So, no.

Why are you saying no though? Did your fave manage the same numbers with all the hit singles? You cannot deny the fact that selling 18M based on one hit is massive.

[7/27]

Yes they had better first week sales for their album without a hit than their album with a hit

But Work was #1 for 9 weeks. The queen slayed.

[Hall Of Flames]

Rated R was selling well and Russian Roulette was a underperformance, so yes.

He just answered the question: "Can Your Fave Sell an Album Without a Hit Single? "

of course it is massive but we wanted to answer the question whether a fave could sell an album without one. in ADELE's case, she would have still sold the same but the initial question was "without a hit single" and referring to that - the answer is "no" because we don't know it - "Hello" was massive

Still a hit by the general standard.

Legend

[Coklek92]

Yes, Michael Buble's Christmas sold over 10M without a single hit

And Taylor's self titled (5.8M) and Speak Now (6M)

[taylor__fan]

She can sell both, wich is way more impressive, not everybody has that

Ehm you clearly don't know what the effect of a gimmick is...

of course i do. but some of the hate or the ways people try to belittle Bey's success is just getting too much. "gimmicks" (if you want to call it like that) draw attention but only for a short range of time.

I'm saying that the constant success and selling power of her is pretty remarkable. I don't think Mariah nor Rih (and i'm a fan of both) would have been able to pull these numbers - without a hit single and only TIDAL

Plus "LEMONADE" wasn't aired in any European countries at all

[Solarie]

Brutney could obv. Britney era alone >>>

19 has sold what, 8 million world wide?

[Aegean]

Yes. In the US alone, Britney the album sold 5.5M without a Top 25 single.

[makeme]

Yes Britney can very well.

[6_INCH_HEELS]

Yes. And she makes it look so easy.

[taylor__fan]

Why always the "without a hit single!" or "without promo" excuses?
If some people can't have hits or are too lazy to do promotion is their fault, and I don't think nobody can use it as an excuse and say that they could have been more successful, because that didn't happen

OT: As I said, I can't tell because my fave doesn't flop with her singles

[willmcclure9]

Yeah and she can without gimmicks

Yeah i'm not trying to discredit anyone, i'm just objectively defending Edge's reply lol.
Most of the sales were due to "21"'s huge success. People started to discover ADELE and started purchasing the old material.

[perfectlover]

Yes

[PrinceLightning]

Yes.
