21 ON FIRE: Look for sales of Adele's multi Grammy-winning XL/Columbia album 21 to soar past 650k this week, and continue to gain momentum, thanks to the triple play of last Sunday's awards show, her 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper and Tuesday's Valentine's Day resulting in a perfect storm at retail. The album will spend its 21st week at #1, while total U.S. sales soar above 7.3 million with no end in sight. Will we have to wait five years for another one? Just call Ms. Atkins the Jeremy Lin of the record industry. (2/16p)
