It was the second album buzz. Her debut album is one of the biggest female albums of all time tho

Norah has huge promotion on Amazon/iTunes/Starbucks, etc. Plus she was heavily promoted by high-profile collabs, live/awards show/movie performances.

Come Away With Me was a phenomenon, probably the biggest album of the 00’s, so the hype was big.

Adele's 25 tea. People was hyped because of how big their previous albums were.

[ChrisTheLoner]

Britney dominating the 00's 

[Stankonia]

Mary and Janet doing those huge numbers so late in their career is nothing short of LEGENDARY.

 

 

Ahh my ******* faves

[Rev8]

Wonder where Circus (505k?) would rank
