TOP 15: ADELE'S MULTIPLE MILLIONS? (UPDATE)
Adele may add even more to the record books, as she looks to move more than 1m in second-week sales. No artist has ever sold over 1m in two consecutive weeks. We’ll be keeping an eye on the numbers every morning until the chart closes. Adele now looks like she may move 7m+ by the end of 2015.
Adele (XL/Columbia) 1m+ albums, 1.03m-1.05m SPS [25]
Billboard: Adele's '25' Set for Million-Selling Second Week in U.S.
Quote:
Adele's 25 has now sold more than 4.2 million in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music.
That would make it the first album to sell a million copies in two different weeks since Nielsen Music began tracking sales data in 1991.
As of Dec. 3, industry forecasters suggest 25 should surpass 1 million in U.S. sales in its second tracking week (Nov. 27-Dec. 3). Nielsen Music earlier reported that 25 had sold at least 840,000 copies in its second week (through initial reports processed on Dec. 1). So far, 25 has sold more than 4.2 million in total in the U.S.
No records will be broken a week from now, but Columbia will almost certainly be the runaway winner in both metrics once again. At present, Adele is looking like 850-875k for week two.
