Streaming and sales start on Friday, she'll only have 3 days of airplay. If Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift didn't debut on the Hot 100 within 3 days of airplay, then I doubt Adele will. I think it's close to impossible to debut on the Hot 100 now with no sales or streaming, she's pretty safe.
I don't get this instant grat thing though. How much would've Out of the Woods would've sold if all its sales were counted?
I think Kworb had predicted somewhere north of 300k for OOTW.

People buy only "Hello": counts on iTunes song chart, included in my estimates, counts on Billboard/HDS
People pre-order the album and receive "Hello": does not count on iTunes song chart, not included in my estimates, does not count on Billboard/HDS
People first buy "Hello", then pre-order the album: does count on iTunes song chart, included in my estimates, does not count on Billboard/HDS

Yeah I get all that.
The confusing thing is that the last part normally still counts for the Hot 100, even though it counts as a negative sale for HDS.

Omg so she's crushing Justin like this without the effect of instant grat downloads of Hello

3 years ago when the sales climate was better and his first single opened with over 500k, his follow-up songs didn't get to 200k, so it's not like it's that big a deal...
I do it so I don't forget to get a certain album.
