![]() Billboard says four million people in New York alone tried to get tickets. Its lyrical content features themes of Adele 'yearning. According to an internal memo from Ticketmaster, obtained by Billboard, more than 10 million people came to the ticketing site when the 750,000 tickets for her US tour went on sale. 25 is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Adele, released on 20 November 2015 by XL Recordings and Columbia Records.Issued nearly five years after her previous album, the internationally successful 21 (2011), the album is titled as a reflection of her life and frame of mind at 25 years old and is termed a 'make-up record'. The album has sold more than 695,000 copies in four different weeks – the first album to do so since Nielsen Music, which compiles the US charts, began to record point-of-sales purchases in 1991.Īdele’s popularity is unrivalled in the live arena, too. In the week to 17 December, 25 recorded 825,000 “equivalent album units”, of which 790,000 were sales. For comparison, 21 has sold 11.37m copies.Īdele’s chart performance is being driven by sales, justifying her decision not to rush 25 on to every available streaming site. So far, Swift’s 1989 has sold 5.57m copies. In just four weeks since its release, Adele’s 25 has overtaken Taylor Swift’s 1989 to become the biggest-selling album in the US since … Adele’s 21.Īlthough the Billboard 200 albums chart is calculated using “multi-metric consumption” – including sales, “track equivalent albums” and “streaming equivalent” albums, the total Billboard cites for sales of 25 so far is a staggering 5.98m. ![]()
