No, billboard said its debuting with 500k sales at least without streaming
Question is that market has changed, not Adele popularity, wrote WSJ about one month ago. Predicted is that Adele 30 will sell in the USA maybe 0,8 million equivalent copies.
When are the pure sales from 30 being added to the board? Pretty sure, she will finish the year with over 2M pure sales only counting the US and UK.
Hello. I was wondering if you can do a breakdown of Someone like you and skyfall? I'm surprised that they sold that much considering their USA sales. Thank you!
What is 30's total EAS? 5 million? Quite a fall for her standards , but anyways 100 million with 4 eras is huge achievement, especially for non american artist. And i think best selling european women. And i think with 4 eras, her decade end total will be around114 to 120 million EAS. Average of 28 to 30 million per era. But another long gap won't be good for her next album. Still 13 years was a great run. She can't afford another big gap, unless she is ok with flopping.
já ultrapassou 3 milhões só contando uk e us. kkkkkkkkk
inclusive no mundo ela vendeu 5 milhões em cópias puras só no ano passado. (43 dias)
I 100% agree that now is not the time for Adele to take a long break if she wants to keep her career going strong. The '30' era might as well be called the Easy on Me era because that is the single that is defining the era and the only thing most people will take away from it. However many people are moving on from that song already, and her other singles really aren't taking off even with amazing playlist support. I think her best move would be to hit the studio and come up with something big for 2023. Maybe even do a couple big soundtrack songs in between.
30 is probably around 5 or 5.5 million EAS now, and the road to 10 million will be long.
I feel she is losing ground, as a lot of artists do after there 4 th album. She needs to change things up a bit, as a lot of people find her boring and same old stuff. She won’t beat her 21 sales unless sh does.
30 is already out of top 10 , spending less time than even albums of like Ariana's positions, it's definitely not flop but its flopping right now which will be clear by next coming weeks as holiday boost is already over and clearance sales are completely out ...everyone was expecting her and very much confidently to break scorpion or certified lover boy spotify record but it couldn't go even half way ... which is strange after she had two huge online/tv concerts with 10-15 million viewers and easy on me getting 24 million streams alone ... either people just moved on quickly or everyone was stunned by those projections at every monument ... i just am not able to make sense of it... i mean especially after first 6-7 months physical sales would dry up as everyone who wanted bought it and streams are already declining fastly so no new audience is being attracted... and no one can say that album wasn't promoted ... what i think is of @MJD comment few months ago about rihanna and adele being horses that are no longer in race or are just wounded ... he really saw it coming
I just think she waited way too long to release '30'. Ideally she needed to release the follow up to '25' within two or three years of it's release. Six years is a huge gap between albums even for the biggest artist. People lose interest and move on. I'll be surprised if she has any more big/successful albums.
Still, as you say, she had a great run and her long term numbers from the material she has already release will probably continue to grow at a steady pace...
Alot has changed too since 2015. This is her first album in the streaming era and well, it might have performed better than the rest but pales compared to her standard. Nonetheless, not all artist gets that kind of success with 6 years gap between releases. EOM also surprisingly is stable on the charts. Funny how she's still at the top despite all that lol.
Waiting another 4-6 years for a new album will kill her career as a mega-seller, I believe Adele needs to act now to ensure '30' is a bigger success. She should re-release the album with new songs, ideally more than 5 or 6, a brand new lead single and then another single with the re-release that is a major collaboration. Perhaps a power ballad with Lady Gaga, a more adult oriented audience embraced her with A Star is Born so there is overlap there and it wouldn't turn off her core buyers while still providing a good boost in streams. She needs to get this album to over 10M units and get more hits other than "Easy On Me".
I mean we first gotta stop acting as if this a complete failure. The only thing that she had mishandled is actually promoting and doing her job as a performer. But the album alone did will despite it being botched in every way possible. By the time MJD gets around to update the pure sales and everything else its going to end up between 7-8 million- on par and surpassing some of the biggest albums of the decade like Folklore, Sour and Planet Her. if that isn't a testament to her continued appeal than everyone else are nobodies.
