by the 7.4 million total units that 25 has sold. (Breaking down 25: CD sales accounted for 5 million units, digital 2.3 million units and vinyl nearly 116,000 units.)

- Overall album sales -- physical and digital combined -- declined by 6 percent in 2015 to 241.39 million (down from 257.02 million in 2014). Notably, 25’s impressive sales sum helped ease the continuing downward slide in sales volume. Without 25’s 7.44 million sales, album sales would have dropped by 9 percent instead of 6 percent. 25’s sales loomed so large, it represented 3.1 percent of total album sales in 2015.

"When We Were Young" stalled and is now decreasing at US radio, 77 million aud imp peak. Good but "Hello" peaked with over 200 million aud imp.

I doubt all involved care as they've made their money already, but I think Adelemania was overload for people and the industry.

It deserves to be a huge hit too though. She has Grammys and Brits performances coming up though, plus the video. It may rebound!

it really is a good song and deserves becoming a big hit, but then those who were most likely to buy it already own the album. and i do agree with bs, adelemania over the past few months was a bit too much of a phenomenon to remain intense, even though adele herself has been wise enough not to overexpose herself. she's most likely going ahead with those award performances and then putting an end in promoting the album to concentrate on the tour. besides, her record company will be pushing new singles throughout the year and any (millions of) copies sold right up to the end of this campaign should just be regarded as extra success and profit.

seriously, why does she even bother touring? if i were her i'd be spending my day resting on my luxurious couch while refreshing the web banking account page to get updates and drinking ridiculously expensive bottles of champagne in the process.
