Adele’s new album, ’25,’ breaking record sales

Also, her website is saying that “the resale of tickets will not be tolerated”, so scalpers better think twice about trying to mess with Adele.

Being the first living artist to achieve the feat of having two top 5 hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964.

ADELE DESCRIBED 21 as a “break-up album”, but 25 as a “make-up album…making up with myself”, but the fall-out from break-up still haunts many of these, often melancholy, songs of regret for what has happened, what has gone, and what can never return.

“25” is Adele’s third studio album, which followed other numerical named albums “19” and “21”. Since she has released so many of these ballads before and has such a distinctive sound, about five of the tracks on 25 could be knocked out for sounding so similar. Labels don’t have a say in this type of licensing; so Adele’s new album, like Taylor Swift’s 1989 past year, still ends up streaming on Pandora.

LONDON-Adele has announced her first tour since 2011, with a string of European dates in support of her record-breaking new album, 25.

“It is clear radio listeners love Adele and are coming to Pandora to enjoy her incredible music”. The LP, which was released on 13 November 2015, is on track to take the number one spot after selling nearly 800,000 copies in its first week of release in the United Kingdom and around 3 million in the US. Paid streaming services like privately-held Spotify and Apple Music don’t have access to the complete album for their subscribers.

According to Dave Bakula, senior vice President of industry insights for Nielsen Music, the sales of “25” will keep increasing.

Adele’s 25 is projected to sell 2.9 million units in its debut week, with experts suggesting that 42 per cent of all USA record buyers have picked up a copy. But the man who broke Adele’s heart – whoever he was – is long gone, and Adele has since become a mother and found new love.

The U.S. online radio service said all songs from Adele’s album, which broke records in first-week sales, are now available on its radio service, sending Pandora shares up on Wednesday.
