I can’t say I’m surprised that Adele’s British Vogue Magazine October 2011 cover didn’t sell. Although, I am a little surprised that this information comes from a named Vogue UK editor who’s happy to throw the cover under the bus because ‘music stars haven’t sold at all well.’ Editor Alexandra Shulman admitted during ToMax talks Fashion & Fantasy in London yesterday that Adele’s cover is one of the worst-sellers of all time. ‘Adele is the most popular woman in the world, but one of the worst sellers we’ve ever had,’ said Shulman. ‘I find there has to be a relationship with the person on the cover that goes beyond how they look. Our most successful cover was the millennium issue, which didn’t have anyone on it, but acted like a mirror so you could see your own reflection.’

Are YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!!!!? This has to be a publicity scam of some kind. She is on the radio NON-STOP and everyone is talking about her including the TV show, “The Voice” what hell is wrong with anyone who does NOT want to see or HEAR her. She is one of the top ten voices of the decade. Give her the respect she is due people…The photo is GREAT!!! I’m not understanding the problem unless we have people out there that are jealous…….
I think the photographer is to blame, not Adele.
The angle that the pic is taken from, with hair covering part of her face, doesn’t help. I have seen other shots of Adele that are absolutely stunning. So don’t blame the person, take issue instead with the so-called professional who has stuffed up big time in this instance.
I think she looks stunning here too. Like Joanie, I think it was the magazine content, not the cover art.
“The most famous woman in the world”? Her songs are popular with thirty-something women, but I wouldn’t say she’s *that* popular. You never hear anybody talking about her at all, even her fans.
Yup. She’s not popular at all. She’s only broken the record for consecutive weeks of an album being at the top of the charts. No one’s buying her stuff!
/sarcasm off
Are you insane?!?!?! Adele was *the* artist of the year and dominated 2012 so heavily that I’ve never seen anything like it before.
You could’ve put the most desirable woman on this cover I would never bought it. Look at the ”main article” titles, it looks BORING. It’s not Adele’s face that didn’t help, it the capability of your writers to write anything good (other that talking about The arrival of the Super-knit). Shame on them to put the blame on her!!!
She looks GORGEOUS but I wouldn’t buy a Vogue anyway the articles are boring
