Insane sales there for Adele!

 

When you take into account population though, it seems that Hello is actually more popular in the UK!!! (if you multiply Adele's UK sales to population ratio by the US popultion, she has "sales" of 1,654,693. Not that this is an accurate measure of popularity though.)

  • Author
That would make sense as the UK is her home turf, but it seems like a greater proportion of the UK population buys music in general anyway. I think a better account of popularity would be how much bigger her first-week total is compared to the average weekly total of the top-selling song for the past two months or so (which someone else can calculate because lol). Not that it really matters though; we're talking very fine distinctions of popularity here I think.
Apparently only the second time in Hot 100 history that both of the top 2 have been debuts! Poor Bieber getting so overshadowed, if Adele hadn't happened to release this week we'd all be marvelling at his dominance worldwide.

Gigantic sales for Adele!!! 1.112m is incredibly amazing!!!

 

As for Focus, as much as I was hoping for a Top 5, I have a feeling it might miss out on even Top 10 entirely and debut at #12. It's falling on iTunes (though it seems to stagnate right now), her Spotify numbers are good but not fantastic and her video views are not growing as fast I thought.

 

After the full week, I have a feeling focus will debut with 112k sales with 18m US streams from YouTube and Audio On-Demand. Having said that, people are liking Focus more now, most likely after her performance at the iHeart stage she did last week.

What was the other, an American Idol release week? I want to say Ruben Studdard...

Yep, June 2003 when Clay Aiken debuted at #1 ahead of Ruben Studdard.

 

As it stands also, I think Sorry is only the second song to peak at #2 in the US, UK & Australia, the other song being "Take Me To Church".

Chart Highlights

 

Adele earns her fourth #1 as "Hello" debuts at the top spot. It starts atop Digital Songs with a record-breaking 1,112,000 downloads, shattering the previous record of 636,000 set by Flo Rida's "Right Round" in 2009. As such, "Hello" becomes the first song to sell at least a million downloads in a week. Combining physical and digital singles, it's the second-biggest opening ever behind Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" / "Something in the Way You Look Tonight", which debuted with 3,446,000 copies in 1997. ("CITW" sold 1,212,000 the following week, making "Hello"'s debut the third-biggest sales week of all time.) "Hello" also debuts atop Streaming Songs with 61.6 million streams, trailing only Baauer's "Harlem Shake", which earned 103 million streams in its debut week in 2013, for the biggest weekly streaming total. But "Hello" does set the record for the biggest weekly sum for on-demand streaming: 20.4 million streams, eclipsing the 10.1 million total set by Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" in September.

 

Beneath "Hello", Justin Bieber's "Sorry" debuts at #2. The track starts at #2 on both Digital Songs, with 277,000 downloads sold, and Streaming Songs, with 23.1 million streams. This week marks only the second time that two songs debut in the top 2. It first happened in 2003 when Clay Aiken's "This Is the Night" and Ruben Studdard's "Flying Without Wings" debuted at #1 and #2, respectively, following the second season finale of American Idol.

  • "Hello" — Adult Pop Songs #8 (+17, Greatest Gainer), Pop Songs #19 (+16, Greatest Gainer)
  • "Sorry" — Pop Songs #20 (+9)
Top 40: Drake's "Hotline Bling" falls 2-3, but earns this week's Streaming Gainer honor after its video was finally posted on Vevo (too little too late). It rises 5-3 on Streaming Songs and falls 1-3 on Digital Songs. Further down, Alessia Cara's "Here" jumps 20-15 as this week's Airplay Gainer. The song ascends 15-11 on Radio Songs, 16-13 on On-Demand Songs, and 18-16 on Digital Songs with 47,000 downloads sold. Finally, Post Malone earns his first top-40 hit as "White Iverson" leaps 44-37. The track jumps 28-19 on On-Demand Songs and 40-36 on Digital Songs.
  • "Hotline Bling" — Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs #1 (+1, 1 week, Streaming Gainer), Pop Songs #5 (+2)
  • "Here" — Hot R&B Songs #3 (=), Pop Songs #11 (+3)
  • "White Iverson" — Rhythmic Songs #8 (+1), Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs #14 (+3)
Further Down: Panic! at the Disco's "Emperor's New Clothes" opens at #68. It debuts at #33 on Digital Songs. Below PATD, The Chainsmokers fly 95-71 with "Roses" as this week's Digital Gainer. The song debuts at #43 on Digital Songs.
  • "Emperor's New Clothes" — Hot Rock Songs #5 (+32, Digital Gainer)
  • "Roses" — Hot Dance/Electronic Songs #4 (+4, Digital/Streaming Gainer), Pop Songs #35 (+2)

MILESTONES:

2M: The Weeknd – "The Hills"

1M: Adele – "Hello"; Drake – "Hotline Bling"; X Ambassadors – Renegades

500K: Luke Bryan – "Strip It Down"

Is 277k relatively high by recent standards? I haven't really been following the digital chart figures this year but that actually doesn't really seem THAT impressive, I'm sure a couple of years back a <300k debut wasn't enough to debut at #1 on the Hot 100, whereas here it obviously would have been had Adele not released.

Yeah, it is—only "Drag Me Down" and "What Do You Mean?" have cracked 300K in the past six months. Three years ago the really popular songs were selling at least 300-400K.
