Ashley Banks Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Wow, he might actually come for Adele's record Imagine how inflated his ego will be if he does. He'd be even more unbearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually considering how people seem to be hyping how his album is going to rip sales records, etc? But removing all the expectations this is a pretty good number?

Rentboy Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) We have to factor in the very real general drop in album sales and switch to streaming. He is breaking streaming records which clearly will take away from actual sales. Overall his album is doing as brilliantly as expected. Strong across all platforms. Edited March 5, 2017 by Rentboy .

Koons Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I don't know why people are surprised, can only assume they're not from the UK - he is huge here, definitely close to being the male Adele. I'm so pleased nobody beat her record though, hopefully she'll beat it herself with her next album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentboy Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Nobody, including Adele, is gonna beat her records now. Not with album sales diminishing rapidly. She has set the bar at impossible heights as she is the last of the mammoth sales artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katykater Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Not surprised with all that hype he is building up and getting noticed by rubbing people the wrong way. He already toured stadiums in the UK and was the British male Taylor. Now he is selling out, crossing the borders to become global in a big bang. Looks like the new way of doing things might be massive spamming, massive attention whoring,... to the point the hate is gone mad. Frontload it to hell.

He obviously took notes from Trump.

blackbeatxx Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Thanks for the update! Obviously very frontloaded but still insane and he is still possibly coming for #2 OAT, but i think it's safe to say Adele's record will stay safe, given that he's 100k below what 25 had after the first 3 days!
