Report says that iTunes Store saw 900,000 downloads on its first day for Adele’s “25”, outperforming Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” which only sold 662,000 digital copies in its first week. He even described the popularity of Adele’s “25” as “unprecedented” and shared that the store has stocked a special edition of the “Hello” crooner’s new album.

The boys also hold the title for second-fastest album with 2001’s follow-up, Celebrity, selling more than 1.8million copies.
The much-anticipated album 25 was not available for streaming on any other digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer.
Like pop star Taylor Swift and a handful of others, Adele had made 25 unavailable for streaming on Spotify and other services, in a bid to boost sales of the physical album and downloads.
He added: “No album has ever sold 800,000 copies to reach number one in the history of British music”.
Be Here Now, Oasis’s third album, from back in 1997 is the one to beat.
No matter what, Adele’s voice will always draw in hordes of listeners of all ages, genders, languages, and backgrounds, and she will stay at the top of the charts as long as she continues to produce music.
As expected, Adele delivered yet another remarkable performance that blew the audience away as she sang her new hit “When We Were Young”. “25′ has outsold the rest of the top 53 albums combined during its first week on sale and 25 is already the fourth biggest selling album in NZ of 2015”.
Her new album, 25, has managed to top the best releases of 2015.
The Someone Like You hitmaker will play three dates at Dublin’s 3Arena on 4, 5 and 7 March, and will perform at the SSE Arena in Belfast on 29 February and 1 March.

It was released last Friday by XL Recordings and according to Nielsen, the company that tracks music sales, it had already shifted 2.3 million copies by Monday morning. It’s certainly paying off for Adele so far – 25 is tipped to be nudging sales of three million by the end of this week.
