Ignoring X Factor singles/charity singles/campaigns, Adele should get the third highest weekly sale of the 21st century, just behind, er, Bob the Builder (360k) and Shaggy (345k). Kylie (307k) and Cheryl (293k) complete the Top 5. In terms of first week sales, Adele's in second place after Shaggy.

Justin could just scrape 100k at this rate although it may be touch and go! Nevertheless, incredible sales for #2 :o

Looks like Adele will definitely surpass 300k.

 

Also, 21 at #12? LOL. I wonder where 25 would be if preorders were allowed to chart.

I think we get the idea that you're not a Ben Haenow fan now :kink:

And there was hardly any hype for it :o He announced it about a week before dropping it

Adele will definitely pass 300k then! :cheer:

Great sales for Adele and Justin. Both Hello and Sorry are tremendous songs, and despite not really being a fan of the Beibs (that could change given the quality of the music he's released this year...), it's a shame he'll miss out on it because of Adele's huge hype. Adele is a shoe-in for +320k looking at her daily sales as well as the missing data, surely.

I think we get the idea that you're not a Ben Haenow fan now :kink:

I like to be sure.

She will do at least 330k. Only on 2 Spotify day she have another 15k to add already... Another 5 k from the others? Maybe more? So she's already on 300k. Plus 30k+ for today? 330k+ is on lock. True legend.

Wish both Kygo songs switched places with each other. HFY looks like it's gonna lose another week. Drake looks like he'll knock Sam Smith out the top 3. Please no!!! "Sorry" looks set to beat WDYM's first week sales

Edited October 29, 201510 yr by Hadji

so >320k tomorrow for adele ~ astonishing success *.*

 

hopefully when the final tranche of streaming data is added drake and the weeknd overtake sam smith's 'insipid tedium ad infinitum 007'~

There is no debate Adele has her huge opening week under her belt, what do you think her second week sales will be like?
