I expect big initial numbers for the single... longevity on Spotify and the like will be the tricky part.
Might even be the first single to sell 100k downloads in a while (without the BoTS ARMY's involvement).
Digital downloads for albums is truly dead tho. It's what she'll have to make up for the most.

I think we also have to take into account though the older people who don't stream and instead still buy physical copies because I still know older people who don't know how to turn computers on so lmao.

If Adele does exclusive physical releases like a deluxe CD with extra songs (she had a Target exclusive for 25) and color vinyls (maybe even multiple colors), I can see her pulling huge album sales again.

And her fandom spans literally generations, from us Gen Z whippersnappers to the elder boomers. Combine that, and she's gonna be a force. 1M is the bare minimum.

She's definitely going to pull over 1M first week with the album, minimum. The album is likely going to be sold again in places music isn't normally sold, and like others have said, you'll have young consumers buying the vinyl and the older audience buying the CD still.

Gah this is so exciting. PERCHED. Morgan Wallen's Dangerous album, which as of September has over 2.5m units sold. Wow, what? I've literally never heard of her or that album and now I feel incredibly out of touch.

Wait until you find out how much of a trash human he is and you'll be disgusted (but not shocked) that America has made this the highest selling album of the year. Hope Adele can surpass him in one week!

I've literally never heard of her or that album and now I feel incredibly out of touch. Yep. Morgan Wallen is the one who spouted the N-word (with the hard ending) outside of his Nashville house while drunk. His album Dangerous was a week or two old (debuted at the top of the Billboard 200) and the consequences he faced led to so many protest streams/downloads/purchases of the album from racism apologists that Dangerous spent a total of ten consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200, the first country album in history to do so. It sold 265k in its first week and sold 100k+ every week afterwards, even after he showed his colors.

Yeah no, there's no way she doesn't clear 1 million first week. That would be one of the steepest album to album drop for any major act as she would need to drop over 70% from 25's 3.3 million to not cross 1 million.
Even if the lead single underperform, I seriously doubt that Adele still wouldn't clear 1 million first week on hype alone. Taylor still cleared 800k with Lover and folklore even though Lover have two stinkers for lead singles and folklore is a surprise release.

Her songs/albums are reappearing on spotify & Apple Musics charts/rising up on iTunes. All based on the 30 billboards and changing social media pics. Adele is going to dominate.
I hope they stocked up on a large amount of vinyls for the album. If they have I'm going to say she's doing 3 million+ again. :'(

Y’all…25 sold 900,000 copies on iTunes its FIRST DAY. The question isn’t if she’ll cross a million. It’s if she’ll cross 2 million.

What if the album is trash? Do you think she would still score a mil just because she’s ms Adkins or nah?

I'm so hype Adele steam train is coming. I wonder if this will be sonically the same as 25/21 or be a totally new sound. Either way I'm excited.
Both 25 and 21 re-enter the Billboard 200 this week.

I'm not even the biggest fan of Adele, I really enjoy songs off of 21 & 25 and love the entirety of 19, but anticipating something this big is just so infatuating.

With the release of her next album, it's likely 25 will pass 10 million pure sales within the next year (last update was ~9.517 million in January 2020).

"Trash" or not, Adele's name rings bells. Facts, no printer.
