Adele's 25 breaks Oasis' first week sales record
The singer sails past Oasis' first chart week sales record.

As sales of Adele's 25 continue to plough ahead this week, The Official Charts Company can confirm today (November 26) that she's passed Oasis' week one sales record.

Sales of 25 stand at 737,000 in today's sales flash, sailing past the 696,000 opening week sales Oasis racked up with Be Here Now in 1997. However, the band's album was released on a Thursday so only had three days of sales registering towards its first chart week.

By comparison, when 21 was first released in January 2011 it sold 208,000 copies in its first week, finally passing 500,000 sales in its fourth week on sale. It only achieved its biggest one-week tally in its 10th week on sale, a total of 258,000 copies.

Her debut 19 sold 73,000 copies in its first week on release in February 2008, a total which it never again matched – it hit the 500,000 sales mark after 53 weeks on sale.

Adele's final sales sales of 25 will be revealed tomorrow on OfficialCharts.com at 5.45pm and on BBC Radio 1's Official Chart show between 4pm and 6pm. Click here to view the current Top 100.

I'm sure they'll add more dates lol.

I'm LOVING watching the 26 remaining Britney stans lose their shit. They're now collectively plastering "Adele who?" under every Facebook article about 25's first week sales. As if none of us are gonna know why they're doing it.

And of course the hetero male rock and alternative fanboys are suicidal over her taking the UK record from Oasis. One literally just told me that it doesn't matter because a lot of her sales are digital and it's easier to download than it is to go the store, and because she may not surpass their literal 7 day total. And yes, he denied that UK album sales being down over 75% compared to the 90s negates those factors.

AN ADELE THANKSGIVING: 3.5M IN SIGHT

Adele’s 25 continues to surge, up 25% from Tuesday. Forecasts now put the megastar’s new set at 3.5 million for her debut week—leaving prior sales records in the dust—and possibly as much as 6m for the season.

The latter benchmark would mean she was more than halfway to the RTD sales on 2011’s 21, which happens to be #5 at iTunes as of this writing (25 remains at #1, of course, as does “Hello” on the singles side).

Will Target alone, with its exclusive deluxe CD edition of the album, move as much as 900k this week? Hold onto your turkeys and stay tuned.

Adele’s 25 is officially the UK’s biggest selling Number 1 album ever
The singer enters at Number 1 with record breaking sales.

There was little doubt she’d storm to Number 1, but today the Official Charts Company can confirm that Adele’s 25 is the biggest Number 1 album ever.

The highly anticipated album sold a staggering 800,307 copies this week, giving her the highest opening week sales in Official Chart history, beating Oasis’ previous record with Be Here Now (who sold 696,000 in their debut chart week, though it was released on a Thursday so only registered three days of sales).

It’s been an incredible week for Adele. To put the sales figures into context, 25 has sold more than the rest of the Top 75 combined this week (the next 86 albums, to be precise) AND more than the last 19 Number 1 albums in the UK combined also. Its total sales figure this week means it already receives a 2x Platinum certification by the BPI.

As well as having one of the biggest first day sales totals ever, 25 is also the most downloaded Number 1 album ever, shifting an incredible 252,423 digital copies this week. Click here to find out more about Adele's week on the Official Chart.

Martin Talbot, Chief Executive, Official Charts Company comments: “The massive impact of 25 this week marks the moment that Adele has transformed herself from a phenomenon of our age to an all-time great. The statistics surrounding the album are staggering, topped by the simple fact that no album has ever sold 800,000 copies to reach Number 1 in the history of British music.

“What the future holds for 25 will unfold over the coming weeks and months, of course – but we can all be absolutely sure that more records will be toppled as Adele fever grips the nation in the run-up to Christmas.”

Meanwhile, Elvis Presley climbs back up a place to Number 2 with If I Can Dream, and Justin Bieber’s Purpose is at 3.

Enya scores her highest charting album in 18 years today with Dark Sky Island, which debuts at Number 4. The record is the Irish singer’s first studio album in seven years and matches the peak of her 1997 Best Of collection. :clap:

Completing this week’s Top 5 are One Direction with their former Number 1 album, Made In The A.M.

Olly Murs’ Never Been Better re-enters the Top 10 at Number 9 this week, thanks to a special edition re-release, and Take That’s re-pack of their latest album III lands at Number 11.

A new edition of Cilla Black – The Very Best Of is new at Number 17 this week (the album topped the Official Chart earlier this year after her death), Status Quo’s Accept No Substitute – The Definitive enters at 21, and Tracy Chapman’s Greatest Hits lands at Number 30.

Finally, Maroon 5’s Singles collection (35), Benjamin Clementine’s Mercury Prize-winning album At Least For Now (37) and Queen’s A Night At The Odeon (40) all earn a place in this week’s Top 40.

I reckon she'll be fine. She seems to be very much her own boss and does exactly what she wants to do. She has mentioned lately that she says 'no' a LOT and doesn't let anyone put her under pressure. :clap:

I think the Japanese just hate fat people. Even Mariah came back down to earth there after her late 90s/early 00s weight fluctuations hit.

Sad but true apparently. They don't like their stars to be overweight. Bloody hell.

Another record broken: It took 25 just 10 days to reach over 1 millions sales in the UK, beating Oasis (who took 17 days).

What is the WW tally? Easily 10 million in the first week I assume.
