'25' Predicted to Sell 3M 1st Week WW (Coming for a Guiness World Record)

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

 

So there we have some news from Adele... she breaks several records: 'Hello', the first single from her upcoming album '25', sold nearly 2 million copies in its first week at retail... an outstanding record in the 'download-era' and the highest weekly sales since 18 years, when Elton John's 'Candle In The Wind 1997' sold nearly 4,5 million copies in the week 41, 1997. On the Global Track Chart 'Hello' starts with 1,531,000 points, the first song with more than one million points in a single week since the start of our Mediatraffic Top 40 in January 1999.

 

In the USA 'Hello' starts with 61.6 million streams. Only one track has posted a greater weekly total on Streaming Songs (which originated on March 2, 2013): Baauer's 'Harlem Shake', which peaked with 103 million (powered heavily by user-generated clips featuring the song's audio) the week that the survey debuted.

 

According to industry-suggestions the upcoming album '25' could sell more than 3 million copies in its first week... it would be a new all-time record! The current record-holder is Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada. Her album 'Distance' was released at March 28, 2001 and sold 3,002,720 copies in its first week, according to Oricon... enough for an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.

Nobody will ever break this record again.

She will always be remembered as the ultimate Queen of Pop.

OMG I am not even a fan of hers but her talent is undeniable! I am happy for her!

I actually doubt this i think it'll sell the same as 1989 or just higher if she's lucky

[Red 98,354]

Why do I get the teas that 25 will be the best selling album of the century?  

[Dramatica 13,690]

Media Traffic who?

[Bio 23,538]

I highly doubt that

[mucinex 4,260]

i expect more than a million, definitely, maybe close to 2 million. but 3 million is pushing it. way too far. i'm sure she could sell 3 million, easily, but in the first week? i don't see that happening, sorry.

[GloZell Green 11,723]

WOW QUEEN

[Spyro 8,438]

more like 25 million copies

 

[Redstreak 6,653]

That's insane

Some of you are still underestimating her?  Lol. I doubted she would break Flo Rida's record but she even doubled his numbers. I won't doubt her again.

I think that her album will sell 1 - 1.5 million first week. Her next single won't sell as much as "hello" I really think it is hype and anticipation (it paid off). I still have only heard it once on the radio and people I talked to haven't even heard the song. It's kinda weird.

But I am glad she broke so many records because some of these other people who had it didn't deserve it.

Guess who will slay at the Grammy next year lol

Hello sold that much, the album will sell a ton more
