www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts-articles/chart-alert/adele-s-21-debuts-at-no-1-on-the-billboard-1005054242.storyAdele's '21' Debuts At No. 1 on the Billboard 200 With 352,000 Sales March 02, 2011 By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles Adele storms in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with her sophomore album "21" selling a mighty 352,000 copies in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's her best sales week -- and highest charting album -- and also the highest frame for any album since the sales week ending Nov. 28, 2010. That's when Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" started in the Nos. 1 and 2 slots, respectively, with 496,000 and 375,000. Notably, "21" also bows atop the Digital Albums chart with 217,000 downloads -- 62% of the set's overall first week. Again, it's the fattest week for a digital set since West's "My Beautiful" moved 224,000 downloads in its premiere. Adele, who took home the best new artist Grammy award in 2009, reached No. 10 with her debut set "19." It has spent a total of 71 weeks on the tally and has shifted 948,000 copies in the U.S. This week, it bounds 50-16 on the Billboard 200, giving the singer a pair of albums in the top 20. It's the first time an act has placed their first two releases concurrently in the top 20 since Justin Bieber did it on June 5, 2010 with "My World" and "My World 2.0." This week, "Rolling In the Deep" -- "21's" first single -- vaults 13-7 on the Digital Songs chart, moving 151,000 (up 26%). To date, since its release to retailers on Nov. 30 of last year, it has sold 621,000. Another "21" song, "Someone Like You," which she has been performing to great reaction on a number of TV shows lately, bows at No. 45 with 51,000. Adele memorably sung "Someone Like You" on the Brit Awards on Feb. 16 and in two weeks' time, its two clips with the most views on YouTube have racked up 3.3 million views. (To compare, Rihanna also performed on the Brits, singing a medley of songs from her "Loud" album and its most-viewed clips have tallied 1.3 million views.) Prior to the album's release, Adele stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (Feb. 24), "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (Feb. 24), CBS' "Early Show" (Feb. 25) and "Chelsea Lately" (Feb. 28). The official video for "Rolling In the Deep" has picked up over 16 million views on YouTube and Vevo. Adele's "21" is basically the only exciting news on the Billboard 200 chart this week, as the next-highest debut comes in at No. 29 from Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows and its "D.R.U.G.S." album (14,000). After two weeks of sales increases from the Feb. 13 Grammy Awards, the chart gets quiet this week, where only two non-debuting titles in the top 50 had an increase in sales. Falling one slot each to Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively, are Bieber's "Never Say Never: the Remixes" (102,000; down 38%), Mumford & Sons' "Sigh No More" (71,000; down 46%) and "Now 37" (58,000; down 38%). Bieber is also at No. 5 with "My World 2.0" (up three, 42,000; down 22%), marking the first time an act has had two sets in the top five since Bieber himself managed it on April 10, 2010. Bruno Mars' "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" (37,000; down 40%) and Eminem's "Recovery" (34,000; down 44%) both slip one rung to Nos. 6 and 7. Rihanna's "Loud" steps two spots to No. 8 (33,000; down 26%), Minaj's "Pink Friday" holds at No. 9 (32,000; down 30%) and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" drops six spaces to No. 10 (28,000; down 67%). Over on the Digital Songs chart, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" remains perched at No. 1 for a third week, selling 286,000 downloads (down 44%). It has sold 1.24 million in less than three full weeks. Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You)" holds at No. 2 (252,000; down 39%) while Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor" (featuring Pitbull) debuts at No. 3 (170,000). The song was held back from digital retailers for about a month following its release to YouTube and radio. That's unusual compared to some other recent releases by other pop divas, like Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, who commercially released their singles to digital retailers at about the same time they were serviced to radio and streaming sites. Right behind J.Lo is Katy Perry's "E.T.," rising eight slots to No. 4 (170,000; up 41%). Rihanna's "S&M" is up one to No. 5 (169,000; down 2%), Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor" falls three spots to No. 6 (156,000; down 45%) and Adele's "Rolling In the Deep," as previously mentioned, rises six to No. 7 (151,000; up 26%). P!nk's "F**kin' Perfect" holds at No. 8 (143,000; up 1%), Bruno Mars' "Grenade" falls four to No. 9 (140,000; down 22%) and Ke$ha's "Blow" bulldozes up 13 slots to No. 10 (129,000; up 52%). The latter rises due to the buzz generated by its buzzworthy unicorn-filled new video, which co-stars James Van Der Beek. Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Feb. 27) totaled 6.5 million units, down 10% compared to the sum last week (7.2 million) and up 8% compared to the comparable sales week of 2010 (6 million). Year to date album sales stand at 46.5 million, down 9% compared to the same total at this point last year (51 million). Digital track sales this past week totaled 26.5 million downloads, down 9% compared to last week (29 million) and up 11% stacked next to the comparable week of 2010 (23.8 million). Year to date track sales are at 215.2 million, up 6% compared to the same total at this point last year (202.4 million). Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2010 when: Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" returned to the No. 1 slot (126,000; up 6%) while Sade's "Soldier of Love" slipped one rung to No. 2 (79,000; down 37%).

Album sales up AGAIN compared to the same week last year? tear-to-date decline at less than 10%- probably won't last too long, though.
Digital copies reigned for Adele's album.

Very interesting information about digital sales for Adele. Contrary to what many could have believed, it seems her album didn't sell only to the "weird people" that still buy albums like those of Bublé or Boyle.

^Yes, but...
The #10 digital single sold 129k times $1.29 = $166,410.
The #10 album sold 28k x $10 = $280,000.
Labels still make more money off of albums.

I was referring to just digital albums, Adele's 21 in particular with a 62% digital total. It seems like they are replacing physical CDs quicker than I thought they would

new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/74336/week-ending-feb-27-2011-albums-all-about-adele/Week Ending Feb. 27, 2011: Albums: All About Adele Posted 9 minutes ago by Paul Grein in Chart Watch Adele's 21 sold 352,000 copies this week, the most that any album has moved in one week since November, when Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday sold 496K and 375K, respectively. After just one week, 21 is already the second best-selling album so far in 2011. It's just 40K behind the leader for the year-to-date, Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More. Adele's 2008 debut album, 19, rebounds from #50 to #16, giving Adele two albums in the top 20. 19 has sold 948,000 copies. Unlike Adele's new album, 19 was a sleeper hit. It took 31 weeks to sell as many copies as 21 did this week alone. Also, 19 took 36 weeks to crack the top 10, a feat it accomplished only after Adele won two Grammys. Adele, whose full name is Adele Adkins, was born in North London. She is 22 (21 refers to her age when she recorded the album). She has drawn comparisons to the great Dusty Springfield, but in terms of album sales, there's no comparison. Springfield's highest-charting album, Stay Awhile/I Only Want To Be With You, peaked at #62. (Some artists have an influence that far exceeds their sales.). Incidentally, this is the second #1 album titled 21. R&B star Omarion debuted at #1 in December 2006 with his 21. (He, too, was 22 at the time the album was released, but 21 when it was recorded.) Adele's 21 sold 217K digital copies this week (which is 62% of its total). This is the fifth highest one-week sales total in digital history. Only one album by a female solo artist has ever sold more digital copies in one week. Taylor Swift's Speak Now sold 278K digital copies in October. 21 has been #1 in the U.K. for the past five weeks. It's the first album to hit #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. since Susan Boyle's The Gift achieved the feat late last year. It's the first album by a female artist to log five or more weeks at #1 in the U.K. since Lady Gaga's The Fame, which had seven weeks on top in 2009-2010. Adele has the top two albums in the U.K. this week. 19 is back up to #2. The Official Charts Company, which monitors the U.K. Chart, notes that the last artist to have the top two albums in the U.K. the same week was the Irish sibling group the Corrs, which scored in April 1999 with Talk On Corners and Forgiven, Not Forgotten. 21 is on the short list of albums that are likely to be in the running for Album of the Year at the 54th annual Grammy Awards. Isn't it awfully early in the year to be looking ahead to next year's Grammys? Oh, probably, but that didn't stop me from posting this preview 2-1/2 weeks ago. If you missed it, here's a link. Justin Bieber has four albums in this week's top 30, which improves on his showing from last week, when he had four albums in the top 40. Never Say Never: The Remixes dips from #1 to #2. My World 2.0 jumps from #8 to #5. My Worlds Acoustic drops from #8 to #22. My World jumps from #31 to #24. The new EP is billed as a "music counterpart" to Bieber's 3D movie, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, but Nielsen SoundScan doesn't consider it a soundtrack. A new 3D-only "Director's Fan Cut" seems helped Bieber's movie gross another $9.4 million in its third weekend. The movie has brought in $63 million in just 17 days. It is fast closing in on the total box-office take of Michael Jackson's This Is It ($72,091,000) and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert Tour ($65,282,000) as the top-grossing music concert film to date. Two albums in this week's top 10, Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More and Rihanna's Loud top the 1 million mark in sales this week. Surprisingly, the albums also topped the 500K mark the same week (the week ending Dec. 19). But the albums took very different paths to those sales milestones. Loud sold 500K copies in its first five weeks. Sigh No More took 39 chart weeks to sell its first 500K copies. Sigh No More has sold 393,000 copies so far this year, more than any other album in 2011 (though Adele will doubtless pull ahead next week). So even though there has never been a week when Sigh No More was the best-selling album in the country, it has sold more copies overall than any other album so far this year. Loud is Rihanna's fourth album in a row to sell 1 million copies. Her top-seller is 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad, which has sold 2,666,000 copies (plus 54K for an album of remixes). Eminem's Recovery logs its 27th week in the top 10. That's the longest run in the top 10 for a rap album since 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' had 27 weeks in the top 10 in 2003. (The Black Eyed Peas' 2005 album Monkey Business logged 28 weeks in the top 10. The Grammys classified it as rap at the time, but it seems closer to pop.) Shameless Plug: Eminem's Recovery this week surpasses Lady Gaga's The Fame as the best-selling album in digital history. On Friday, I'll have a Chart Watch Extra in which I count down the top 10 album sellers in digital history. I'll also list 10 other albums that hold various digital records. Check it out on Friday and boost your Digital IQ. Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You) sold 252K copies this week, just 34K fewer than Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." And JLo isn't far behind with "On The Floor" (featuring Pitbull), which sold 170K copies. Where will these three songs land on this week's Hot 100? Check back later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs. Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums. 1. Adele, 21, 352,000. This new entry is Adele's first #1 album; her second in a row to make the top 10. Five songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Rolling In The Deep," which jumps from #13 to #7. 2. Justin Bieber, Never Say Never: The Remixes, 102,000. The former #1 album dips to #2 in its second week. Four songs from the EP are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Never Say Never" (featuring Jaden Smith), which drops from #4 to #11. 3. Mumford & Sons, Sigh No More, 71,000. The album dips from #2 to #3 in its 49th week. This is its eighth week in the top 10. Two songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. "The Cave" drops from #11 to #43. "Little Lion Man" drops from #36 to #57. 4. Various Artists, Now 37, 58,000. The former #1 album dips from #3 to #4 in its third week. The album has sold a respectable 304K copies in three weeks. 5. Justin Bieber, My World 2.0, 42,000. The former #1 album jumps from #8 to #5 in its 49th week. This is its 30th week in the top 10. Five songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Baby" (featuring Ludacris), which drops from #43 to #56. 6. Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, 37,000. The album dips from #5 to #6 in its 21st week. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Three songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Grenade," which drops from #5 to #9. 7. Eminem, Recovery, 34,000. The former #1 album dips from #6 to #7 in its 36th week. This is its 27th week in the top 10. Three songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Love The Way You Lie" (featuring Rihanna), which drops from #38 to #58. 8. Rihanna, Loud, 33,000. The album jumps from #10 to #8 in its 15th week. This is its 12th week in the top 10. Three songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "S&M," which jumps from #6 to #5. 9. Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday, 32,000. The former #1 album holds at #9 in its 14th week. It has been in the top 10 the entire time. Two songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. "Moment 4 Life" (featuring Drake) jumps from #35 to #29. "Roman's Revenge" (featuring Eminem) drops from #164 to #173. 10. Lady Antebellum, Need You Now, 28,000. The former #1 album drops from #4 to #10 in its 57th week. This is its 29th week in the top 10. Two songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. "Need You Now" drops from #14 to #52. "Hello World" drops from #149 to #169. One album drops out of the top 10 this week. 2011 Grammy Nominees drops from #7 to #15. The album has sold 170K copies in five weeks, a tiny sliver of the 26.7 million who tuned in to the TV show. America, you can do better than that. Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows' debut album, D.R.U.G.S., bows at #29. The "post-hardcore" band features former members of Chiodos, Story of the Year and From First To Last. Glee, The Music: Season Two, Volume 4 jumps from #39 to #38 on The Billboard 200. It's the #1 soundtrack for the fourth week. It has sold 347,000 copies to date. Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy jumps from #114 to #96 on the big chart. It's the top soundtrack to a theatrically-released film for the sixth week. It has sold 522,000 copies to date. Jeff Beck's Rock'n'Roll Party bows at #54. Beck first charted in December 1965, when he was a member of the Yardbirds. Beck's new album honors fellow guitar great Les Paul, who, with his wife and musical partner Mary Ford, first made Billboard's pop album chart in 1951. Paul died in 2009 at age 94. The Social Network soundtrack reenters The Billboard 200 at #125 in the immediate wake of the Academy Awards, where it won for Best Original Score. The album by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross peaked at #20 in October. Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) is just the fourth rock star to win an Oscar for a score. He follows the Beatles (Let It Be won as Best Original Song Score of 1970), Prince (Purple Rain won as Best Original Song Score of 1984), and David Byrne (The Last Emperor won as Best Original Score of 1987). Byrne, of the Talking Heads, wrote the latter score with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Cong Su. Hall Pass was #1 at the box-office over the weekend, edging out Gnomeo & Juliet. The latter movie features both new and old Elton John songs. The soundtrack has sold just 5K copies in three weeks, not enough to make The Billboard 200 in any of those weeks. The Power Of Cher: Burlesque was seen as a bomb, so its soundtrack must have really flopped, right? You may be surprised to learn that the soundtrack to the Christina Aguilera/Cher musical has sold 302K copies, which is more than such "hit" soundtracks as Glee: The Power Of Madonna (290K), Country Strong (172K) and the aforementioned The Social Network (98K). Perception and reality aren't always in sync. Coming Attractions: Marsha Ambrosius' Late Nights, Early Mornings is expected to make a potent debut next week. Ambrosius is a former member of Floetry. Also due: Carole King and James Taylor's Troubadours: The Rise Of The Singer-Songwriter, Lucinda Williams' Blessed, Harry Connick Jr.'s In Concert On Broadway, Beady Eye's Different Gear and Dropkick Murphys' Going Out In Style.

^Yes, but... The #10 digital single sold 129k times $1.29 = $166,410. The #10 album sold 28k x $10 = $280,000. Labels still make more money off of albums. Remember that the costs of manufacture and distribution of a physical album are much more than for digital music. And while digital is taking a larger proportion of album sales (Adele's digital sales being 62% of the total being a prime example), physical sales, for the moment, are still the majority of album sales. For manufacture and distribution you can figure costs of at least $1.50 per unit. So albums are more profitable than singles, but the fact that singles are almost solely distributed digitally lessens some of the difference.

Perhaps the fall has finally plateaued. Most people would much rather pay 6-8 bucks for a download than 15 bucks for a CD.

"Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy has sold 522,000 copies to date." Really? Guess it's correct but seems really high to me. I guess they made a mistake there. I think it's actually the other way around: Glee, The Music: Season Two, Volume 4 jumps from #39 to #38 on The Billboard 200 It's the #1 soundtrack for the fourth week. It has sold 347,000 copies to date. Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy jumps from #114 to #96 on the big chart. It's the top soundtrack to a theatrically-released film for the sixth week. It has sold 522,000 copies to date..

Yes- and the Madge one was the only Glee release dedicated to one act. There also was The Rocky Horror Picture Show release, dedicated to one entity.

It is supposed to be an achievement that a soundtrack to a musical fronted by an actual recoding act outsold the Soundtrack to a drama about a website?

Hmm, it's eASY to switch to digital download when 1)Price on Cd is higher at BestBuy/Walmart and 2)When the stores dont carry new releases (ie: went to walmart NO Adele or any new cds for past 2 weeks).

Album sales up AGAIN compared to the same week last year? tear-to-date decline at less than 10%- probably won't last too long, though. Digital copies reigned for Adele's album. Well, we have Britney releasing at the end of this month, so it may. Not sure who is releasing in April though.

Taylor scores her second 5x Platinum album. Not bad for an artist that arrived during the digital era!
