Rofl she did 49.3 million streams on spotify yesterday. 19.7 million with one new song and near 30 million with old catalog. She is insane. Lmao.

24.03m with the new song* 19.7m are the filtered ones

Both record anyways lol

If someone has a shot to endanger the big 4 dominance that's her

Taylor is basically a watered down version of Adele in terms of sales and streams

or… they’re two separate artists who have different methods for releasing music one is renowned for massive blockbusters the other her amazing consistency and constant relevance

Simply 3 biggest female artists of century along with Rihanna

Hi MJD!

I have a question about first week sales

Is it true that MJ's Bad sold 7 million in first week (worldwide) or Adele really holds the record?

so do Taylor and Rihanna (if she ever decides to release) ngl

If 30 endsup with 6 billion spotify streams, from just 12 songs. That will be amazing, considering. 500 million per track. She is smashing on apple and many asian countries too. So her streaming eas will be great too by next year end. Higher will depend on how singles connect with gp and will she have one billion seller or multiple from 30 or none, If easy on me falls after week .. From her catalog. She has 2. Ritd will be 3rd and 4th will be wwwy. Quite amazing for catalog.

Nothing is impossible but Rihanna looks like she's not very interested in music anymore, she makes a lot of money with fashion. Taylor Swift is still going very strong, but I don't see her selling 10 mln EAS with a single album anymore, though she can still surprise me.

I can't believe 21 is actually lower on CSPC than the earlier automatic update. Other than that, brilliant of course

I think Taylor as well as Adele has a shot to be in the all-time top 5 female artists. For Adele, her upcoming album might be pivotal for that

reputation, Lover and folklore will all pass the 10 million mark. evermore pretty much will not due to it really being overshadowed by its predecessor.

she still has high GP interest in her (check out her catalog streams and non-singles tracks streams, and how well her rerecorded material is doing) if her upcoming studio albums is executed well (good singles choices unlike Lover and not a surprise non-mainstream release like folklore and evermore) I think it can easily be bigger than reputation.

also this is what MJD had to say about this Adele vs Taylor vs Rihanna topic:

"the way Adele builds her career for example is limiting her. On an album by album comparison she destroys Taylor, yet in the long run Taylor seems poised to be the biggest. Artists’ heydays are short, I consider the norm to be 6 years, so when you wait 5 years between each album it’s impossible to compete. You may be able to hold the comparison by doing crazy numbers upon release as Adele or Jackson before her did, but it’s very, very difficult to keep challenging the others in terms of catalog sales.

Adele’s albums are all among the most streamed albums from their respective years (5-1-5 in their annual lists), yet she gains only 4 million daily streams. Taylor was doing 10 million a day without the addition of folklore and evermore to her catalog, which is now worth 12+ million a day, 3 times more than Adele. Even if Adele returns and does 20 million album sales, which seems very unlikely now, she will jump ahead of Taylor only to see her move back on top as years pass. It’s also not like she can continue pulling 20 million sellers from time to time, as I said heydays are shortlived, while catalog sales are an evergreen source of success, and that’s not 1 but 3-4-5 more very successful albums she need to get 10+ million daily streams organically.

Rihanna registers 9 million streams per day, so if she returns to the scene and manages to be as successful as she used to be, she is still a force to be reckoned with, and can follow the footsteps of Taylor or outdo her. This being said, she hasn’t released a thing for 5 years and only 1 album in 9 years. At the moment I see her as a superstar athlete who’s injured for so long that it’s hard to value her on the back of the talent she has, as clubs don’t buy injured players, it’s hard to put money on her at the moment."

Damn eom did 10 million on sunday. Smash so far. And coming for apple music record too. If it keeps the pace for week after week, 30 will get some grand opening worldwide. Cbs special on 14 november confirmed too which will get her big us numbers. Her label spends money, because return is big.

Looks like '19' is not updating properly

Hi Betty!
It has been corrected a few minutes ago, so the figures in Adele's article are ok now. For top albums we will have to wait tomorrow the global update.

Ever? I thought that was Madonna...?

There are several female artists way ahead of Adele as far as commercial success goes. And ya Madonna will remain untouchable for a very long long time.

Wow, what a woman! Proof that you don't need gimmicks and booty-shaking and teen-bopper music to sell records as a woman. She let's the music speak for her, and the people connect with it! That's why she's way ahead of these so called "music industry queens" whose names I don't need to mention.

Adele's peak of popularity is at the same level as Michael Jackson's peak was.

where did papi mjd say this

Na even as Adele fan this is not true. Her peak can be compared with whitney but Mj was household name in my home asian country where adele is not famous. Not even madonna beatles adele can match that level. Just that i am glad my fave is not a predator

Other need to sell pr articles calling them music industry. Adele does it without pr. Adele plans to go full on tour this time. If she goes stadium, she gonna set venue record everywhere like she did with stadium dates of last tour ( sold nearly million tickets from 13 dates, which weren't reported officialy and grossed 100 million ). She can tour countries where swift can never. Her reach is way more. Last time she had 10 million ticket demand in america alone. Hoping she does full stadium tour this time, because she can sell tickets in minutes
