Just seen this on ATRL forum, Crazy sales!

 

HDD: 2M+ a lock, Adele sales unlike anything we've ever seen

Regarding the early first-day response to the new Adele album, 25, the term “feeding frenzy” doesn’t sufficiently describe what's happening here in the States—and presumably around the world.

 

Early sales are unlike anything we've seen in the modern era. At this point, 2m+ is a lock. Can it break the 2.4m first week record? Can it hit 3m? Stay tuned.

Wow, 900k sales first day just off ITUNES! That is crazy, She will probably hit 3 million sales first week, I think she will easily be beating the 2.4 million record by NSYNC now.
As always, Adele smashes through even her highest predictions - she was predicted to shift 1 million downloads first week IIRC, and she's gone and done pretty much that in one DAY. *NSYNC's record is pretty much done for if this is accurate, it's mainly a question now of just how much she can beat it by.
Adele just continues to SMASH records left, right, and centre. So privileged to see this happening, especially from a British female singer.
Didn't think I could be anymore awestruck by how this era has played out for her, I was wrong. And she has SNL tonight too, wonder if that'll boost her even further.

ADELE: BYE BYE BYE, RECORD BOOKS

 

 

Adele is now on track not just to break the existing record for first-week sales (NSYNC's 2.3m), but to smash it to dust. The current projection for the debut of her new XL/Columbia set, 25, is

2.5-2.9m.

 

Could even this astronomical number be a conservative estimate? Will last night’s SNL performance push her still further into the stratosphere? How huge is huge?

Both Target stores near me today had sold out of their special editions and only had a handful of the standard one on display - Definately a 3 million week for Adele in the U.S. I think if she can shift 900,000 downloads on 1 platform alone in a day! :cheer:
Also Target have 10% off CDs this week in stores and online which started today - Also free shipping if ordering online so that is only going to further help Adele's first week sales added to the fact everyone will be out in force for Black Friday
Bloody hell, 3M would be absolutely stratospheric :o

25 has broke this record in 3 days she has sold 2.433 million following report is from the Billboard.

 

'25' has already sold at least 2.433 million in slightly more than three days.

 

It’s confirmed. Adele’s 25 has broken the single-week U.S. album sales record, according to Nielsen Music.

 

After processing the first sales reports from Monday, Nov. 23, the album has already sold at least 2,433,000 in pure album sales in slightly more than three days. That sum beats the single-week record for an album since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991, set by *NSYNC’s No Strings Attached, when it debuted with 2,416,000 in the week ending March 26, 2000.

Incredible! To not only beat the record held for 15 years but to do so in just three days is stupendous.

 

I guess the 'Be Here Now' of the U.S. - except this STILL has the rest of the tracking week to go!

It's fun but weird to think we're looking at the largest one week album sales we'll ever see, in both the UK and the US. This record will never come close to being broken.

INSANE. I get it, but still it's unbelievable almost.

 

There has been no hysteria around a record of any description since Candle In The Wind. :ph34r:
