Adele wasn't exactly a big hit on the cover of British Vogue. "Adele is the most popular woman in the world, but one of the worst sellers we've ever had," Editor in Chief Alexandra Shulman revealed, according to vogue.co.uk. Ouch.

So why was the English singer such a flop in ... England? "Music stars haven't sold at all well," she explained. "I find there has to be a relationship with the person on the cover that goes beyond how they look." And everyone has a relationship with ... themselves. "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!" she said.

So who would Shulman love to see on the cover? One certain pretty English princess, for starters. "I'd love to have Kate Middleton on the cover. I assure you it is not for want of asking," she said. We're not really sure where the Adele cover went wrong. She's super popular, super talented and very beautiful. Do you think Vogue readers (at least British Vogue) readers prefer more typical fashion-y types?

I can't believe that everyone here is so shallow and mean. That brought my day down reading all of your evil comments.

There's a line between having pride and being arrogant. I'm not thin but it's still a rude thing to say, I mean you wouldn't like it if somebody said "I'd rather be slender than a whale".

I'd rather look at a heaver girl than just skin and bones. Besides she's very beautiful.

She needs to lose weight to be on the cover of a magazine?

There is nothing wrong with her maybe those that run the magazine ought to be looking at the magazine's content, a pretty face in a magazine cover is not gonna guarantee sales unless it's Maxim or Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. :D

I think "ADORING ADELLE" was a bad title for the cover story. If music stars haven't sold well, that title under her face isn't likely to help matters.

She looks flawless. I bet if she was half-naked or showing her boobs it would've sold more. Ain't that a shame?

Moreso than others. Of course it couldn't possibly have anything to do with crappy content, could it.

Nothing predictably wrong with Adele on Vogue's cover. People may be "Adeled out". Just about everything there is to know about her was published in print and online during the time period of the music awards.
