Well, damn, Adele! This woman is not playing! Even Michael Jackson has never sold a little over 3 million copies in his first week for any of his albums. And, he has the, "greatest album of all time". I don't think anyone will be able to beat this record. This is crazy! So, I don't want to hear, "People don't buy albums like they used to." Bullshit! If this woman can sell over 3 million albums, then that means people are still willing to buy and not illegally download, etc. If the music is good and it resonates with people, then they will go out and buy it. Plain and simple. If other CD's are not selling, then it's possible that the music is just not good. If people like what they hear, believe me, NOTHING will stop them from buying it. Congrats to Adele!
