25 logs a third week at Number 1 with another mammoth week of sales, shifting 354,000 copies over the last seven days – giving Adele the highest third week sales for a Number 1 album since Take That’s The Circus, which logged 382,000 for its third week at Number 1 in 2008.


It’s not all bad news for Coldplay though; while their latest collection A Head Full Of Dreams is their first studio album not to debut at Number 1, they score their strongest opening week since 2008’s Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, racking up sales of 236,000. Their last album, 2014’s Ghost Stories, debuted with 168,000 sales, and 2011’s Mylo Xyloto notched up 208,000 sales in its first week on sale.

Will be front-loaded. The first week great, then it'll plummet into oblivion.

What's wrong with being front loaded? Least it shows people are rushing to buy their album.

The album is also being heavily promoted on Spotify so I'd suspect it will get a lot of streams

the album is good.. people need to get over themselves with the "go back to ur old roots" ****... hymn will help keep the album selling.. i hope they release 5-6 singles cuz this is good and im not even a fan

Nothing wrong but it's ridiculous how people are posting high iTunes positions and saying that they're still very popular, when it's only logical that the first week sales will be good.

The album is trash compared to their early works and they won't get any real hits. Where are songs like The Scientist, Clocks etc?

Adele can still outsell them, can't she?

Very good. I think Adele will still be number #1.

I hope Legend A lets them be #1 this week

Adele 50k+ sold out tour effect! And on Monday they will talk about the new dates and new sold out which means more "promo"... keep going!!

Adele might keep on selling 250,000 every week until the year is over. Especially with all the hype surrounding her new tour dates. That would push its total well over 2 million.

I need her to perform on the X Factor final just as one last push for Xmas sales.

extremely heavy first day but i guess it'll be very frontloaded. 25 will take over in one or maybe two days. i mean 50k+ on friday alone! wow...

Adele that includes preorders for Coldplay right?

I remember when the Foo Fighters temporarily knocked '21' off #1 in the UK, they started the week 23k ahead, ended up 7k ahead in the end.

Adele could reclaim the #1, but it all depends on how front-loaded Coldplay are.

Yes, pre-orders are included.

I thought the album isnt available in Spotify for streaming?

Adele will be #1.

Coldplay will drop off hard as the week goes on.

Block them Queen

YAS at both of them slaying.

All the people need to stop, like 100k weren't good already
