Jennifer Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I bet Adele won’t be taking a long break after this. I expect another album by 2023 or 24. The label has to be so disappointed by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meev Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Just now, Bey'Knight said: Folklore also had a higher number of versions for sale. Let’s not do this. A leap year comes around more frequently than an Adele album, let the woman have her moment. Folklore physical sales were all from her website, which means stans actually needed to log in onto her site and buy the physical albums. Her sales are mostly not from casual fans or non-fans. This was also in the middle of the pandemic and many people were jobless 30 had the advantage of stores being open and people could actually buy it in stores.

JasperX Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 You can see where she came out short is where the younger generation consumption is, both Vinyl and Streams. It is a warning sign for her career in longer term for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adele just sold the most in pure sales in the last 4 years and almost outsold your fave's last studio album's 11 months of sales in just 7 days... I'd say that's not bad at all.

Alex21kw Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The biggest debut of the post bundles era by 33% congrats! 839k is the number to beat going forwards. Probably TS in a few years once vinyl sales and streams increase even more Vinyl sales and streaming for 30 are quite disappointing, but I blame this on her long hiatus. Vinyl sales and streaming increase if you "feed" the audience more often and you have a huge core fanbase - Adele doesn't, so this is quite impressive still.

Cruel Summer Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 2 minutes ago, Chika said: Why are there so many Swifties talking about Taylor in here? Who cares what Ms Swift sold 3 albums ago in the pre-rule change era? aside from the “rule change” literally not mattering I would just maybe guess that it’s because this is the thread for the weekly Billboard 200 and the article mentions her like seven distinct times, including an entire paragraph about why an album four years and six releases ago might have had a certain number of pure sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leap year comes around more frequently than an Adele album, let the woman have her moment. having more versions means nothing. fans are not obligated to purchase all 17 different versions. if Adele fans wanted to game the system they could have bought 17 different versions just for the sake of it too. plus there were enough versions to choose from (regular, deluxe, exclusive, vinyl, cassette, digital) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh My God needs to smash hard to revive the era. I see all her future singles doing very well on radio but below avg on streaming. Similar to the 25 singles. SML was spammed to hell and back yet its streams were not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
