As reported here, Adele‘s massive comeback album, ’25,’ was expected to move 750,000 units by end of tallying last week.  If such feat was accomplished, the powerhouse diva would have crossed the 6 million sold threshold.

Now, on this side of tallying, we should’ve known better than to put any “ifs” in the equation.

Moving a whopping 825,000 units in its 4th week of availability (790,000 of which were pure sales), the project not only skipped right over that “6 million sold” mark, but now lays claim to a new sales record: ” first album to sell over 695,000 copies in four different weeks.”  With the added sales boost, ’25’ also claims the title of “second best-selling album” of the decade, an honor that sees her eclipsed only by the sales of the top titleholder – herself with ’21’ (which re-entered the Billboard 200’s top 10 this week).  Even its predecessor, ’19,’ has re-entered the top 40 this week.

Elsewhere on the Billboard 200, thanks to a few holiday-themed albums and reignited sales of some of the year’s favorite cuts, August Alsina and R. Kelly missed out on the top 10 completely (as we reported here).  Get into the top 20 below:

adele 2015 5 million tgj

The Billboard Hot 100 has not said hello to a new leader in 7 weeks thanks to Adele.

In notching its 7th week atop the tally, her massive comeback single matches the reign of her signature hit ‘Rolling in the Deep’ (her longest run at #1 to date).  With just one more week, she’ll not only set a personal best, but she’ll extend her run with the longest time at the top of the chart for any female artist this year.

Elsewhere, on the Billboard 200, there is no stopping the song’s parent album, ’25.’  Predicted to sell a whopping 750,000 more units, the project is not only a sure bet for #1 but will sell over 20 times any new entry set to place on the chart’s top 10 this week (see:  August Alsina, R. Kelly, and more).  Sitting pretty at 5.19 million sold as of last Friday, if this week’s predicted numbers prove correct, Addy will cross the 6 million threshold in just 4 weeks.
