Isn't it the final week of November?

Yeah, but by Billboard's issue dates. The days the chart is published is dated 10 days ahead, or 2 Saturdays away. So as I stated, Traveller was the last #1 of the Billboard year, the chart dated November 28, 2015 (final week of November by their issue dates).

It's done this way to ensure enough time to tabulate year-end data, and when that data is published the date will actually be dated December 26, even though we'll get them on the December 15th chart.

Estimates for this year:

01 - 4.81 - 1989 - Taylor Swift
02 - 2.47 - X - Ed Sheeran
03 - 2.20 - IN THE LONELY HOUR - Sam Smith
04 - 1.83 - IF YOU'RE READING THIS IT'S TOO LATE - Drake
05 - 1.57 - TITLE - Meghan Trainor
06 - 1.49 - V - Maroon 5
07 - 1.46 - THE PINKPRINT - Nicki Minaj
08 - 1.45 - 2014 FOREST HILLS DRIVE - J Cole
09 - 1.44 - 50 SHADES OF GREY - Soundtrack
10 - 1.39 - FOUR - One Direction

Pure sales or SPS ?

[GypsyLife]

She's not my cuppa tea but it's exciting to see these kind of numbers in 2015. Well done Adele

Just because it "isn't going to be taught in history classes" doesn't mean it's not history. When looking back at the biggest moments in music history, THIS is one of them. The biggest debut & biggest sales in a week for an album in history.

Are we suppose to just be acting like this is ordinary and not something that happens once every few decades? The anger because she's outdoing your fave.

MTE!!

My dad STILL talks about Thriller.


Omg at 2.5 million. SLAY ADELE SLAYYY

[Jared]

Adele scalping all our faves! I may pick up a copy at Target just to contribute.

[LoKoPaNdA]
