As projected last week, Adele has accomplished anĀ enormousĀ feat with her ’21′ album. Astonishingly, in a time when massive record sales were considered a distant memory, the British Soul singer’s sophomore LP has topped the 9 million sales mark in the US.
Adele is currently the most celebrated artist in recorded music but is she really interested in fame? Shockingly, despite her massive success, the British Soul singer made it clear on ‘The Today Show’ that public recognition was never on her agenda.
Get ready to celebrate another milestone in Adele’s career because her ’21′ album has reached the border of a major accomplishment. The record has sold accumulated total US sales of 8.99 million copies and will surpass the 9 million sales mark next week!
Michael Jackson has finally met his match in the form of a very unexpected source. Stunning music fans across the Atlantic, the King of Pop’s blockbuster ‘Thriller’ album, which is one of the best-selling albums in the world, has been outsold in the UK by Adele’s ’21′.
Nicki Minaj said that starships were meant to fly but her ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ album has crashed and burned. In fact, the record has plummeted on the Billboard 200 and will soon exit the top 10 of the chart.
Nicki Minaj’s attention-seeking antics on Twitter have done nothing to boost her dismal album sales. In fact, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ LP has continued its decline on the Billboard 200 and is even being outsold by Adele’s ’21′, which has been in the top 10 for 61 weeks.
Adele ’21′ continues on the fast track to become the first album since 2004 to achieve diamond status. In fact, the LP has surpassed yet another major marker in the US as it has officially been certified 9x platinum by the RIAA for shipments exceeding 9 million units.
Did you know that Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ is the first song by a female artist to sell over 7 million downloads in the US?
It looks like Nicki Minaj’s chances of matching the success of her ‘Pink Friday’ debut album with ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ have dropped drastically. Indeed, along with the probability of the latter record being having such a major impact, the sales of LP have also took a tumble.
64 weeks after being released in the UK and Adele’s ’21′ album is still selling big numbers. In fact, the record’s impact is still so strong that it has returned to the top of the UK Albums Chart for a record-breaking frame.
