2m in 2 days and 700k in 5 days?

I say 3.2/3.3M

You are forgetting, this album is the most frontloaded of all times after being followed by 21. Sales will cool down considerably

NYSYNC opening week is still more impressive imo since people actually had to leave their house and buy in store

Oh, please. It's not.

If we didn't have the option to buy online, I'm sure Adele would still break their record

[accelgors]

you know what i just realized? this means she'll have the best-selling album of the year for three of the last five years

Not at all. Adele's is much more considering sales climate

She had weeks of preorders also counting towards first week. Still think NSYNC is more impressive

You don't know that for sure

Their data is something else, it's always off as hell.

Click the date, and do best-seling songs last week.

"Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)" according to them was the 12th best-selling song last week, when it wasn't even in the Top 40 best-selling songs last week. "Focus" is also the 13th best-seller of last week according to them when it's well out Top 30.

The site just claims to "have real-time information instead of having to wait a week like Nielsen" but all the information ends up being so off from what Nielsen reports.

I wouldn't trust them at all. Mess at MBW reporting them as a source. & there's no way HDD would've reported they were expecting 2.5-2.9M first week today, if she did 2M in 2 days.

It holds up.
Watch Me is 39th best-selling; 'Focus is #28th best-selling song.

When you look at the chart, just click on sales, and make sure you're looking at last week.

Of course it's impressive if record was preserved for 15 years..

No it's not. You literally have no evidence to support this claim.

For all you know, it could drop by less than half next week. There's legitimately no way to claim it as "the most frontloaded album of all time."

lol you keep telling yourself that buddy

also, n sync's album came out in one of the strongest years for album sales and adele's did when album sales were a small fraction of that, i think adele's total is even more staggering

[Bubi]

That is tragic because her music or her voice simply aren't good enough.

[Jackk]

Not even mad. Adele deserves this!

im just speechless
