BILLBOARD 200

 

84 91 Adele - 21 (10,921,000)

It's going to be a few years before anyone gets close to this figure.

 

 

It's going to be a few years before anyone gets close to this figure.

 

How close are you talking exactly :P? With the way the market is going, it'll take a phenomenally successful album to even achieve half of those US sales. Even Adele herself won't ever come anywhere near the sales of '21'.

For all we know there'll never be an album that'll sell as much as '21' again.

Illmatic re-entering :cheer: Would have been nice if it could have gotten a new peak though, #12 is far too low
