Adele is set to sell another 155k CD’s this week and has no signs of slowing down. Adele recently told a magazine that she never thought her latest CD would have such an impact.
“I was saying, “I don’t think this record is going to do anything. I can’t feel the buzz in America,”‘ she said.
Rob Stringer, CEO of Columbia Records was quite surprised as well.
‘When everybody heard the record, they knew it was special,’ he told the magazine. ‘But not one person could honestly tell you they thought it would sell this many.’
It’s hard to predict the sales of artists today with the changing variables and moving parts.
