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?

 

Look, you've said this enough times by now and I think we get your point already...

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

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

I agree it won't sell 2 million, but am I missing something major that is replacing Easy on Me at number this week? Fairly certain that first prediction is coming true.

The weeks on end bit won't though, Christmas is coming.

My prediction feels a bit high now (I also hugely over-predicted Ed and ABBA too)

 

Intrigued at the Monday update. I’m guessing it’ll be on over 200k tomorrow with an extra two days sales added and some streaming added. I wonder if every orders been shipped yet though I still haven’t received mine yet (these days Im starting to get albums on like a Wednesday or Thursday) we seen with Taylor a lot of her sales come during the week I think she doubled her sales from Tuesday to Wednesday didn’t she maybe a lot of Adele’s sales will come during the week too?

^I wouldn't count on that, for what I read Adele's label sent everything well before release date so that people would have it delivered on Friday

minor correction. whatever i said is valid only for the album. easy on me will remain a couple more weeks there.

Why does that mean that it won't be number 1 for multiple weeks? If anyone was almost guaranteed to be a good physical seller in the run up to Christmas, it's Adele.

I'm interested to see if she can do 200k in Monday's update. Her first day was most likely closer to 125k when you add in streaming. So she'd need to do ~35k Saturday/Sunday. I think that's possible with people out Christmas shopping etc, plus some streaming data will be added too. I hope the special tonight gives it a good boost.

Hints that the vinyl demand has been overestimated...

That was tweeted on the day of release though from one store in the US. I assume more sold over the weekend and will sell a decent amount by the end of the tracking week.

I know I don't live in UK but yesterday went to Target and actually whole stand of Adele '30' album with CD and LP was almost completely empty.

 

So I don't know from which city that tweet is coming from!!!

Yep, but it still doesn't take away the point: they thought they'd sell more right away. Obviously we don't know what will happen by Thursday or Friday next week because we don't have the crystal ball.

 

I can see why indie labels are furious if the vinyl plants were booked to manufacture a product that a ) is worse quality than expected and b ) sells less than expected.

Isn’t it estimated to sell 1.3 - 1.7 million in America ?

That's what billboard said that industry experts are thinking. I think we get the proper predictions based on sales so far either later this evening or tomorrow.

People will still call it a flop or under performing 😂

 

Surely people can’t be that delusional that sales will always stabilise with artist like her and Ed Sheeran.

Or, if she is selling well, that's a clever way of letting people know you've got stock to attract people to your shop.

 

 

edit - although maybe not the shoddy packaging comment admittedly :lol:

Don't look at twitter. :lol: There are big fights of Taylor vs Adele fans with some ridiculous things being said. One Taylor stan was saying if Adele didn't outdo 25's first week in the US she was not as popular anymore and a flop. :lol:

It's a discussion that happens with EVERYONE when the anticipated era doesn't match the predecessor. I mean according to stans, Gaga has "flopped" more times that I can even count and she is still making headlines and coming for Grammys and Academy Awards.

 

It's not really a big deal outside the stan universe, careers fluctuate, after a decline comes an increase etc.

Did Taylor herself outdo 1989?!!

After 1989 came Reputation which was Taylor's "flop" era (it's all relative), so no.
