Everyone has one in there car... 

Not any car since the mid 2010's has a cd player. Computers don't even have CD drives anymore.

And people don't buy/listen to full albums anymore. They listen to tracks individually. That is now gen z consumes music. 

Adele is great! But her target demo is aging - especially the millenials.

I want to buy this version of the album.

Fantastic numbers! This will continue to sell well through at least February of next year. Especially with Easy On Me serving longevity and Oh My God shaping up to be a hit. 

They probably could have really pushed for 1 million if they wanted. The vinyls going for $40 didn’t help I’m sure. Target being closed on Thursday didn’t help either. 

Hopefully we can get an extended version of the album next year! They can add 3 new tracks and Wild Wild West to this version (‘cause WWW not being on streaming services is a cold slap).

If I drink wine is the next single, it’s gonna start flopping.

I find it weird that 30 didn't outsell Folklore in its first week. Adele was literally everywhere, LITERELLY. With the way the media portrayed the comeback, I expected at least 2 million copies.

I mean we all knew 30 will be third years biggest album, but I expected landslide numbers.

I'm curious to see the album's sales in weeks 2 and 3. 

She literally didn't even promote the album.. just one concert and that's all in US. No live shows no other events or concerts.

Oh My God is the second single. It’s already top 40 on pop radio.

adele sold cause of her brand , not her current material. the new album is not good. anyways it is what it is i guess. 

I agree with this. From a "musicianship" point of view, it is good just because she is doing what no other or almost no other mainstream act is doing, which is using real instruments, almost no voice adjustments and sparse instrumentation. But she is not doing anything innovative. If anything, she is appealing to a feeling of melancholy people have over past production styles.

What she did is brave, cause jazz is definitiley not a big seller, and she went very vintage, jazzy, but I think its a snoozefest nonetheless.

I am not loving the album.. keep trying.. her voice is stunning .. yet I just am not  feeling it . Maybe its a sleeper .. yet I was like next .. next .. next .. next .. revisited it .. again and again.. next , next , next .  Now I am saying maybe 🤔 next album. Listened with a friend.. she was like I love Adele. Then decided not to buy the album after hearing it. Next .. bye bye 30

overrated just like Beyonce is

Beyonce atleast is versatile and can dance, on the other side Adele made the same thing since the start of her career back in 2007.

Adele didn't have a massive comeback single this time, Easy on me underperformed for her standart and Taylor keep working for years.

Britney is a performer/entertainer. She commands a stage, her videos are so powerful, and she serves pure pop music. 

Adele and Taylor are singers. The focus is mostly on music, vocals, and lyrics. While Adele has her own formula, Taylor served us pop, country, and alternative. 

You cannot compare the three women with each other. Each have their own contribution. 

Britney sings better than Taylor.

Because this doesn't have 18 variants of vinyl + bundling! Adele is as organic as it gets she is up in UK + doing good overall in Europe.

Excuse me? Did she perform anywhere? Any live shows? no AMA, no live shows just one concert. She literally didn't promote the album in its first week. She only performed the weakest songs at the One night only and that's all. Do you call that promo? LMAO

Are you kidding me? She had a gazillion interviews that were covered by every TV channel and radio station. Her billboards were everywhere. CBS dedicated a two hour slot for her with OPRAH, and that was watched by  more than 10 million people. The Australians new reporter drama by itself was huge promotion. 

Promo via AMAs and VMAs are a thing of the past, have you seen the low ratings they get? No one cares about that anymore.

Britney is too controversial for general public to buy her albums, old people just don't really enjoy songs like Toxic, Oops I Did It Again, Work ***** etc. I guess? They prefer some boring songs of Adele and Taylor
