That top 20.

 

Adele  an album monster

Adele with her 2015 album. 

Adele continuing to slay.

No more words for adele 

Adele

 

And also twentyonepilots  What a slay!

 

Ed's lead is so big... I don't see anyone beating him. Maybe a huge release like Taylor.

ANTI still slaying over a year after its release.  GLOBAL.  

 

25 and Views slaying as well.  

 

The entire Top 4 is OUTSTANDING.  Good to see talent winning.  

25 over 800k units after two years.  

Adele  

Adele selling another million this year, when will the others?  

31.(-1) Shawn Mendes – Illuminate – 439,000

King.

Adele is unstoppable. 

Omg i can't believe how badly albums sell now, even with streaming included these numbers are tragic :(

8.(+1) Adele – 25 – 839,000

 

 

Adele.. 

JOANNE.. 

Completely forgot about this thread  

 

anyway OP updated (1 month update)

Adele with the only female album in the top 20 and top 10

 

Adelegend 

BTS #24

 

25 was so "frontloaded".

 

Adele is in this for the long haul, babe!

Where is Lemonade? 

 

After all that Adele fans read about how 25 was 'frontloaded' - nearly 1 million copies sold this year!!!

 

After all that Rihanna fans read about how Anti was a 'flop' - just over 500k copies sold this year!!!

 

 

+150k in a month, another million this year so far. Love my froantloaded fave and her forgotten album. 

 

Where's Lemonade?

How come X sold almost 800k this year?
