Teletubby 150,723 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Adele reigns supreme this week on the Official Chart as 30 making a record-breaking debut at Number 1. With first-week chart sales totalling 261,000, 30 scores the biggest opening week of 2021 so far, overtaking ABBA’s Voyage (204,000). It’s also the biggest first-week for an album since Ed Sheeran’s Divide in 2017, as well as the biggest opener for a female solo album since Adele’s last album, 25, in 2015. 30 comes out on top with 67% physical sales and is this week’s biggest seller on vinyl, with 16,700 copies sold on wax. 30 is also the most-streamed album of the week with a staggering 55.7 million plays across its 12 tracks. Adele also lands the rare Official Chart Double as Easy On Me claims a sixth consecutive week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. The track is now Adele's longest-running Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, outstripping Someone Like You (5 weeks). The singer spent the week in a three-way chart battle with herself. Nevertheless, with over 101,000 chart sales and 11.5 million streams, Easy On Me beat out two other tracks from 30, Oh My God, which claims the week’s highest new entry at Number 2, and I Drink Wine, which finds itself at Number 4. (Official Singles Chart allows artists to have only their 3 most popular tracks in the top 100, to prevent music’s heavyweight acts dominating the majority of the charts.) source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 38,683 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 That's insane. Only like 55k difference between Adele and ABBA but Voyage's numbers were like 95% physical copies so that probably means they sold more while Adele's streaming elevated the number ? Idk I'm bad with these numbers. Both are incredibly good albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic 20,830 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I don’t understand why Easy On Me is doing so well compared to every other track. You’d think the largest wave of people would be when it first came out, but it seems to be steady! Very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
