Adele’s first album in four years is set to break records during its first week in release. At a time when “people don’t buy albums,” 25 is on track to sell at least 2.5 million copies—and might even crack 3 million. For reference, Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” (the year’s previous biggest debut) sold 522,000 units in a week, while Adele pushed 900,000 copies of “25” in a day. The all-time-best sales week belongs to *NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached,” which boasts an untouched 2.41 million copies 14 years ago.
According to New York Times, Adele's next album "25" will not be available on streaming platforms i.e. iTunes, Spotify etc. The Hello singer may just want to throw things back to the olden days where you have to sort for physical album if you want your favourite singer's album. Or her decision may be because of royalty problem, no one ones.
The album however is projected to sell about 1.5 - 1.8 million copies in its first week. If She sells that much she will be the first singer to sell a million in a week in 2015. The album will hit stores tomorrow, Friday November 20.
