bigger era: 4 vs 30 ?

 

which and why?

 

which 4th album by a GLOBAL LEGEND is bigger?

Easily 4. That is a remembered classic.  To be honest, I am not even sure what 30 is.

I mean, 30 has already outsold 4 and EOM is bigger than all 4 singles combined.

obviously because its an 11 year old album lol

4. 

what happened to 4 daily streams? it used to be in the 750-800k range.

did it happen to her other albums as well?

4

30

 

Both underperformances but 30 was huge for a while and had a smash hit. 4 didn’t have longevity either. Its streams are not good.

For GP: 30
For us fans: 4

4 era felt longer and still better than 30

Imagine believing that

OT: 30 is a big underperformance for Adele. 30 is still bigger than any Beyonce project over the past 12 years

I'm 25

4 just crossed 4 million units in the US, meanwhile 30 is 3x plat certified already and it’s just months old 

EOM was also way bigger than anything out of 4, the answer is clear but y’all just jumping on the Adele hate train

Bigger thanks to its frontloaded sales, Lemonade and Self-titled were cultural events while 30 is already forgotten and charting below Taylor's re-recordings 

By raw numbers 30 stomps, but kinda obvious cause run the world bombed at billboard hot 100 chart.

That's Adele's target demographic though 

30 is obviously bigger

Are you aware that 30 was released after two eras certified Diamond in pure sales, something beyonce never had.
