It's really funny, you know you succeeded when people are making memes and videos about you five minutes later. This is crashing the competence. And for once, the video is great (well, something expected when you have Xavier Dolan as director)

Who called the police? I hope i dont get in trouble for saying this mild but yet scathing assessment of Adele. While this song is very powerful and I love her singles overall she really needs to add different elements and versatility to her albums. That's true, but not for a first single after an smash album. When you come back (specially if you wait as much as she waited) you need to come back with a great song that it's not totally apart from your previous song. Doing something very different is simply too risky, and you better let that for second or even better, third single, when everything is doing just fine and there's no risk to derail the whole era. Doing a total departure of your previous sound generally doesn't work well, at least at first, and in these times when people have such little patient, it's better not to risk that much

That 325k number is not believable at all, she sold somewhere around 170-180k. That's a huge number still, and I think she has a chance to break the record even with the detracted album pre-orders. It needs to sell over 636k, that can totally happen.

This got a lot of spins in big markets, the audience is very big for its position.

Absolutely love this song and the video. Amazing. I'm hooked after one listen.
With that said, it's crazy to me how pretty much every comment in this thread can't just talk about how great this song is without bringing up how Adele is "snatching things away from other artists" or "showing Taylor, and Katy and Niki how it's done." It's silly to me, but I guess that's the way things are now. It sounds so ridiculously stupid, but I am just old now and must not get it

So they make a distinction between who downloads the song on its own and who prefers the album. It was unclear to me.

Roar, which went to iTunes on a Monday, was still seeing dark green updates until about noon on Wednesday. So this is definitely headed for the 500+ range. I wonder if this can get to 100M before the rolling effect?

I think a few posters said the rule changed recently.

I think a few posters said the rule changed recently. I wasn't aware of that being an official change. In fact, One Direction's Infinity seems to contradict that. It debuted with something like 70K sales, but it would have been well into the six-figures with pre-order instant grat downloads included.

I heard it 3 times in the car yesterday in the span of under an hour (across 2 stations). I hope that domination continues! (it will)

It needs to sell over 636k, that can totally happen. Actually the 325k may not be so wrong. That site probably has no way of distinguishing between instant grat purchases and single only purchases is all. 325k combined would make a lot of sense. Also means her pre-order numbers are on their way to amazing already.

Just be grateful this isn't like a Youtube comment section. The thread is littered with comments like I mentioned. I understand, I am in the minority, so most people are fine with it and like it. I am just saying from an outsider's perspective it sounds very juvenile. I am obviously not up to date with the internet culture and I get that. Someone at work asked me if I heard the new Adele song and i answered it like I wrote about it here. Being amazing and flawless. It makes me laugh if I would have answered the co-worker with a line like, "Yes I have heard it. She's coming over to snatch the crown and weaves from your favs and show them how it's done."
