Renan90 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Adele’s ‘30’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 With Biggest Week of the Year Plus: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' 'Raise the Roof' bows in the top 10. Adele’s new album 30 blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, debuting with the largest week of 2021 for any album, while the set is already the biggest-selling album of the year. It’s the third No. 1 for the superstar, following 25 (10 weeks on top in 2015-16) and 21 (24 weeks in 2011-12). 30 is Adele’s first album in six years, since she released 25 on Nov. 20, 2015. 30 starts with 839,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 25, according to MRC Data. That’s by far the largest week of the year for any album by units earned, surpassing the debut of Drake’s Certified Lover Boy, which earned 613,000 units in the week ending Sept. 9. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Dec. 4, 2021-dated chart (where 30 debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Nov. 30. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram. Of 30’s 839,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 25, album sales comprise 692,000, SEA units comprise 141,000 (equaling 185.39 million on-demand streams of the set’s 12 tracks) and TEA units comprise 6,000 units. 30’s 692,000 album sales’ total is easily the largest sales week of the year for any album. It nearly doubles the year’s previous biggest sales week, when Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) sold 369,000 in the week ending Nov. 18. Further, 30’s sales of 692,000 immediately make the set the biggest-selling album of the entire year, surpassing the total sales of any album over the past 11 months combined. The year’s previous biggest-selling album was Swift’s 2020 release Evermore, which has sold 471,000 in 2021. Of 30’s total album sales (692,000), physical album sales account for 487,000 of that figure (378,000 in CDs; 108,000 in vinyl LPs; and just under 2,000 in cassette tapes) and digital album sales comprise 205,000. (30 has the second-largest sales week for a vinyl album since MRC Data began tracking sales in 1991. Only Swift’s Red [Taylor’s Version] has sold more copies on vinyl in a single week since 1991, with 114,000 sold in the week ending Nov. 18, as reflected on the charts dated Nov. 27.) https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/adele-30-billboard-200-albums-chart-debut-1235003213/ Billboard 200: #1(new) @Adele, '30' 839,000 [185.39 million on-demand streams | 692,000 pure sales].

Adele’s ‘Easy on Me’ Rebounds for Fifth Week Atop Billboard Hot 100, ‘Oh My God’ Debuts at No. 5 As Adele‘s new LP 30 blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the biggest week of 2021, lead single “Easy on Me” rebounds for a fifth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The ballad reigns as the most-streamed and top-selling song of the week — and, for the first time, the most-heard hit on radio. Notably, it’s the first song to lead in all three metrics simultaneously since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, in 2017. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Dec. 4) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Nov. 30).
