Adele's 21 drops from #3 to #7, ending a streak of 39 consecutive weeks in the top five. This is its 40th straight week in the top 10. It's the first album to spend its first 40 weeks inside the top 10 since Britney Spears' …Baby One More Time hung tight for its first 50 weeks in 1999-2000.
I honestly can't picture the top 10 with out 21 so i wouldn't be suprised.
Probably. She will most likely spend the whole month of December in the top 10. January is practically a given because of weak sales, and February is likely too.
21 will break a lot of streak record on the top 200, but it won't outsell anything
21 will peak around 8Mill albums sold when all is said and done
this but the not outselling anything is not her fault.. honestly if the industry was still the way it was a decade ago she would easily be selling 25mill by end

and if you adjust it to somewhat 60-70% less sales than "back then", you'll have adele's album at something like 17-18 mil....
what's the best selling album by a female in US?
if only it wasn't for pirates.
edit: shania with 15.5m...
she'd sure snatch her wig with such longevity

But you can't say if it was released 10 years ago it would of sold this. It might of flopped 10 years ago the industry was different as were the major stars in it.
Albums to have spent more than a year in the Top 10:
Michael Jackson- Thriller
Hootie & The Blowfish- Cracked Rear View
Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill
Celine Dion- Falling into You
Shania Twain- Come On Over
Britney Spears- ...Baby One More Time
Nickelback- All the Right Reasons
Taylor Swift- Fearless

He's saying that her sales today are probably equivalent to those big artists' sales at that time, taking in the sales climate changes.

But you can compare how impressive the sales are within the context of the different sales markets.
Anyway, she's had the longest run since Britney, but does Britney really hold the record overall?
so i wouldn't be suprised.
