Here are the top ten overall best first-week US sales for an album:
2,416,000 *NSYNC, No Strings Attached (2000)
1,880,000 *NSYNC, Celebrity (2001)
1,760,000 Eminem, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)
1,591,000 Backstreet Boys, Black & Blue (2000)
1,322,000 Eminem, The Eminem Show (2002)
1,319,000 Britney Spears, Oops!... I Did It Again (2000)
1,208,000 Taylor Swift, Red (2012)
1,141,000 50 Cent, The Massacre (2005)
1,134,000 Backstreet Boys, Millennium (1999)
1,108,000 Lady Gaga, Born This Way (2011)
With the highly-anticipated release of 25 coming soon, where do you think Adele will land within this list for her first-week sales (US ONLY)?
With surprise iTunes release i really doubt that she'd reach more than 1M sales. But with normal release she could have a chance to beat Britney.
