Enhsa 2,043 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Adele sold 7.44 million copies of “25” last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan charts. Adele’s sales figures are double what Taylor sold in 2014, with 3.66 million copies. Adele’s “25” was the best- selling album since Usher’s “Confessions” in 2004 and is the first album to spend its initial six weeks at the top of the charts — a feat not achieved since another British singer, Susan Boyle, released “I Dreamed a Dream” in 2009. Adele sold another 363,000 units of “25” in the week to Dec. 31. The Music Business Association praised Adele’s achievement in a statement but added: “We look forward to seeing how Adele will fare in 2016, especially with big albums from superstars like Rihanna, Sia, Elton John, David Bowie and Panic! at the Disco expected soon.” “25,” full of ballads about heartache and childhood nostalgia, was Adele’s first album in four years and benefited from massive pent-up demand. Her previous effort, “21,” was the top-selling album in the US in 2011 and 2012. http://nypost.com/2016/01/04/adeles-25-album-sales-make-taylor-swift-look-like-a-nobody/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdAstra 2,649 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Acting as if 1989 wasn't huge, even in the face of 25, is the epitome of band wagon jumping and delusion. But by all means, lets all gang up and destroy the former female front runner since we can't have two powerhouse female pop artists on the scene at one time.

Bloody 64,631 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Isn't it ironic how the previous year they were all praising Taylor and not they are trying to drag her down in every chance. Same happened with Gaga. Media are so fυcked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFamousLM 635 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't understand why. I mean she has a great voice and some good songs but I don't find her interesting as an artist at all and I just like 2 songs of her last album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
