It really doesn't matter when she releases this album. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that it will sail across the 1 million mark in its opening week. Unless it has absolutely revolutionary singles the way 21 did, I don't know if crossing Diamond is doable, but I can't imagine this album selling anything short of anywhere between 4-5 million domestically. It'll undoubtedly eclipse 10+ million worldwide. Hype hasn't faded for her. She's been quiet, but she's always been one of the artists of the past couple of years that has had that large backing of anticipation for a new album. To believe that she will sell over 1 million in the opening wk is just plain asinine. Sure, she was popular when that album was out because it was quite stellar. I have to admit, with everything pretty much selling digitally now that I was quite shocked that it went Diamond. I see it opening wk selling between 500,000-750,000 and even that seems a stretch to me.

She's still not popular? You're completely asinine for believing that 500k-750k is a stretch. She will clear 1 million in the opening week. I'd be stunned to see her do anything less than 900k.

Adele is definitely a special case since she appeals to such a wide demographic. I feel like she has more hype than Lady Gaga did prior to Born This Way and her doing anything less than a million would shock me.

It'll depend on music. If the music is great she'll sell 1 million at least, if music sucks then she won't sell -simple.

I can see her doing well for her opening week & for the lead single, but I don't see her doing massive numbers y'all would like to believe.

The thing is, the next album could have a 70% sales decline from her previous album and it would still sell as much as 2013's best selling album. Essentially, Adele could bomb by her own standards and still outsell nearly everyone else.

Her hype is very special because 21 managed to appeal to a lot of people who normally don't buy music. That's a key reason why it sold the gargantuan amount that it did. But how many of those people who normally do not buy music that bought 21 will buy another album from Adele is a slightly different question.
She'll have huge opening and has a really good shot of beating Britney's opening record, but that's not a guarantee for a long domination in any way.

Lol these pressed posters thinking Adele can't or won't sell. Her last era was so huge and ended on such a high note that there's no way this won't sell amazingly right off the bat, regardless of the first single's quality.
If the album does suck, then it won't have legs, but her first week sales are pretty much a sure thing.

I stand by my decision that it will not sell close to 1 mil for opening week. I think this is going to be an album that will sell like 21, therefore, not have such a huge opening but sell steadily.

21 opened with 352k before "Rolling In The Deep" even entered the Top 50 at CHR/Pop. That's a fairly huge opening for someone who didn't even have a hit at that point. Anyone expecting this album not to have a huge opening is being completely delusional.

Firstly, calling someone an idiot for stating their thoughts on something will not make your case any stronger and second, you clearly are not familiar with the impact of hype if you think she's going to struggle to debut massively. I suggest you educate yourself on past eras for various artists where hype clearly dictated a monster debut even if by some chance the material wasn't as well received as the previous album.

I just can't... ANYONE who thinks Adele can't crack a million in her opening week with a hit first single is DELUSIONAL, IN DENIAL and living in a world where the sky is GREEN. Please come back to reality. Adele has the potential for huge, blockbuster numbers. But it all depends on the first single, her promo and the music of course.
If the first single stinks and flops, she'll still have a huge opening, but I don't see a debut cracking one million unless her promo is on point. But Lord forbid the first single be an absolute beast, if it is, watch out.

Pot calling the kettle black much? As Julian mentioned, educate yourself because you've made enough of a mess already. You can take your exit now.

Adele will open extremely strong. Everyone needs to realize she opened with 350k with 21 without rolling in the deep crossing over yet. Since then shes had three huge smashes and two moderate hits, while I expect a million, its possible she wont reach it, but theres no way she isn't selling 800k. If the first single is well received, just expect the numbers to increase.

Adele plans comeback at London's Albert Hall
The 25-year-old star has not performed a full-length concert since suffering vocal problems in 2011. Now she is considering returning to the stage for the release of her third album, due out in October, and sources say she sees London’s Royal Albert Hall as the perfect venue. The hush-hush show would be one of the hottest tickets in the capital as Oscar-winner Adele is one of the bestselling artists of all time. Executives at her record label hope she may follow this with concerts in New York and Los Angeles. “This is the most exciting and promising news fans have had from Adele for ages,” said a source close to the star. “She is considering a comeback gig to promote her new CD. “Her voice has been getting stronger over time and she has been working hard to rehabilitate it. A world tour is still a long way off, certainly a conventional series of shows. “Everything will be on her terms. The key to all these plans is that Adele feels comfortable with her voice. She has vowed that she never wants to break down during a tour or put her voice through so much stress that she suffers problems. Her doctors warned her that stress could also mean more surgery, and she is adamant that she never wants to go through that again.” Adele last performed a full 90-minute set in Glasgow on September 25, 2011. The source, based in Los Angeles, said: “The delicacies of the situation are apparent to everyone from Adele to her management. She is very settled with her family life and being a mum. A lengthy trip around the world with a baby on board could change that.” Adele’s spokesman was not available for comment. www.express.co.uk/news/showbiz/471414/Adele-plans-comeback-at-London-s-Albert-Hall

October? That's later than I was expecting. She'd be going head-to-head with Taylor most likely if this is the case.

Neat. That's you though. There's at least 1,000,000 other Americans who will by the album because it is Adele. Trust me. Regardless, who are we kidding? The first single is going to slay.

^I agree. She's also the type of artist who makes music that doesn't really go out of style. Even if the new album isn't as successful as "21", it will still sell well around the world.

That's such an insane amount of records sold. How many copies does 21 currently pull in a week? Could she get to 11 million within the year?

I'm sure the release of her new album will help her push past 11M.
