ADELE'S '21' SALES SKY ROCKET POST GRAMMYS
Adele's 21 is set to have another big week on the Billboard Charts with sales now projected to hit the 650,000 to 680,000 range. We're coming up on the one year anniversary on the chart where it hasn't budged from the top 10 since. Coincidentally it will also be its 21st week at #1!
Billboard reports, "Presently, the set is now projected to sell somewhere in the range of 650,000 to 680,000 by week's end on Sunday, Feb. 19, according to industry sources. That's up from the half-million-plus forecast that Billboard reported on Thursday morning (Feb. 16)."
"Next week, "21" will mark its one-year anniversary on the chart -- a list where it's never left the top 10 in a single week. It will also notch its 21st week at No. 1 and surpass the 7 million U.S. sales threshold. Currently, its sales stand at 6.62 million."
"Finally, if "21" sells more than 650,000 this week, it will be the best week for any album since Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" debuted with 964,000 at No. 1 on the chart dated Sept. 17, 2011. It will also be "21's" biggest sales week, period. Its highest frame came over the Christmas holiday, when it shifted 399,000."
Adele is set to hit the stage at the BRIT Awards tonight! If you're in the UK, be sure to tune in to ITV1 at 8pm!
