25's 2016 sales outselling Lemonade and Views. Why?
Quote:
Rank - Estimated 2016 Sales - TITLE - Artist ( Estimated Total Sales )
01 - 1,522,000 - 25 - Adele ( 8,963,000 )
02 - 1,463,000 - VIEWS - Drake ( 1,463,000 )

01 - 3,107,000 - VIEWS - Drake
02 - 1,997,000 - 25 - Adele

How come when it was put on streaming services its sales didn't change from week to week then?
Answer: Adele is the biggest album seller in the industry.

The first post already 
Adele is the biggest album seller, but it's pretty evident both will pass Adele by the end of the year.

It had already ran it's run in sales by then (hence why they decided to finally put it on streaming).

How lame is this thread? Most likely they'll both pass her. Everyone already knows Adele is a huge album seller so why bait people into stating the obvious? I am surprised though that's all there is. No shade to her or 25 but I thought she'd be on her way to another 3M by now in 2016

white people is the majority demographic and their taste is very vanilla, just like most of Adele's music (no shade, I like her but facts are facts)

Most of Adele's sales this year come from the first quarter. She's selling basically nothing nowadays.

Anyways Drake is going to overtake her by year end... The why is because she had strong sales at the start of the year...

Top Album Sales chart run for the past 3 weeks
25 - 8-8-8
Views - 11-11-5
Lemonade - 9-14-10
Something tells me it wouldn't be the case

Then why is it still one of the biggest sellers worldwide on a weekly basis if it's done selling?

Adele is the consistent album seller while Drake/Views is a huge streaming force. Different demographics come into play as well.
And yeah, Drake could pass Adele in sales soon.
