Adele [Photo: china.org.cn] Adele's new album '25' is set to break NSYNC's longstanding record by selling 2.5 million copies in its first week. With more than 900,000 copies sold through iTunes on its first day alone, the album is on track to break NSYNC's record of 2.42 million first-week sales, according to Billboard. The boy band currently holds the record for the largest sales week since Nielsen Music began tracking point-of-sale music purchases in 1991, with over 2.4 million copies of their album 'No Strings Attached' sold in 2000. It is also the only album to move more than 2 million copies in the U.S. in a single week. Adele's third studio album, '25', was released on November 20th. Prior to its release, '25' was expected to move 1.5 million physical copies in the first week, with an additional 1 million digital sales, which allowing it to surpass Taylor Swift's 2014 release '1989' as the best-selling album of 2015. |
