Not only did she return to the limelight, but she also made a big comeback to success as her latest material continues to soar high. Following the release of her new album "25", Adele is all set to break records for hitting the biggest one-week sales in albums in the UK music chart history.
The album, which placed no. 1 at the iTunes music chart, has reportedly sold a total of 300,000 copies around the UK since its release on Friday, making it one of the biggest opening day in the history.
The only albums sold higher than Adele's were 'Progress' by Take That, which sold more than 500,000 copies in just one week back in 2010 and Oasis' 'Be Here Now', which sold 695,761 during its first week back in 1997.
The success of the new album came after the success of Adele's hit single "Hello", which is included on the album's track list. The new track has been held as platinum and turned out as the fastest selling track for the year.
Adele is among the few artists who could sell albums in huge numbers, however, though she had been able to sell out an impressive number of albums, it hasn't changed the fact that the sales in albums have massively declined over the past five years.
Mark Mulligan, an industry analyst, said that in comparison to the market of today and to the market four years ago when Adele debuted her album 21, she could really hardly surpass the records especially when it goes down to having a long-term sales in albums.
"The important thing that Adele did with 21 was she managed to get lots of fading music buyers back out of the woodwork and buying albums." He explained. "But the odds of those people being dragged out of the woodwork again, four years later, are even less because they would have receded even further from music buying."
As critics throw their perspective on Adele's success, the soulful singer remains at the top of several music charts and has continued to soar higher with her record-breaking album's lead single "Hello".
