Adele’s (@OfficialAdele) ’21’ Reaches 10 Million Units Sold In The US
From Billboard, where you can read the full report:
This week, the XL/Columbia release pushes past the 10 million U.S. sales mark in only its 92nd week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In doing so, “21” becomes the 21st album to shift 10 million since the firm began tracking data in 1991.
“21” is one of only eight albums to hit the 10 million mark within two years of release (104 weeks). In addition to “21,” “No Strings Attached” and “Millennium,” Santana’s “Supernatural” (60 weeks to 10 million), Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” (66), “The Bodyguard” soundtrack (72), Creed’s “Human Clay” (93) and Shania Twain’s “Come On Over” (96) all raced to the figure in under two years.
“21” shifted another 28,000 in the past week, bringing its to-date sum to 10,020,000. “21” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spent 24 non-consecutive weeks atop the tally — the most in the SoundScan era. It hasn’t left the chart since, earning 80 weeks in the top 10. This week, the set moves 31-35.
Rick Ross (@RickyRozay) GQ Feature
Rick Ross is also included in Gentlemen’s Quarterly’s “Men Of The Year” issue. The mag is on newsstands now, but his portfolio is available online.
Hey, Rick Ross, your album God Forgives, I Don’t was massive; your label, Maybach Music Group, blew up—was 2012 a huge year for you? ”It’s been a power-player year.” And how about being named the tenth-most-powerful man in hip-hop by The Source? ”I’m the typa dude who feels like he could take number two next year.” But why not number one this year? “The moves I make, I ain’t never in no rush.” Any advice for readers? “One, for Christmas go get yourself an MMG tattoo. Two, let’s all stop smoking blunts; let’s smoke out of papers.”Anything else? “Ladies, you all should just love me. Let’s all have a beautiful year, let’s get this money.” Okay, sounds good!

Mutya Keisha Siobhan (@MKSOfficial) In ‘Ponystep’ Magazine
The original Sugababes graced the cover of ‘Ponystep‘ magazine, and within its pages spoke on their seemingly eventual reunion:
Keisha said: ‘I remember sitting on my coach watching Mutya being interviews on ‘Lorraine’ just after I’d left the Sugababes, and Lorraine said “you might as well call Siobhan and get the original band back together.” I could see Mutya thinking “perhaps”. That was the start.’
‘After that I facebooked Siobhan and we said we should meet up,’ Mutya adds.
Although before the three ladies could even think about creating new music together, there were some problems to work out.
‘Me and Siobhan had to sit down and have that conversation before anything else,’ Keisha admits.‘There were a lot of things misconstrued over the years and we weren’t in a good place. But we reached an understanding and were able to move forward.’

@VirginMedia Announces Prices For Underground Wi-Fi Service
So I’m sure most of us know that the free Wi-Fi service on the Tube wouldn’t last forever….and they’ve come out with the proper numbers once that free service ends next year:
Unlimited access will cost £2 for a day, £5 for a week or £15 for a month, though this of course won’t affect Virgin TV, broadband and mobile customers and the same is true for anyone on EE or Vodafone, as the two companies announced earlier this week that they have struck deals with Virgin, giving anyone on their networks the Wi-Fi service for free.
As for any other services, you’ll be paying for it for sure with the hope that Virgin strikes deals with anyone else before then.
