Adele: 30 becomes 2021's fastest-selling album.

Editor Kate Watkins - 27-11-2021

Adele's new album "30" has topped the number one spot and over taken Abba to become the fastest-selling album of 2021.

"30" has shifted over 261,000 copies within the first 7 days of release according to the official charts company.

This means "30" has now surpassed Swedish pop group ABBA 'S ALBUM "Voyage " which sold just over 204,000 copies within it's first week of sale.

Adele has not only took the number 1 spot on the album chart but also has 3 new entries including holding on the number 1 spot with "Easy On Me" on the Official Single Chart.

Adele has also seen a massive decline in sales compared to her past albums releases

which include her third album "25".

"25" sold over 800,000 copies in it's first-week sales, which means 30 has sold 32% less of its predecessor.

The drop can be partially explained by the huge growth of streaming over the past few l years . Added to which, there was a greater incentive for fans to buy 25, as it was kept off all the streaming platforms for first six months of release.

Adele's "30" has also become 2021’s best-selling album in the US, in just three days after the album was released. According to Billboard report "30" has shifted over 500,000 copies in the US between 19 November and 21 November.

It has already surpassed the year’s previous top-seller Taylor Swift’s Evermore, that was released on 11 December 2020 and sold 462,000 copies in 2021 as of last week.
