When Billboard estimated 25's debut was equivalent to 7.5M in 2000, they only had her mid-week sales. Adjusting with her full first week, it's over 8.5M.
Quote:
Last week’s overall album sales were 8.2 million of which 25 represented 41% (3.38 million).
25's sales equaled 41.21951219512195% of the market to be more exact.
This week in 2000, 20,711,000 albums were sold. So adjusting, getting 41.21951219512195% of that total gives you 8.537M albums sold first week adjusted to the 2000 market.
She'd be Diamond in two weeks adjusting to 2000's market. 25's second week sales are actually higher than *NSYNC's first week sales when adjusting.

With her bad luck this era i could see it doing 1mil in SPS only and then have it debated forever that she didn't actually sell 1mil,like the UK situation. Come through Adele
Most albums sold in a year this century:
Usher 8.0 mil
Eminem 7.8 mil
50 Cent 6.5 mil
Adele 5.8 mil
Norah Jones 5.1 mil
Mariah 5.0 mil
Nelly 4.9 mil
50 Cent 4.9 mil
Linkin Park 4.8 mil
Shaggy 4.5 mil
So Adele would be 3rd or 4th place, giving her 2 of the top 5?
