There is no reliable adjustment formula. that figure came from Billboard since it's their adjustment formula they've been using it for a while now Another way to compare today's apples to yesterday's oranges is by adjusting for inflation. Everything from food prices to movie revenues are regularly adjusted for shifting currency values -- for example, $100 in 1980 would go as far as $290 would today. The difference, of course, is that music sales have fallen, not risen, since 2000. Adjusting for that contraction, Adele's projected first-week sales would be equivalent to her selling 7.59 million units in 2000. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6776984/adele-25-42-percent-record-sales-7-5-million-200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different artists have different demographics who are more or less prone to still buying albums. Theres no one size fits all formula. Billboard just wanted to make a fancy graph.
