Adele?s new album ?25? continues to break records.
After smashing the record for the most albums sold in the U.S. in a single week, it also exceeded all estimations and expectations as the LP tallied a colossal total of 3.38 million copies in its debut week.
Billboard reports, that the album became only the second one to sell over two million copies in its first week ?N'Sync's No Strings Attached, moved 2.42 million copies in its first week of sales in March 2000 .
?25? is also the first album ever to exceed three million in sales in one week.
It only took seven days of availability for ?25? to be the U.S.'s highest-selling album of 2015, nearly doubling the 1.8 million copies of Taylor Swift's 1989 had accrued in the first 11 months of the year.
Adele's latest is also just the 20th album to put up platinum numbers ? over one million copies sold ? in its first week of sales since Nielsen started keeping track in 1991.
The singer?s catalog is now responsible for the top-selling album in three of the past five years: 21 was the bestselling album of 2011 and 2012 ? the first time in charts history that an album repeated that feat ? and 25 will undoubtedly hold the crown of 2015's bestseller when the calendar turns.
