Out Now (US/Canada) - Out Now (UK)
Adele is set to the highest first-week sales since Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, that sold 276k at the beginning of January.
Adele’s does have a strong promotional campaign, she had a TV performance of "Rolling in the Deep" live on David Letterman. The track is becoming a hit here in the US, reaching to #41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and still climbing the charts.
In the UK, "21" has already sold over the 500k and is still top for four consecutive weeks. So far it looks like it will be one of the best selling albums of 2011.
To be honest, I didn't think that "21" would except to sell this much here in US, but then again why wouldn't it, it is a great album.
