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 also lacks Rhy airplay so that's 2 major formats she's excluded from. I also don't see Adele producing multiple top 40 hits like Alicia.
Alicia's debut only spawned two Top 40 hits. So, Adele is already selling (the equivalent) of Alicia in 2001, she's had one Hot 100 Top 2 hit / Pop Top 10 hit, she'll most likely win multiple Grammys.
I don't understand how that has anything to do with Adele not appealing to urban and rhy formats, or me not thinking Adele will continue to release albums with top 40 hits.
