Now not a day goes by that Adele will not infringe a record. In the second week of release, 25 , the third album of the singer, has sold in the United States 1.1 million copies . Who would not want to wake up and start your Monday with this news?
It is the first time since 1991, since Soundscan monitors industry sales record, an artist who succeeds in overcoming the one million mark in two weeks in the American market. For the record, after the first seven days, in America alone, 25 had sold 3.3 million copies.
Also in the digital 25 keeps its unchallenged domination: the album had 1.8 million downloads and is the third best-selling album of all time online, bypassing Sigh No More Mumford & Sons, who between 2009 and 2010 had been bought 1.7 million times.
Adele, who turned 27 last May, it is yet another success in a seemingly perfect career. Is 19 that 21, the two predecessors of 25 - the number refers to the age of Adele when composing songs - have sold millions of copies around the world, consecrating the London-based singer as one of the most important years '10.
In the United States, besides being the biggest selling album of the year, 25 - also by virtue of the towing of single-smash Hello - is the disc that has shifted more copies from 2011 to today, when you master the charts was ... Adele . Always her.
2016 the singer is expected to be just as rewarding: the tickets for the concerts in Europe next year are going like hot cakes, so that 8 new dates have been added to the touring British.
