Billboard: “Midnights” sold more than 800k copies in its first day in USA

Doesn't matter how the album compares, she deserves every sale simply because of how masterful the build up and roll out was

These numbers are utterly baffling. I mean Uggs and Crocs are so ug(g)ly. Yet they sale like crazy. Is it just because they're comfy ?

Impressive.

And this with a great album but without a really comercial and catchy song. Imagine what could happen if that was the case... Scary

1989 TV maybe?

It's also nice to see a female artist in her 30s doing these numbers. Sometimes it feels like the music industry is all just young teens and early 20s running it but her slaying like this is nice (especially for a female artist...the industry and public start to lose interest in them most of the time once they enter their 30s).

Huge numbers. Isn't this only because of all the variations though? Huge, huge Taylor fan here (not trying to discredit her) but the number would be much lower if it reflected the number of people who bought the album, no?

Adele had much less versions of 30, she didn't have signed copies, colored vinyls or alternative covers, did not add new songs to her album after release.

tbh what DID adele do? it really feels like she dropped the album and dipped

Honestly, though, how many of these are people buying multiple copies to make a clock or get a like on Instagram?

She had to go back to the ocean. She is like Mariah Carey, who lives in the ocean and visits us once a year during Christmas. Adele lives deeper and can visit us only once every five years for a short period of time.

Okay but did she sell 800k first day? Maybe she should’ve thought about doing that

Just a bunch of phone pics and some plain Helvetica on white background.  Lazy layout disguised as arty minimalism.
