nick4bty 2,758 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I don't think this was posted before, but I found it pretty awesome that both The Fame (#4) and Born This Way (#5) are among the Top 10 Selling Digital Albums of All Time, according to SoundScan. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-nielsen-company-billboards-2012-music-industry-report-2013-01-04 1. 21 / Adele - 2,841,000 2. Sigh No More / Mumford & Sons - 1,488,000 3. Recovery / Eminem - 1,199,000 4. The Fame / Lady Gaga - 1,053,000 5. Born This Way / Lady Gaga - 931,000 6. Mylo Xyloto / Coldplay - 892,000 7. Fearless / Taylor Swift - 875,000 8. Viva La Vida / Coldplay - 871,000 9. Red / Taylor Swift - 863,000 10. Speak Now / Taylor Swift - 795,000 Meanwhile, ignore the fact that no one comes close to Adele and all three of TayTay's album's are listed :coffee: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Not to mention, she's the sole female artist to have two singles (Just Dance and Poker Face) among the top ten best-selling singles of all time in the US as well. :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason 63 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I hate to be the one to say this but it's probably because of that Amazon 99c deal lmao. Still great!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKeepOnFallin 0 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 21 has sold A LOT more than that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I hate to be the one to say this but it's probably because of that Amazon 99c deal lmao. Still great!! It indeed is. And it's also should be noted that The Fame was the first album in SoundScan history to reach 1 million digital sales. That's a milestone. 21 has sold A LOT more than that... This is purely based on digital sales (the ones from iTunes/Amazon). Most of the album sales of Adele's 21 are physical copies being sold in traditional retail.

Its always still charting on iTunes,The vast majority of sales are digital now I doubt she sold 23m physical copies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Its always still charting on iTunes,The vast majority of sales are digital now I doubt she sold 23m physical copies This statistics comes solely from the US since it's the data from SoundScan (it does NOT include worldwide sales). And Adele's 21 has sold 10 million copies in the US, meaning over 3 million of her album sales in the US comes from digital outlets such as iTunes and/or Amazon, while at least 7 million copies were physically bought by the public since 2011.
