November 25, 20159 yr Author I think it will probably do 3.1 million in pure sales in the end, Crazy but so happy its Adele breaking all these records, Someone who is actually talented.
November 25, 20159 yr Poor everyone else in that record book, all of their relevance taken away by Queen Adele.

November 27, 20159 yr I can't get my head around this level of market dominance - just absolutely insane! I remember back in 2012 when '21' was accelerating towards the 10 million mark in US sales that people on forums were predicting '23'/the next album would likely debut with over a million in its first week (which was slightly more rare and impressive at the time as it was pre-'1989' of course). It obviously remains to be seen how 'frontloaded' '25' will be over the next year or so, but the general idea back then was that '21''s success was an utter phenomenon and very much a result of its time, while the next album would do around 3-4 million overall (which would still be absolutely massive by any other artist's standards) due in large part to the 'fad' for her and her music having passed. Obviously 'Hello' and the unprecedented response to it couldn't have been accounted for, but it's crazy that she'll fall in that predicted range in her first WEEK, and I can't see the hype subsiding anytime soon so it'll be really interesting to see just how close the album can get to its predecessor in the long-run. :o

November 30, 20159 yr Adele's Historic '25' Debut: By the Numbers 11/30/2015 by Keith Caulfield Adele’s 25 made music sales history, earned a milestone debut on the Billboard 200 chart, and instantly became the year’s top selling album in the U.S. in just one week. And that’s just three statistics behind 25’s huge arrival. Here are some more fun facts and figures associated with 25’s big bow: 3.38 Million Sold: Total number of copies 25 sold in the U.S. in its debut week (ending Nov. 26) according to Nielsen Music. That’s the largest sales week for an album since Nielsen began tracking point-of-sale music purchases in 1991. (It beats the previous record, held by *NSYNC’s No Strings Attached, when it debuted with 2.42 million sold in the week ending March 26, 2000.) 25 is also the only album to sell more than 3 million copies in a week. 41 Percent of All Albums Sold Last Week Were 25: In total for the week, there were 8.2 million albums sold in the U.S. Thus, 25’s 3.38 million represented 41 percent of all albums sold in America. Weekly U.S. album sales between late August and mid-November fluctuated between 3.5 million and 4.2 million per week. The lowest week in Nielsen history for album sales was the frame ending Sept. 17, when only 3.51 million albums were sold. 335 Copies Sold Per Minute: With 10,080 minutes in a week, 25 sold about 335 copies per minute in the U.S. during its first week on sale. 25 Sold More than Twice the Combined Total of the Nos. 2-100 Titles on Top Album Sales Chart: 25 debuts at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, and its enormous sales are more than double the rest of the chart combined. Nos. 2 (Justin Bieber’s Purpose, with 184,000) through 100 (the Descendants soundtrack, with 5,000) sold 1.48 million for the week. 25 Is the Only Album To Sell at Least 2 Million Copies in All of 2015: 25 is just the fourth album to sell a million copies in 2015, and it immediately becomes the year’s top seller, surpassing the 1.78 million sold in 2015 by Taylor Swift’s 1989. To put 25’s staggering figure in further perspective, in 2014, only two albums sold more in the entire year than 25 did in a single week: Taylor Swift’s 1989 (3.66 million) and the Frozen soundtrack (3.53 million). 1.71 Million CDs: Of its total 3.38 million sold, 25 moved 1.71 million copies on compact disc. To put that figure in perspective, 25 comprised 38 percent of all albums sold on CD in the week ending Nov. 26 (4.54 million). 1.64 Million Digital Albums: 25 opens with 1.64 million digital copies sold, a new single-week download sales record for an album. It beats the previous record-holder by nearly a million copies: Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, when it arrived with 662,000 digital copies sold in the week ending May 29, 2011. 49 Percent of All Digital Albums Sold Last Week Were 25: In total for the week, there were 3.43 million digital albums sold. 25’s 1.64 million downloads equate to 49 percent of all digital albums for the week. 22,000 Vinyl Albums Sold: 25 sold 22,000 copies on vinyl LP -- the third-largest sales week in Nielsen history for an album on vinyl. Only the debut weeks of Jack White’s Lazaretto (40,000) and Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy (34,000) were larger. ----- ALSO, 25 ended up selling more than NSync's No Strings Attached did in its first TWO weeks! It sold 800,000 in its second week so its two-week total was around 3.2 million :o
