112k for first day is good in the current climate but that figure will include lots of preorders. It’s probably going to outsell ABBA’s first week sales (unfortunately) but highly unlikely to sell anything like the first week sales achieved of her last two albums.

I assume you mean last 1 album because ‘21’ opened with ~208k

I've listened as far as track 8 so far and my personal opinion is that it is very very good, and to me more immediately enjoyable than her previous albums.

 

From my simple perspective though, it would be logical to follow up a power ballad (EOM) with a sassy upbeat track like OMG or Can I get it- they are both excellent, before going back to a power ballad like I drink wine (which is also very good), but it seems they are sticking with power ballad singles for now.

But what do I know, maybe that is the best idea for the Christmas present buying market.

 

Tbh looking at the track running times the singles seem quite obvious (basically all of the ones under 5 minutes lol), especially Can I Get It - Max Martin, Shellback, it’s the Send My Love of 30.

So Adele's special's audience is a load of celebrities.

I really wish they'd do these in front of audiences of layman fans.

112K? Wasn't that ABBA on day 1 also?

Can’t remember exactly but I had it in mind that was the weekend figure?

92k on day 1

Taylor swift opened with 50% more global streams on spotify than Adele. Adele is ahead in the UK spotify by 7.8m vs 6.1m…. Expected though, most of adeles album is boring.

Yet Adele's last 2 albums have sold vastly more than any of Swifts. Even 19 has sold more WW than most of Swifts albums and all of them in the UK. 30 will outsell most of Swifts albums and probably all of them in the UK. Is that because Taylor Swift's albums are boring? Nope, just that different people have different tastes, some music people prefer to stream while others prefer to own, and overall Adele's music appeals to more people. Doesn't make it necessarily better or worse.

Whats up with all this madness? Album is mediocre and will be no1 this week and one of the biggest sellers if not the biggest this year… why are you going crazy, i dont get it. Do u get percentage from the sales or smth?

I am a better pop manager than the majority oot there x I woulda got her more press and sales. Unlike Westshite, who never got either, and only got cheap, fake no.1s x Don't come for me, or your frtid Westshite wev will be dragged into the dirt x

Easy on me is now tied with her longest number 1 single in the uk, if it stays for a 6th week which I presume it will, it will become her longest running number 1 single! The album will do 300k first week and like the single probably stay at the top for weeks to come, it will end up selling over 2 million in the uk eventually

Taylor had a whopping 18 more songs on her album than Adele had to be fair, a comparison like that isn't very reflective

None of the above you mentioned will happen. Screenshot my post if you want.
