That's already a moot point; it debuted at #33 on this past week's chart (whose week ended Sunday). Oh okay. And to answer your other question, "Born This Way" debuted at #19. It also didn't have a full week like "Hello."

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, and her music, leading a one-woman crusade to inject some much-needed life into the recorded-music industry.

It was #6 after seven days (?) but the 8th day hurt it so by the next Sunday it was still only #6 - still the highest spin total and position total in 7 days/2nd week respectively of any song on pop radio since I started following it in 1994. I'm anxious to see how Hello will do but it seems that pop radio isn't as flexible as streaming and sales are to its obvious domination.

I'm anxious to see how Hello will do but it seems that pop radio isn't as flexible as streaming and sales are to its obvious domination. Yup. #6 was its seven day peak and it stayed there for the Sunday update due to its 8th day. I didn't think this would beat that simply because I knew no matter what Adele put out, "Born This Way" would fit better for pop radio. I think that's a big part of why this slowed after its first day and allowed "Sorry" to pass it. "Sorry" is just immediate for pop radio. "Hello" definitely does not fit into pop playlists as easily. Today's update, though (bigger than "Sorry"'s!), shows that the intensely strong reaction to the song is helping clear the way for it onto pop playlists.

The song is so good. It clicked with me, forgive me for my previous shade.
Yes, the lyrics are a bit ham-fisted in the verses. She hasn't really evolved that much. But that chorus, my God. She absolutely nailed it, it has an incredible melody, one of those that feel like they've always existed because it's so precise and perfect. I MUST HAVE CALLED A THOUSAND TIIIIIMEEEESS, banal on the surface but her vocal turns it into a proclamation of lovelorn angst that will resonate the world over; the way only pop music can create Earth-shaking moments out of the simplest sentiments will never cease to amaze me. She's giving me Celine/Creed power ballad plus hipster credibility (Xavier Dolan, savvy!), and my spidey sense tells me that's the recipe for another 20m+ seller. I welcome our new Lord of Pop with arms wide open.

The total US streams from Spotify alone is around 12 million now, should be around 15 million with tomorrow's Spotify streams.
With some additions from other on-demand streaming services, we might be looking for 18-20 million on-demand streams from US alone. Huge!

Stayed up all night watching Adele interviews. She is hilarious.
Hello has been so much fun to watch, and that last chorus is perfection. I like that it wasn't another RITD, it keeps with Adeles brand to not be desperate and thirsty by pulling out the stops and simply let the vocals and lyrics speak for themselves.

People talk about the emotion and her voice, but the truth is the melody of the chorus is incredibly catchy. I think i heard the song only a couple of times but that chorus stuck in my mind forever
I week later the dictatorial domination continues on itunes, and right now there's no song reducing the gap

This reminds me of Whitney Houston's IWALY. The billboard hot 100 methodology had just changed and was allowing for some huge leaps on the chart and longevity at the top of the charts, not seen for decades before. It's a different world now, but it's the closest chart event that I can think of that is comparable, in my mind. By the time OSD hit, I felt like I had already seen it with IWALY. Of course we'll just have to see about the scope of the longevity at no. 1. for Adele. In that respect, it wouldn't be a bad thing to slow down the sales and spread out over time a bit...amazing, though. Great times for chart freaks!

Speaking of longevity, do we think that "Hello" can outsell RITD? Which is the 2nd-biggest digital song, btw

Adele Headed for No. 1 Hot 100 Debut & Sales Record; Justin Bieber Set for Top 10 Start
Adele's 'Hello' looks likely to launch at the summit, while Bieber's 'Sorry' should bow in the top 10.Adele appears set to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single, "Hello," which also should smash the record for the most downloads ever sold in a week. Adele's '25' Is a Lock to Sell 1 Million in Its First Week - How About 2? Meanwhile, Justin Bieber should score a top 10 Hot 100 launch with his latest single, "Sorry." Highlights of the next Hot 100, dated Nov. 14, will be revealed on Billboard.com on Monday, Nov. 2, with the entire chart posting the following day. (See the current, Nov. 7-dated Hot 100, in full, here.) Industry forecasters suggest that "Hello," released Friday, Oct. 23, could sell 900,000 downloads in the week ending Oct. 29. Such a sum would shatter the mark for most downloads sold in a week: Flo Rida's "Right Round" moved 636,000 (Feb. 28, 2009, according to Nielsen Music). Adele's Comeback Song 'Hello' Has Arrived Radio on Adele's 'Hello': 'She Can Make You Feel What She Feels' On the Hot 100, the pending record-breaking sales start for "Hello" will combine with expected lofty streaming and airplay data (its video also premiered Oct. 23, and the song went to radio the same day). The stark piano ballad is the lead single from Adele's Nov. 20 album 25, her first LP since 2011's 21, which has sold 11.2 million copies in the United States. 21 yielded Adele's first three Hot 100 No. 1s: "Rolling in the Deep" (the year-end No. 1 of 2011), "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain." Meanwhile, Bieber will add more momentum leading up to his Nov. 13 album Purpose, as second single "Sorry" should arrive with around 350,000 downloads sold, according to industry forecasts. Its final sales figure will combine with airplay and streaming totals (the song currently sports an official "dance video") for its likely top 10 debut on the Nov. 14 Hot 100. Justin Bieber Unveils 'Purpose' Track List on Twitter Lead Purpose single "What Do You Mean?" flew onto the Sept. 19 Hot 100, becoming his first No. 1, fueled by 337,000 first-week downloads sold. (It's ranked in the top three for its first eight weeks.) To find out if Adele officially rules the Hot 100 upon its debut -- and if Bieber adds another top 10 -- check Billboard.com Monday (Nov. 2). www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6745954/adele-headed-no-1-hot-100-debut-sales-record?utm_source=twitter
