In my opinion the green updates are more surprising than the increase in the gap. Sorry is a new song, so it's going to suffer a decrease in the rate of sales for sure, the fact that Hello is keeping the momentum for so long is what's surprising Exactly - it's not like the songs below are gaining traction - I expected Sorry to have normal decline - what I didn't expect as that songs below - established hits wouldn't start to have regular gains (like we always see after a 'big' song is released). This type of sustained domination is unprecedented.

The only one who can stop Adele now is Adele and single #2.

I wonder what this will sell come Xmas/New Year's week, or if the second single will already be dominating by then? Would be crazy if single 2 breaks this song's sales record over that week.

To echo what a few people have said, the green updates are unbelievable. "Hello" has been gaining ground on "Hotline Bling," not just Bieber's new single. To think that, with the way digital single sales have plummeted this year, that Adele may come close to DOUBLING the previous all-time one-week record...is...idk. I'm running out of amazing things to say about this era's performance and it's only day 5.

And the album will already be out by then so it's possible that other songs from the album could start selling strongly too and she could have multiple chart entries on the Hot 100. It's going to be a truly exciting to watch how this era plays out.

There wasn't this many people on Adele's threads for her last album and singles from "21".

Meaning that clearly this thread is seeing the added cumulative effect from that era - that so many more are checking for her. :) Not to mention this song is still in "event mode", so to speak, with its record-defining impact...

Before this week, I thought nothing would ever come close to the insane hype and initial success as Born This Way, but this is blowing that song out of the water. Like this feels like the biggest thing I've witnessed in my adult years. I was too young to really know the impact when Like a Prayer or Thriller or I Just Can't Stop Loving You came out. And one could say Candle in the Wind over and over. But that was because of a death, not because people were checking for Elton John, lol. So it's a bit different in that regards.
One could also say My Heart Will Go On, but again, that was because of a movie, not because people were checking for Celine Dion.
Having said all this, the biggest song other than Hello to make such a WW splash was probably I Will Always Love You, now that I think about it.

And that makes a little surprising that the reaction on pop radio is not on that level. She is getting great updates, but Sorry is getting better ones, and Bieber is far from being that big name at pop radio (he only had one shorlived number one after all)

6 million away from becoming Vevo certified. Considering it gained 4 million in just under 6 hours, it should reach 100 million around 2 AM tomorrow. Considering the MV came out just before midnight Friday (if my sources are correct) and assuming my prediction will be correct, it will take "Hello" just 122 hours to hit 100 million views, making her MV the quickest to reach 100M via Vevo and the 2nd quickest YT video to 100M (Gentlemen did it in 3 days). From a statistics standpoint (again, assuming an accurate prediction), "Hello" averaged 819,672 views an hour, which translates to 13,661 views a minute and 228 views a second. Pretty crazy and amazing, huh?

Having said all this, the biggest song other than Hello to make such a WW splash was probably I Will Always Love You, now that I think about it. It's interesting you mention 'Thriller,' because on release it was not what you would've thought. The reason: The horrible lead single TGIM. It was so wimpy and sugary, it was a huge disappointment to those of us expecting OTW2. (Moreover, the Jacksons with Michael in lead had released 'Triumph' the year earlier and it was far from big with LO and HH as singles that only had minimal impact. Thriller didn't truly launch until Billie Jean hit MTV and then Beat It. One wonders what the era would've been like had "Billie Jean" been right out of the box. Obviously it worked out. And, I'd put MHWGO and IWALY as relevant markers for "Hello." Let's see if it has that kind of holding power and radio domination. (I think it will.) Anyone placing bets that Lionel Richie is going to have a 'surprise' appearance on SNL with ADELE?

Remember back when we thought "Born This Way", "Shake It Off", and "Roar" were huge with their 500k sales? Now we will likely have over a million sales in a song's first week. Who else but Queen Adele?!?

Second most added with 132 adds this week.
As a side note, it was the most added on the Hot AC, AC and Triple A formats with 84, 36 and 23 adds, respectively, and the second most added on the Rhythmic format with 17 adds.

US radio is shading Adele big time lol f**k them They shaded RITD too until it was glaringly obvious the public spoke, and only THEN did they start increasing spins. But RITD was not a runaway smash hit by any means. The same will happen here.

She already has a higher total audience then him. They have to throw him a bone considering the carnage that Scooter Braun is currently facing with Hurricane Adele.

Technically they don't , but this could even still come down to just the fact that "Sorry" went to radio a full day earlier.

^^Wonder how bad the other songs you've heard have been I guess your comment was a response to my post…if so I don't know what you were trying to say. Let me rephrase what I meant to say….…"Hello"is just the best song I've heard in a long time.

One could also say My Heart Will Go On, but again, that was because of a movie, not because people were checking for Celine Dion. Lol. "My Heart Will Go On" directly followed an album that sold over 30 million copies and spawned several huge hits. People were definitely checking for Celine in 97/98, which explains why "Let's Talk About Love" sold as much as it did despite not having one solid hit (other than "MHWGO"). If people weren't "checking" for her the soundtrack would've monopolized sales of her album too.

Andddd it's being released on Black Friday Week and will likely be the gift of choice for stocking stuffers, casual friends, and coworkers during the holidays. This is gonna be insane... Black Friday counts towards its second week on the chart, not the first. Which should help to soften the second week decrease. Maybe 2 weeks over 1 million+ sales? I mean anything is possible with Adele! Also, I just realised that she won't be able to sweep the grammys until 2017. The album is going to sell bucket loads I can just tell. I predict 20 million+ when all is said and done, not far off the sales of 21. Black Friday week will be big, but it's also important to remember the Black Friday rush starts on Thursday now. Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy...all the big retailers open Thursday late afternoon/early evening. The last few years I've gone shopping at 9am on black friday and there's hardly anyone because everyone was out the night before. This should help boost her first week, and likely make any predictions made during the week really broad. I wonder if Target will do an ad on TV like they do with other big releases. Recent ones that come to mind are Taylor Swift and Coldplay.

Looking at the Vevo page now, the video is at 99,160,298 views, so she is 839,702 views away from breaking the record? Earlier today it was around 93 mil, so it may be safe to say it has already been broken?

Well, my prediction's gonna be off by 3 to 3.5 hours, but still, I'm very impressed. This will crack 100M sometime in the next hour. Edit: According to kworb, its iTunes lead is now 1 to .1960. Translation? It's selling 5.1 times more than "Sorry," #2 currently selling.
