charts discussion HDD: Adele 833k (biggest debut of the year), Taylor 165k

[Starkboy]

TOP20

 

 

 

First predictions:

One weekend in, the hotly anticipated 30 by Columbia’s Adele is on track to bow (at #1, naturally) in the area of 800-850k—becoming the year’s biggest debut and by far the biggest first week since bundling was eliminated from the charts (the last album to bow in this range was Taylor Swift’s Folklore in August of 2020, which racked up an 846k debut just before the rule change). Some 500k of Adele’s total should derive from the megastar diva’s handsome CD and vinyl offerings, as the proximity of the holidays makes the physical album a strong contender for under-the-tree real estate. Stay tuned for updates

Great numbers.

[Cruel Summer]

I'll give it 20 minutes before ATRL's servers have collapsed.

 

Certainly not what I expected, but as they said, the clear leader for the year and a mighty sum nonetheless. 

[BlackoutZone]

So it begins, keeping fingers crossed for biggest debut of the decade

[Sombre]

[ChatshireCat]

[Diarrhoea]

Less than Folklore

[Martyr Of Fame]

No one’s doing it like her

[wastedpotential]

Now I'm not one to say anything, so I'll keep my mouth shut but... 

[Near]

where are the people saying she was flopping at? great numbers, HDD usually underestimates too, redtv was predicted at 500k and did 600k, so this might rise through the week

Congratulations to Miss Adkins

Without bundling, dummy.

[FightDragonsWithMe]

3.48M to 850k   It’ll probably go up since that’s how most HDD predictions go, right?

Omg y’all lying in here. These are bad numbers. 77% decrease from 25!!!!

[dylanx]

let's see if this manages to beat Folklore for biggest week of the decade

[Diarrhoea]

200k more than a rerecording of a 2012 album with no singles x

[TalkThatRihanna]

That really isn’t good for her standards...

 

Oh well, the album is still great!
