Come on, do you really equate Adele with Norah Jones? Please. I think that a more realistic comparison is Alicia Keys. They both had huge singles and huge album sales, and Adele will most likely win some Grammys. If anything, Adele is the new Alicia Keys - a multiformat artist.
They don't play Adele on Urban though... do they?! LOL
They wouldn't play Adele on Urban radio. "Rolling In The Deep" is #1 at Hot AC and Top 20 at both AC and Alternative radio, meaning she IS a multi-format artist.
Sure, but how does that merit an Alicia Keys comparison? 
Adele appeals to both the youth (she is inches from a massive pop radio hit, has segments on MTV news etc.) and also the adult demographic. That's more like Alicia Keys than it is Norah Jones that was his whole point.
In related news, "Rolling In The Deep" is Top 10 building
overall airplay.
