Omg after listening to this album and hearing how great it is, I think it might be able to match Easy Like Me's first week sales!! So it might ve avle to get 201k. Matching a single's first week sales with an album is a HARD ASK in today's climate, as singles sell more but I think she can do it!!! Between 201k-213k, which is the Abba limit which is the new hard limit of where sales can reach I think.

The first album to sell 1 million in a week. Why not?

Haven’t got all the way through it yet but I’m liking it more than 25 on an initial listen. Only got to I Drink Wine, Can I get it is a bop though and strangers by nature is brilliant way to open the album.

 

What did divide do in first week streams? Wasn’t it 79k or something like that? I do think she could be within the 50-80k bracket at least streams wise. Her physicals will be interesting to see.

I think 30 is my favourite Adele album tbh. 21 is a close second though.

Hope - 400k+

Think - Around 315-320k.

Epic album! Stand outs for me are, omg, can I get it, hold on, to be loved

 

This will do anything over 300k

Her streaming number are going to be monstrous!

She will do more than what Abba did maybe with streaming alone. I know it would be crazy, but who can do it if not Adele?

Music week have just published an article on 30. The steaming equivalent sales record is 78,994.

200k album streaming sales?? Not even when aliens appear in the mediterranean sea. That would be more than 200m streams

Available on their site.

 

Interesting that this article talks about labels using Adele to get older listeners on streaming, if they manage that it could have quite an impact on what kind of songs we see in the charts going forward - for the better in my opinion.

Or to put it more bluntly, it would be eveybody in the UK listening to the album 3 times

well more like everybody in the UK listens to one song 3 times. if how the calculations are done. 200 million streams in total [excluding the top 2 songs] will equal 200k sales.

I didn't know that top 2 songs are excluded

I always thought it was the least streamed and most streamed that got excluded?

they count only top 12 songs for album sales. they exclude top 2 and make a total for the rest of the 10 divided by 1000.

They are not excluded, the streams for top 2 tracks are downweighed to the average of the next 10 tracks. If an album has more than 12 tracks, the 13-... streams are not counted for album units.

but the total is counted for 10 songs or 12. not sure i remember, probably 12, which means they are indeed not excluded but their extra streams are not counted and they are based on what the rest of the 10 songs do.

I'm trying to do my best to like the album but I'm just not feeling it. Maybe I'm a bit jaded with all the self indulgent rubbish she's been pushing on TV interviews for what seems like all of the last few weeks. I agree that the production is quite lush but the adele I fell in love with was the raw authentic one in 21, not this Hollyweirdo she's become

Do you actively seek out her interviews? I haven't seen any with her. I know she did one with Oprah but that hasn't been shown in the UK. From the occasional snippets of talking I've seen her do she seems about as far away from being a 'Hollyweirdo" as a multimillionaire can be.

Does she no longer live in the UK? If so, why?
