I’m increasing my expectations slightly considering 30 just jumped to #1 on Amazon and the vinyl jumped to #14 (from #22) after a performance... in the US? What’s that all about.

I’m increasing my expectations slightly considering 30 just jumped to #1 on Amazon and the vinyl jumped to #14 (from #22) after a performance... in the US? What’s that all about.

 

Apparently it's more likely to be due to the 2 hour Adele doc on channel 5 last night.

 

I'm actually decreasing my expectations slightly. With Ed getting <150k and Abba blowing everything released in nearly the last 4 years out of the water and yet just about scraping past 200k, I therefore think that Adele getting 300k would be a massive achievement.

 

Anticipation is high, but not as high as for 25, plus the album sales market has plummeted, plus this album will not be withheld from streaming and streaming weighting is low compared to physical sales.

 

There's no doubt that Adele had an ability vastly outperform the rest of the charts, but if she sells 300k then she will have outperformed probably to the same extent as 25 did in 2015.

Odds being offered. I'm so tempted :cheeseblock:

 

Where can we bet ?

I cant believe there are people who think Adele will shift more than 500k

Is this still been offered? I fancy making some easy profit.

She's Adele. Drinking wine and getting rave reviews from the papers is just what she does. x

 

Indeed. The Telegraph compared it to Tapestry and the reviewer for The Sun said it was one of the best albums they’ve ever heard. It’s very good press leading up to the album release.

The record label Have pulled all the stops no doubt, to make this album a success including greasing the palms of the critics, I’m sure ;).

A review in tThe Sun, sure that's what i'd call greasing the hands of the critics :D

 

 

I think she’ll open with around 360K, which is still big or massive by the current day standards. Given we don’t know what the pre-orders are it makes it very hard. I do think she’ll challenge divides opening week streaming wise, If not surpass it, but the physical market has shrunk.

 

I’d rather not take notice of critical opinion as I’ve often found I disagree with them.

The reviews so far from the British press are insanely good which should help give it a little nudge.

 

It's Adele - the industry darling. Nobody's gonna dare say it's her usually bland oversung trash

But actually she's never got amazing reviews, not even 21, and 25 definitely got worst reviews than 21.

sure good reviews don't hurt but Adele doesn't rely on that

Looked everywhere for that first week sales bet, it's not anywhere. Would put all my savings on it if it was a thing.

But thats what they do with Ed, he got brutal reviews

Metacritic scores for Adele:

 

19: 68

21: 76

25: 75

30: 90 (so far)

 

Nearly every review is saying it’s her best album yet. She should be proud of herself because these are honestly some of the best reviews I’ve read in a while for any album.

You must have missed out reading the reviews for Taylor’s Red last week then which is currently on 94 on Metacritic.

Album reviews don't seem to affect sales in anything like the same way as movies or games. I've never checked reviews of an album before buying, but always do for the others.

 

I'd say for Adele the main thing that will drive sales after the first few weeks are the singles that the general public hear. It's been a long long time since she's released something with the drive of Rolling in the Deep. Not to say her emotional ballads aren't very impressive, but a slight break from them wouldn't hurt her sales I think.
