Will Smith cover incoming. Revisiting her catalog in anticipation of this. "Don't You Remember" is criminally underrated. Right? It was instant for me when 21 came out and has been constant ever since, yet I seem to be the only one to recognize it. It makes me sad.

It won't. Expecting anything to surpass "Hello" is being delusional. It also won't out-do 25 either. But there hype for this release has real. She hasn't even performed this song once.

I have already heard “Easy On Me” 25 times in the past week alone on my local radio station. The hype for this release is real and with her now-proven streaming presence, and her already-stocked loads of vinyls and CDs ready, she’s at least matching 25. At WORST, she is doing over 1m.

She's definitely not matching 25. Her first week single sales went from over 1 million for "Hello" to 70k for "Easy on Me." The climate is much more different now than it was in 2015.
The song is also performing fine on Spotify—phenomenal first day numbers but it fell below Lil Nas X in the US already, and looks like it will lose out on the Hot 100 to Ed Sheeran this week. The album is comfortably going to be #1, but 1 million is not even guaranteed at this point, let alone a "worst case scenario."

I'm gonna be "that guy"...as well as she's doing (and she's doing really well, don't get me wrong) this doesn't seem to be making quite the impact Hello made. That song was everywhere, on the radio, social media, memes, etc. I have yet to hear "Easy on Me" other than when I went to listen to it on Spotify. (I only listened once...I wasn't really impressed, I won't lie.) I'm very curious if 30 will have the same impact that 25 did or if it will have a comparatively softer release than 25. 25 and 21 have both jumped back into the top 40 since this song released. It is definitely making an impact.

The album has hype. The album could have the biggest opening week of the year (and biggest since 25). The album could have a significant drop from 25’s numbers.
All of these statements can simultaneously be true and everything can still be okay.

CBS special before album release then ITV special week of album release. Adelemania is going to set in very soon. I feel like she's going to pull absolutely insane numbers in the UK. Not just for her new album but across her entire discography. The week of album release I wouldn't be surprised if most of the tracks from 19, 21 and 25 are all in the top 100 of spotify UK and maybe Global/US etc.
This is going to be an EVENT and I cannot f**king wait! this makes me really upset with the UK Chart rules. she could have had an album bomb like no other in the UK :( TO be fair I'm quite happy with that rule though. I would hate continous chart disruption due to constant album bombs like you see if the US charts. Either way her single sales are going to be huge. I wonder if she'll be able to pass 200 million records sold by the time the era ends. I think she's on about 120 million records as of the end of 2019? She's obviously done millions more since, especially with the recent surge in her back catalogue with the release of "Easy On Me" and the build up to the new album.

1 million seems pretty much guaranteed first week. Now I’m excited to see how much further she can go.

Is this worldwide or in the US? Worldwide I assume. If they booked up most vinyl pressing factories, they should be making thousands of new vinyls everyday. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell 1-2 million vinyls of the album by the end of the year if they continue to make them throughout the album release (which I'm sure they will).

I feel like this is a teaser single. There’s a reason why this CBS special is the Sunday before album release. I expect she’s going to drop the bomb(sure fire hit) on the special and it will be released to radio immediately after. I’m saying that because EOM was not immediate like Hello and I do think that mix above is better than the single. But I think they may be going for a bit more longevity with this album? After Hello it was pretty much over singles wise. Yes, there was a bit of success but it wasn’t anything it could or should have been. I blame that on the label and how releases were handled. Adele doesn’t really need a huge single weeks out to sell an album right now. Nor did she on the last release and I don’t think THAT response was expected.

I do hope we get the second single releasing next week. Especially with her CBS special on the sunday.
Max Martin/Shellbeck song as second single release next week with the video please! :( I know we don't have long to go but I really want to hear it ASAP!

The first single has only been out two weeks. 😂 Y’all waited six years for a new era.
