Adele’s ’25’ CD Has Sold a Record 2.3 Million Copies in the First Three Days

According to Billboard, this was expected.

industry insiders are predicting that 25 could possibly move 2.5 million copies by the end of its first week alone. This would knock NSYNC off the top spot — their 2000 sophomore album No Strings Attached sold 2.41 million copies in its first week, which remains the largest sales week for an album taking place during the Nielsen-era.

This is Adele's second No. 1. CD! She first led the charts with the release of her debut CD, '21', which spent 24 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list! It stayed on top for the most weeks at No. 1 for a release by a woman. '21' has sold 11.23 million copies to this date. Can '25' surpass that? We'll see.
