Watched a clip of UK special on Twitter, she was really surprised to see her teacher there. What a proud moment for both women.

It was nice to have a good sized audience for the ITV special. It wasn't just all celebrities, but quite a lot of members of the public. It was so nice to see everyone singing along to some of her songs.

I Drink Wine is literally so good. I was kinda indifferent at first like it seems like most people have been but holy shit, it’s grown on me so much and is probably my favorite now.

She might have amassed more wealth and success than the majority of the world ever will, but my god she's still so normal and that's part of her charm.

I'm cackling at the way they phrased this tweet lmao.
once again, I wish UK charts would give up their stupid 3-song rule. would have loved seeing the actual extent of the Adele domination. but alas, we'll have to settle for her occupying the Top 3.

They’ve announced “Oh My God” as the official second single…smart choice although “I Drink Wine”’ is in my top three from the album.

"I Drink Wine" was my favorite from the first listen. She slayed.

Woman Like Me is sooooooo good. I love the vocal mixing and the way the song fades out at the end. Excellent track.

Most of this album is a grower for me. It's probably the best artistic album from her but I don't know how many of these songs I'll return to in a few years time. Some are just not catchy at all.
My favourites: Easy on Me (It makes sense now that this was the first single) I Drink Wine Oh My God Hold On

Still processing the album and too early to pick my faves, but glad they are going with a shorter song (OMG) as the next pop single.

The crowd was amazing.

How can we see the ITV special if we’re on the other side of the pond? I’ve been wanting to watch, but don’t know how or if I even can.

HDD predicts the album will debut with 800,000 to 850,000 copies in the first week for the US. Kinda hoping it at least reaches one million but still satisfied.

I expected about 930k-ish. Hopefully it trends up towards the 900k mark.

If even ADELE can’t hit 1 million…the state of this industry is flabbergasting. And not in a good way.

Reminds me a bit of Gaga doing 1.1m then dropping to 258k with the next album. This will obviously have more legs than ARTPOP tho. It's the only comparable drop I can think of from our recent crop of pop stars.

Even with record streaming no one has cleared 1m in a while. We'll see. MTE. I think high six figures is a given. 1M SPS max.

Disappointing, but hope it trends up and crosses 1mil. I think her label/team will likely try to push it as best they can.
I'm hoping it'll be a consistent seller at least in the long run, with a lot of big sales weeks in the run up to Christmas.

honestly, I'm still expecting Adele to perform in the 850k-1.15m range. seeing as her streaming units will be capped at 200k at most, and digital sales are dead, I don't think there will be 1 million physical copies sold to push this over 1.2m. people just aren't buying albums like that anymore, and unlike 25, 30 was made available on streaming immediately upon release. I expect she will break the vinyl record, which should be impressive. she'll probably have that record for a long time. 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."Adele will do more than fine. Adele will do fine, but some on this forum seem to think she has a chance crossing 2 million SPS or even matching 25's numbers... I'm guessing that kind of unreasonable expectation is what Choco is referring to. I still have doubts as to whether she can cross 1 million SPS, she'll probably be in the 800k-1.1m territory.

I will be shocked if this doesn't break 1 million. I think HDD was just low balling to cover themselves.

I will be shocked if this doesn't break 1 million. I think HDD was just low balling to cover themselves. the 500k figure includes pre-orders that were shipped, and therefore will be naturally front-loaded. at this point in the tracking week, 25 had already "sold" 2.3 million pure copies. if this album follows the same exact pace, she should finish with ~720k pure sales. Billboard confirms she's moved around 75k in SEA and TEA units, which puts her on track for my prediction that she'll do between 140k-160k units. in sum, that would put 30 at the 860k-880k range—good enough to possibly beat folklore's opening week (846k) & Lover's opening week (867k), which would grant 30 the biggest album opening week since... reputation (1.2 million).

I still think she’ll cross 1M. Even if it’s just barely, I think she’ll get there.
