Adele Closes in on 10 Million Copies Sold for “21” Album

Share

Adele is bracing for a couple of big milestones this fall. She’s pregnant, and maybe due in a month to six weeks. That’s lovely. But the other news is that her ubiquitous “21” album is closing in 10 million units sold in the United States. So far she’s sold 9.7 million copies. That leaves just 300,000 to go. The way she’s going, all that will take is 10 to 12 weeks. Although with Adele, you never know–there could be another sudden upswing in sales. This week. “21” sold 25, 648 copies according to www.hitsdailydouble.com, and finished 9th for the week. Meanwhile, everyone waits–not just for the baby and the 10 mil mark– but to see if Adele has the theme song for the James Bond movie “Skyfall.” As much as everyone anticipates a new James Bond film, the theme song is incredibly important. Since recent themes from Alicia Keys and others have been disappointments, an Adele track is much desired!
