*Despite the recent popularity of British singer Adele, legendary singer Sade is still beating out the Pop sensation with more US tour sales.
According to the Daily Mail, Sade still draws a bigger crowd with her sultry sounds and soothing voice.

I think you guys missed the point of the article. This is not about putting down Adele. It’s more about how amazingly successful Sade still is, even when compared to the best new British artists on the scene.
