Adele by far. I actually haven't heard of either one -- see how out of the loop I am? -- But after listening to both, I think Adele has so much more feeling and power in her voice. Katy is good, too, but I vote for Adele.

Adele Quote On Weight
"I want to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or Q. I’m not a trend-setter. I’m a singer. I’d rather weigh a ton and make an amazing album than look like Nicole Richie and do a s**t album. My aim in life is to never be skinny.”
Adele
Best Selling Albums Of All Time
The best selling album of all time, outselling its closest rival by more than 100% is Thriller by Micheal Jackson. Thriller has sold over 110 million copies worldwide since its release in 1982, with AC/DCs's Back In Black coming in second with 49 million copies sold worldwide.
By contrast the Beatles Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band has sold only 32 million copies, and ranks behind artists such as the Eagles, Shania Twain and even the Backstreet Boys.
It is important to note however that these figures relate only to reported figures by record companies and are for sales of new albums. Resold and secondhand albums are not taken into consideration when calculating these figures.
Katy Perry Trivia
In 2001 Katy Perry released a self titled album of Christian Gospel Rock under the name Katy Hudson. The album was released two days before her seventeenth birthday by Red Hill Records.
Red Hill Records subsequently folded in late 2001 and the album was never further promoted or distributed. Katy went on to sign with Capitol Records in 2007.
