Every Record Adele’s '25' Has Set (So Far)
I get it, you get it, we all get it: Adele’s 25 is huge. Since the U.K. songstress returned this fall, she has dominated pop culture, from ruling radio to multiple TV appearances to impossible-to-find concert tickets to, of course, selling out CDs across the country. This week, 25 is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the sixth straight frame, and doesn’t look like it’s being challenged anytime soon.
25 and its lead single, “Hello,” have been unstoppable, but just how unstoppable? Billboard has been quantitatively tracking the success of Adele’s latest smash hit, and been dishing out some astounding stats, which we’ve dutifully compiled for you (all stats according to Nielsen Music). Check out a comprehensive breakdown of all the records and notable achievements Adele’s 25 has scored since its Nov. 20, 2015 release:
