dussel_06 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Adele’s 25 - Everyone was expecting it to do break the record but 3M+ is beyond imaginable. Adele’s 30 - Everyone was expecting it to do 1million at least only for it to sell less than folklore. Taylor’s Midnights - We thought 1M debut is already impossible since Adele cannot get it. But Taylor proved she has surpassed everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naval23 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Adele breaking the pure sales record in over 15 years with 25 will never be eclipsed. 3.3M in its first week... 8M in the span of 2 months... in the USA alone It was just insane record after record with "Hello" smashing too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re correct Hon. Don’t pay attention to the troll beneath. If the Samsung sales were still included, “ANTI” would currently be 7x platinum with almost 7M units sold and it isn’t. It’s currently at 6x platinum with close to 6M units sold in the U.S instead on the basis on SPS. I believe the Samsung sales were removed because they no longer count in ANTI’s total. Spoiler @istan4badgalriri and @lonnie can offer more insight. 14 minutes ago, Vrx. said: As of June of this year it is indeed only 6x platinum, with the first million coming from the Samsung deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Rihanna magically sold 985k copies via SPS 2 days after it was released. And 5m = 5x plat, not 6x plat*. Again, fraudulent. Edited June 23, 2023 by Vrx.

iconiclegend Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) This album in 2010 debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 502,000 copies in the US...

KatyPrismSpirit Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Future Nostalgia still baffles me to be honest. She had a massive hit in the US on her hands and promoted it heavily. It was announced like 4 months before it came out as well but only did 66k. It also had bundles and physical copies ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 'Midnights' & '25' definitely. Also for a re-recording like 'RED (TV)' to pull a 600k+ debut was also pretty shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
