Congrats to her.


Britney held the record for a long time. That fact that its finally getting broken doesn't undermine the star that was Britney Spears.

I don't want to see anyone come for Britney because no other girl broke her record. Yall will look ignorant.

As a longtime Britney stan it's hard to give up this incredible record, but if anyone deserves it, it's Adele.

No one was doubting she'll beat Flo Rida's record. I'm glad she did btw.

Britney surely isn't safe. The Army better start praying.

Pressed? I'm amazed

The fact that she might beat NSYNC's record is unreal.

A lot of people doubted she would break the record from Flo. Don't you remember? Most people were thinking 350k-450k range

What is this nonsense. She's already has over 500K in PREORDERS ALONE.

Let's not even forget the fact that Hello sold 1.2 million opening week on top of the fact her SPS will be INSANE.

Britney's record is demolished at this point (which is an impressive in itself considering Britney actually held this record for 15 years).

She's not a front loaded selling artist though. I don't see her fan base running to get her next record. Her fan base is the gp and band wagoners.

She's going to have a huge debut this era.

No one was checking for Adele before Rolling In The Deep.

Then Adele slaughted with the 1, 2, 3 punch of Rolling In The Deep, Someone Like You, and Set Fire To The Rain.

All the praise, and awards caused the album to sell so much.

Coming off of that hype, she's definitely front loaded.

Front loaded in the sense that she's going to sell a **** ton the first week, and also have longevity as well.

To deny that is just idiotic, Hello sold 1.12M the first week....and that was the single, not the album.

No one thought Hello would sell as much it did but there you go.

I think you're severely underestimating her first week since Adele appeals to virtually everyone.

[LostInStereo100]

I hate when people say she's not front loaded. Of course she is now. She's never had an era where she started the era as an established artist. No one really knew Adele when RITD was starting. Especially in the states. Now she's a major star, of course she's more front loaded now than she ever was

How can you say this after Hello and her pre orders. A messs

[Costea]

Imagine if she released 25 while sales were still huge

Right. They're comparing 25 to 21, when 21 is primarily the reason people will flock to stores on opening day/week. Adele is a household name now thanks to 21. She's no longer someone people are just discovering, so the first few weeks will have higher sales than 21's. I don't know why this even needs to be explained, though.

Incredible. I hope she snatches NSync's weave

Imagine what she would have sold back in the days when people bought music like crazy (circa 2000). She probably would've moved like 4 or 5 million copies in one week
