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." HAHAHA!! Do it! Please! I will too. (I already have...)

The current stance is that they don't count the pre-order instant grat sales anymore. I believe it was said it counts until you complete the album on release day. I think a few posters said the rule changed recently. No, they don't count anymore. They changed after "Shake It Off", they don't count the pre-order copies. The release day detraction was the old rule. Songs won't have minus sales and whatnot.

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6738449/radio-on-adele-hello-she-can-make-you-feel-what-she-feelsRadio on Adele's 'Hello': 'She Can Make You Feel What She Feels'By Gary Trust | October 24, 2015 In its first day, 'Hello' was the fourth-most-heard song on U.S. radio. Adele's new single "Hello" arrived at radio at 2:30 a.m. eastern on Friday, Oct. 23. By morning-drive, it was already blasting to listeners nationwide. The superstar also checked in (by phone from England) with multiple interviews, including Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, syndicated from its home base at WHTZ (Z100) New York. "I was so frightened that no one cared," Adele told Duran. Her fears were entirely unfounded. In its first day of play, radio gave Adele's new music an incredibly enthusiastic hello. Co-written by Adele and Greg Kurstin, and produced by the latter (who also plays bass, guitar, piano and keyboards, with Adele even credited as a drummer), the ballad and first single from her third Columbia Records studio album, 25, due Nov. 20, immediately went into radio rotation. (Among other hits, Kurstin co-wrote Kelly Clarkson's three-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" and P!nk's No. 5-peaking "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," both hits in 2012.) According to Nielsen Music, "Hello" drew 1,736 plays Friday, translating to 17.5 million in all-format U.S. audience, making it the fourth-most-heard song on radio. (Many iHeartMedia-owned stations at the pop, adult pop and adult contemporary formats played the song hourly for most of the day.)
While the airplay speaks for itself, radio's decision-makers still have plenty to say about the initial preview of Adele's first album since 2011's 21, which has sold 11.2 million copies in the U.S., making it the 10th best-selling set since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991. (In 2012, Adele reached No. 8 on the Hot 100 with her James Bond soundtrack single "Skyfall.")

Kworb is predicting sales of over 1M for Hello first week. Will go down obviously, but I've never seen a prediction so high in the digital age.

Flo Rida still owns the record with 438K in a week I believe, just saying. I do not think Adele will be able to break that record.

I believe it was said it counts until you complete the album on release day. 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. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was said when you complete the cd it comes off then. Maybe I'm confused? There's been so many questions about it that it's getting confusing. LoL

How the hell am I trolling? I was just stating something. You being in this thread is trolling. You've expressed your opinion, and then again, and then again, and then bitched about this blocking "Hotline Bling" from #1, and then pulled some Flo Rida statistic out of the woods to try and devalue what this song is doing in order to benefit your own opinion, and then bitched about it when people bitched you out. Sit this one out for a bit, girl. They say time can heal ya.

For me "Hello" sounds very calculated song and feels almost sterile. It was made for the market, it will make tons of money, but even in video Adele looks and sounds cold. She is the star and you can definitely tell. The music can tell and for me it's step back from more organic and careless sound of her last album.

What strikes me about this song, which I love btw, is just how simple it is. And maybe that's why you feel it's a step back. It's one of the simplest songs she's ever done, IMO. The lyrics are simple. There's no overarching metaphor, no flowery language. Just simple phrases you might find in someone's journal or diary (this isn't meant in a disparaging way). Musically, she uses a fairly popular chord progression on the chorus, the ubiquitous vi-IV-I-V progressions you've heard in a lot of other songs like "Love the Way you Lie," "Stronger," and "Poker Face" to name a few. It's simple, but very powerful.

She actually has two shots at this record. One this week, which I think she'll do, and then this also might be the Xmas #1. It really isn't that far away now, and think of all those gift card sales. Plus the airplay will be around 250M by then for sure.

Can see this doing 800k+ first week sales in the US. Its lead is absoulutely massive still and it was up against a new Justin Beiber release (which would've sold very well first week).
Slaying everything. I cannot wait to see her album sales this Christmas. Wouldn't be surprised if 25 did 3-5 million+ first week worldwide with 1.5 million in the US and 500k+ in the UK alone.
Adele, saviour of the music industry. :'(

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was said when you complete the cd it comes off then. Maybe I'm confused? There's been so many questions about it that it's getting confusing. LoL It's probably worthless to keep discussing this because Billboard/Nielsen aren't typically transparent. They're almost certainly just going to give us a first week sales total - rather than one broken out by people who only purchased the single vs. people who pre-ordered the album. But the way it's supposed to work is: -- If you buy the single alone, it counts as a single sale. -- If you pre-order the album and then get the single as an instant grat, it does not count as a single sale (but the pre-order will be "banked" as an album sale and count toward the album's first week sales total) -- If you buy the single alone, and then hit "complete my album" to purchase the full album in a later week, the single sale will count this week but then be deducted in conjunction with the album purchase. (I'm less clear about WHEN this takes effect. As I noted, The Weeknd's singles suffered a big "complete my album" deduction the week BEFORE the album came out, but Taylor Swift's singles and more recently Selena Gomez' singles seemed to take the hit the week the album actually came out)

RECORD-SETTING RECORD? While not yet confirmed, it appears XL/Columbia's Adele has broken first-day digital sales records with over 400k for single "Hello" sold across all platforms. Meanwhile, digital preorders for album 25 (due out 11/20) surpassed 100k. Streaming numbers also appear to be through the roof with some speculating she could hit well over the 2m mark in the first day. ( HDD)

Only Adele could do something like this in the declining digital market. :'(

This has reportedly sold about 2/3 of that in day one. The record is going to be broken. She only needs to sell 40k per day at this point to break it.

Honey, the latter part only come from very few people, and it's part of pulse joke. 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." But that's pulsemusic essence, i read a lot of times that Sam Smith's career is over now that Adele is back (well i heard it months before she was really back) which is an utter nonsense, and of course it seems you are not really a fan of a diva if you not dismiss all the other pop divas merits. The truth is Adele is not even competence for other pop divas. She had a very successful first era without a single hit on pop radio, and she has a very wide and diverse audience with fans of all ages

Why has walker9 not been banned yet?
Anywho, according to kworb, Adele is declining right now in iTunes, but "Sorry" is .2399 and outside the top 4, WDYM? is at .0574. Truly amazing how big it's gone in 36 hours, isn't it? Have we had a song at #4 or #5 on iTunes be below .1 below? I don't recall any recent ones tbh...
