Will Adele's '25' Make Way More Than 1 Million First-Week Sales?
In just six days, we've all been hit by the "Hello" wave. Adele's comeback is a phenomenon felt around the world, and her supernatural ability to propel stacks of songs into iTunes libraries and onto shelves and playlists remains perfectly established.
So, 25, her first record since 2011's 21. November 20. This thing's gonna do great, right? Right! Take it away, Billboard:
"...industry projections for 25's first-week sales range between 1.3 and 1.8 million, which means it could claim another title: the biggest debut week for a female in the Nielsen era (1991 to the present), beating previous record-holder Britney Spears, whose Oops!... I Did It Again bowed with 1.32 million in May 2000."
