Breh she just had THE highest grossing tour of all time :dead:

And the concert movie made 260 million in a limited run.

Wtf do y’all be talking about
But my anecdotal evidence tells me otherwise, so either I'm around the wrong women or maybe its teeny boppers who listen to her and its those that I am not around

Adele's last album did real crazy first week numbers and then kinda died off after that.
From the wiki:
30 also scored the biggest second-week sales of the year and the largest second-week total since 2018.[168] Midway through its third week, 30 had sold over a million pure copies in the US, becoming the first 2021 album to reach the milestone.[169][170] During its fourth week, 30 became the best-selling vinyl album of 2021.[171] The album spent six total weeks at number one.[172] 30 was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA for selling of 4 million units in the US.[173] 30 was 2021's year-end best-seller with 1.990 million copies—1.219 million physical copies and 845,000 digital downloads—the only album to sell a million copies. This marked Adele's fifth time with the year's best-selling album. 30 was the fourth-most consumed album of 2021 and second among women, and Adele was the second best-selling artist of 2021.30 was also the top-selling digital album, CD and vinyl LP of 2021.
Looks like it had a decent life after the first week

She speaks to American white women. Most started listening to her from the beginning and related to her teenage love stories in high school in Small Town, USA:yeshrug:

There’s a video on social media where some white artist broke it down. She said Beyonce is too good, like you go to her show and you’re like I can’t do this shyt while Taylor is just them and has their heart. She had the hearts of the biggest consumer demographic in America. She’s a case study in creating brand loyalty.

She went from selling 23 mil off 25 to 6 off 30. Adele still does better than 99% of the industry, but 30 didn't stay on the chart as much as the others,


25 spent 223 weeks on the Billboard 200

30 spent 69.
