‘Rumor Has It’ hitmaker Adele saw rumors swirl about the second week performance of her triple platinum new album ’25.’ Indeed, after the set shifted a mammoth 3.38 million units its first week (and smashed history books along the way), industry analysts began projecting its second week would see it move an additional 850,000 units – a prediction later revised upward to 1 million.
Well, that projection has gone from rumor to reality.
While the final numbers are not set to be revealed until Sunday, December 6th, official reports have already surfaced that as of 2pm EST today the diva’s latest opus did pass the 1 million sold threshold. As a result, it becomes the first album ever to sell 1 million copies in two separate weeks. This, just as the album’s leading tune, ‘Hello,’ greets another week at the top of the Hot 100.
That Adele reign simply will not let up! See the top 20 of this week’s Hot 100 below:
