November 21, 201510 yr (Without streaming) Streamings not usually included this early in the week, alot of NE will be between 20-40 so alot will drop as the week goes on. Great sales by Adele for ONE day, hopefully itll sell well throughout the week and not just for 2/3 days and she gets something like 800k that would be unreal. Adele once again single handly saving the music business :lol: Edited November 21, 201510 yr by steve201
November 21, 201510 yr I heard half the album yesterday in HMV, and I really don't get the hype, that aside if Adele had put her album on streaming sites she could have done an Ed Sheeran on the singles charts, as it is the singles won't do as well as they could have except for Hello
November 21, 201510 yr I'm not even a fan but *.* at those sales even though they were expected to be huge. I'm also thankful she'll save us another year of the bland Ed Sheeran topping the EOY chart. I wonder where Maroon 5's lazy singles collection has flopped in at.

November 21, 201510 yr Pleased to see Adele getting good album sales! :D Although it seems to be pretty low key, I should imagine Now 92 had a good day yesterday and will finish the week in the region of 175-200k, which would be a good result.
November 21, 201510 yr 313,000 copies in a day works up to: 13,041 copies in a hour 217 copies in a hour 3,5 copies in a second
November 21, 201510 yr I hope Tracy Chapman does well on the album charts, far superior singer to Adele imo. Enya will do quite well, I wonder how well she'll do against Adele in Ireland
November 21, 201510 yr I think '25' having a lengthy stay at #1 is a much safer bet than 'Hello' doing the same, once we get into late November and especially December the album chart kind of locks in place and there's very little movement. Adele only selling 3.5x the previous highest one-week sales of the year in her first day, I'm rather worried for her :s (speaking of which, has anyone commented on the fact 1D's actual sales were lower than Elvis' the previous week? :P) 313k is of course an incredible amount, especially as it's 'only' been on pre-order for 1 month.
November 21, 201510 yr Author Streamings not usually included this early in the week, alot of NE will be between 20-40 so alot will drop as the week goes on. Hence why I mentioned that it's without streaming...
November 21, 201510 yr They'll never discontinue the NOW series no matter what What about once the chart slows to a complete stop by 2020 and we have 38 non-movers every week? There'll be nothing to fill it and average Joe won't want an album full of flops and songs they've never heard. The writing may indeed be on the wall for 'hit' compilations.
November 21, 201510 yr MASSIVE sales for Adele, but not as much as Oasis sold on Day 1 (356K for those interested)!

Jokes aside, I wouldn't be surprised if they changed from 3 to 2 Nows a year in the nearish future.
November 21, 201510 yr Jokes aside, I wouldn't be surprised if they changed from 3 to 2 Nows a year in the nearish future. Or they would do what many compilations do around the world and just make it a single disc and reduce the price. The brand will be around for many years to come in some form I think, they certainly will want to get to #100.
November 21, 201510 yr MASSIVE sales for Adele, but not as much as Oasis sold on Day 1 (356K for those interested)! One almighty record remaining in tact :D
November 21, 201510 yr MASSIVE sales for Adele, but not as much as Oasis sold on Day 1 (356K for those interested)! The OCC report says 424,000 for Oasis http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/a...al-ever__12069/
November 21, 201510 yr Will be interesting to see where Kylie ends up next week. I suspect 1D will drop to no3 or no4 in albums.
November 21, 201510 yr The OCC report says 424,000 for Oasis http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/a...al-ever__12069/ They're presumably the inflated ones that were reported at the time, because it also gives the 696k figure for first weeks sales, which we know should be 663k.
November 21, 201510 yr Jokes aside, I wouldn't be surprised if they changed from 3 to 2 Nows a year in the nearish future. They did it in 1985-1987 when The HITS came along and also in 1990 and 1991
November 21, 201510 yr I can't see past a second week at No.1 for Sorry on the singles chart, in fact Hello's run is probably over now, I can't see it getting back past Sorry on sales or streaming now.
