The biggest sales week for Adele!!!

The last time a non debuting album sold more was in 2008 when Josh Groban's Noel sold 757,000 during christmas

19 sold 87,000!!!

Quote:
“6 - Grammy Awards won by Adele on Feb. 12. Her total Grammy count now stands at eight, as she earned two trophies at the 2009 ceremony.

730,000 - Number of copies "21" sold in the U.S. last week (ending Feb. 19) according to Nielsen SoundScan.

207% - The sales gain "21" earned in the week after the Feb. 12 Grammy Awards.

7,353,000 - Total number of copies "21" has sold in the U.S.

2.34% - Percentage of the U.S. population that owns "21" (based on the U.S. Census Bureau's current population estimate of 313,059,000; and if each "21" owner only has one copy).

21 - Number of weeks "21" has spent at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

9 - Number of albums that have spent 21 weeks or more at No. 1 in history.

52 - Weeks that "21" has been in release. Also the total number of weeks the album has been in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Oct. 2, 2004 - With Adele's "21" and "19" in the top four concurrently, it's the first time an act has had a pair of albums in the top four since Nelly on Oct. 2, 2004.

3 - "21" has spawned three singles thus far, and all of hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart: "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain."

709,000 - Downloads sold last week of those three singles: "Rolling in the Deep" shifted 271,000 (up 115%), "Set Fire to the Rain" did 254,000 (up 36%) and "Someone Like You" sold 183,000 (up 44%).

I'm sure the last one means that she has set a record for the most singles sold in 1 week from an album by a living british artist, only beaten by The Beatles.

And her speech was cut short!!!!!!!!!!!

Her second speech. She had already given one earlier in the evening. Who else would she have left to thank?
It was live it over ran. It wasn't a deliberate slight.

And '19' also went to a new peak of #4 in the US, four years after release.

I'm calling it early - '21' will be the biggest selling album in 2012. I think of the non-soundtrack albums only Thriller has been best selling album in 2 consecutive years. To say the US have taken to Adele is a bit of an understatement . Having said that just about the whole of the developed World has taken to her (even Japan are starting to wake up to her talents). This album is making history.
