Adele shatters N Sync’s one-week sales record with ’25’

Published

November 24, 2015

As indicated by Billboard Magazine, Adele’s 25 album has sold at least 2.43 million copies in a little over three days, thus breaking N Sync’s record which was set for their No Strings Attached album in 2000 — it had sold 2.41 million copies in its first week. 25 was released on November 20 through XL Recordings/Columbia Records.

Her album, which is not available on streaming services, garnered a rave review from Digital Journal, and rightfully so, as did her live concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

In addition, her critically-acclaimed lead single, “Hello,” sold over one million units in its first week, and it debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
