CHART STORY: 25 NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
Adele Breaks Second-Week Sales Record, Earning Another Million
Let’s be real—it’s Adele’s world and we’re just living in it. The XL/Columbia vocal powerhouse and flat-out megastar has become the first artist in recorded history to sell more than 1m in her first and second weeks, according to the HITS Album Sales Chart. This brings her total to 4.4m after just 14 days. On the Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart, meanwhile, she also moves just under 1.1m units.
Consequently, predecessors 21 and 19 hold strong at #16 and #30, respectively. We’d like to take this moment to wish you and your loved ones a very Adele Christmas.
The holiday spirit has also boosted RCA a cappella stars Pentatonix, whose 2014 That’s Christmas to Me bolts back into the Top 5 at #3 with another 76k. The album should continue to grow throughout the month. This year’s self-titled PTX release—which consists of mostly original material—leaps to #8 with help from a $6.99 sale at iTunes.
Also lifted by that very same sale,
Justin Bieber’s Purpose (RBMG/Def Jam) holds strong at #2 with 141k (and 220k at SPS), while Carrie Underwood’s Storyteller (19/Arista Nashville) hits #5 and Blake Shelton’s Reloaded (Warner Bros. Nashville) goes #35-9.
