No campaign, just a decent song.

Think 25 is incredible... Shocked at how she managed to pull off another masterpiece after 21 but she has.... When we were young second single for sure followed by 'water under the bridge' and then maybe 'send your love' or 'remedy' or even 'all I ask' as a potential shock single. So many options.

Wow the winners single is the worst I've ever heard, so bad... One direction to be fair to the guys were on top of their game and 'history' is a seller! Adele performing makes us realise how far ahead vocally of anybody on the planet right now, feel bad for anybody that has to sing before/after adele because they are no where near her.

Thought leona sounded awesome, I like Ben but was not fair to pitch him alongside a world class singer in leona.

Hope Adele can stay number 1 until she releases her next album in 4 years time.

Coldplay sales are great but they are heavily frontloaded since pre-ordering the album gave fans early access to ticket sales for their sold out tour next year. 250k

These adele sales are crazy, I honestly thought 2nd week sales would be 200k total but 25 is selling bucket loads because it's a stunning album.

Mariah.

Totally agree, we are so lucky to see such amazing sales and stats in this climate, there is not even a debate.. 25 has the most impressive opening sales we have ever seen and maybe we won't see it again. I fully realise we have to embrace adele and what she gives is. Incredible.

Actually yeah! I bought that album before counting stars was released from it, very good album but there are many better songs on it than 'counting stars'... Shocked that was the song to catapult them back up there.

Actually i disagree with MCR 'welcome to the black parade' was just a big song on a big scale, we'll agree to disagree but I don't like MCR but that song is great! Girls aloud 'promise this' is a shitty number 1 I reckon.

Yeah agreed! 'Must get out' and 'won't go home without you' are two of the best songs out there!

I'm a huge maroon 5 fan and i didn't even know they had released a singles collection, I only heard about it through here two days ago... There has been no promo whatsoever! They have a great singles collection but 12 tracks is not value for money, they have at least 20 decent singles to put on a compilation disc.

Hopefully situations like this mean physical sales later on in the week are still relatively high since people are missing out early on the week they are picking it up later on.

I can see it. I'm not gay... I think!! Haha

Oh wow, your comment is just perfect! Lucas hood is bad ass! Banshee is so underrated!! 'Water under the bridge' is my favourite song of the record too! Who are you? Haha

Great sales... Not suprised at all... I said weeks ago on the predict poll we could look at 750k maybe 1,000,000 but I know that's a bit far! Amazing sales though.. And I've bought the album and there are some great tracks there... 'Water under the bridge' and 'remedy' are outstanding songs and sure fire singles! Stunning album.

Think the whole album will be top 75. 1,078,000 first week uk album sales. 3,150,000 us first week album sales. I'm refuse to underestimate her.

Yeah agreed with people here, that Ellie goulding song is hilariously piss poor. She's not bad just surprising that song ever got permission.

Remember the glory days of the X factor when a performance on the show gave you a genuine shot a number 1, those days are long gone.... Doesn't even garentee top 15 now.

I've said before around the 710-730k mark for the opening week sales, It won't be under 500k I'm sure... 1 million is just crazy but the fact it's been mentioned in a serious discussion is a credit to adele, but its out of reach I think. I think it may break n sync's no strings attached album sales record in the US... 2.1 million I think.

I'm going for.... First week sales of 670k! And i think it will sell around 2 million copies this year alone... I also think in two years time this will be the highest selling uk album of all time. It sounds crazy but I think it's time to stop underestimating everything adele releases.

Hey I've just come back from Ella's show in birmingham tonight, absolutely sensational.... Trust me!!

Is it true that Adele has sold 70k downloads already? And how many streaming sales are we expecting her to get by the end of the week?

This Will be an absolute monster of an album, if the second single is commercially successful then we may see sales eclipse 21... Which is crazy but could happen. 1st week sales probably won't be beaten for years or even decades to come. Everything seems to be perfectly set up for 25 to sell... Anticipation, lead single, timing and promotion. Also it's scary that she said during the radio 1 interview yesterday that there is another song on the album that she says is her favourite and she can't wait for us to hear.
