Sorry for the double post but this deserves its own, tbh: The big production of vinyls paying off. It must be around ~200k vinyl sales in the US now. I would think it'll continue to sell well over the next few weeks!

Weren’t people “concerned” that she didn’t break vinyl records her first week? Adele is absolutely smashing these sales. That’s crazy people are buying the vinyl still in the third week.

YES! It's incredible how quiet this thread has been since the first week sales were released.

I always thought the arguments were weird about the label overshipping vinyls. I doubt they expected to sell all of those in one week. It will most likely sell overtime, and they probably stocked up for the holiday season. It's probably more likely that they overshipped regular CDs than the vinyls.

Eh, to be fair Adele herself has been hella quiet after release week as well lol. I expect the era to pick up a bit after New Year's Day, hopefully with an "Oh My God" video. (I expect pure sales will also slow down a bit after Xmas, so it's wise to hold on to the promo until it's needed).

I’ve been enjoying this album so so much. Interesting enough… the song I like the least is apparently the one everybody and critics adore. Yep… To Be Loved. 😬 And don’t care much either for Hold On, another one Oprah and other people were nuts about. So, other than those two, I LOVE this album and have been streaming it a lot.

I have kept "Easy on Me", "Hold On", "Oh My God", "Can I Get It", "Love is a Game" and "I Drink Wine" on rotation. "Wine" has grown on me a lot. I need a few more videos and promo soon tho, keep us engaged queen (especially those of us unlucky enough to not be going to the residency).

I know this album will grow on me but still it'll be my least favorite Adele album.

I purchased the album on release day, though I haven't listened to it yet. :o I wanted to revisit the first three albums before doing so, and only got to 19. Been listening to/playing "Easy on Me" a good amount, though. Love that song.

I assume we'll get a music video for "Oh My God" in January along with a performance at the Grammys on the 31st. Plus some extra bits and pieces of promo revolving around her Vegas residency which starts on the 21st. I think we'll get the 3rd single and promo for it after her Vegas residency finishes in April. Perhaps the 3rd single in May with another promo blitz during the summer. I do hope she performs on every possible award show next year. Grammys/BRITS/iHeartRadio Music Awards/BMAs/VMAs/AMAs. Perhaps even some of the country music award shows (ACM/CMT/CMAs) if the "Easy On Me" duet with Chris Stapleton manages to become a decent hit on country radio (re-entered the top 50 with a decent bullet suprisingly).

Will she score another week of ruling both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100? It may be closer on the Hot 100 than some early forecasters were predicting. EOM audio streams, per HITS, finished at nearly 14.1 million (a little less than half of "All I Want..."). Thus, total may be around 18 million to 19 million, with video in the mix.

I need a few more videos and promo soon tho, keep us engaged queen (especially those of us unlucky enough to not be going to the residency). no omg same this past week I got HOOKED on "I Drink Wine." enters my personal chart at No. 5 (outpeaks "Easy on Me") and "Oh My God" is at No. 8 after debuting at No. 1 during album release week. to address some weird attempts at shady posts above—her last album had 3 weeks above 1 million SPS, iirc. 4 weeks above 100k/at No. 1 is like Olivia Rodrigo and M*rgan Wallen levels of success, nothing to write home about. 30's obviously showing a healthy performance in the long run and no one ever doubted it would. the discussions in the first week were about the delusional expectations people were setting, saying 1 million SPS was "guaranteed" and she could even do more than 2 million and sell 500k vinyl copies in a week etc. and we all saw what happened. there really isn't much to say right now other than congratulations Adele for another week atop the Hot 100 & BB200. I'm ready for a new music video. we already know she has one ready for "I Drink Wine" but I have a feeling they're going to release one for "Oh My God" first, which I wouldn't be mad at. feed us miss adkins!

I would love this to serve longevity, with several music videos. The last time she released more than two "legit" videos was during the 19 era.
I don't think it's as "shady" to point out some Debbie Downers' disappearing acts as it is for some Debbie Downers to doom an album based off its first week of release. In any other situation, 830k+ first week numbers would have been praised, but Adele really set the bar high. Sure, there were some high expectations, and rightfully so. Adele exceeded many expectations in the past, but that doesn't mean she can keep doing so. And that's perfectly fine. With that being said, let's see what she does after the holidays to get a better picture of how much longevity 30 will have.

If they release one for "Oh My God" in the new year then we will definitely get 3! I fully expect them to do 4 singles/videos. I'm really looking forward to January/February where she'll likely give a Grammys performance/win some BRIT awards and perform and her Vegas residency begins. Also her sales this week have been very stable in the UK/US. I hope that means we'll get a big increase in sales in the run up to Christmas.

I finally received my copy of "30" in the mail yesterday and I love it. I only buy one or two cds a year and I always enjoy reading the booklet and/or looking at the pictures as the cd plays on my computer. I had streamed the songs before but listening to the whole thing from start to finish is phenomenal. I'm glad her sales have been stable.

If Adele wins all 4 BRIT awards that she's nominated for, she'll tie for most BRIT awards with 13 (Robbie Williams has 13 currently).
