Adele's Long-awaited New Album “30” Conquers America
The singer’s new album Adele , 23 , has already proven to be a success on both sides of the Atlantic. So much so, that the British diva has been at the top of the US sales list for three days in a row with her new job, which has also already broken the significant barrier of 500, 000 copies sold during their first week on the market.
The earthquake that has generated 30 has removed from the leadership the always acclaimed Taylor Swift , who has returned to the scene with a remake of their hit album Red (originally released on 2012), which already accumulates 396, 000 units sold since its launch last 12 of November. What’s more, Adele has broken a record held by the Nashville diva until now: half a million copies of 30 distributed in its first week far exceeds the 462, 000 units sold Taylor last year with the release of the album Evermore .
Thus, it is almost certain that Adele’s successful album will become the new number one of Billboard as soon as the magazine updates its records, taking into account that the count of reproductions by streaming adds to the general figure the equivalent of 60, 000 Additional copies: 575, 000 copies in total.
