Adele's new album 25 was set on Monday to smash through the opening-week record in the United States, with at least 2.3 million copies sold in the first three days alone. Nielsen Music said that 25, released on Friday, would by late on Monday match the record of 2.41 million sales in a first week set in 2000 by Justin Timberlake's boy band NSYNC. In a sign of confidence in sales, 25 is a rare album that is not available through online streaming services, the booming sector that allows unlimited on-demand music. 25 would be the fastest-selling album since at least 1991, when Nielsen Music started to track weekly music sales in a methodical way.
