Over in the US, after selling 3.38 million copies in its debut week, the album has now surpassed one million sold in the U.S. in its second week, according to Nielsen Music. It is now the first album to sell a million copies in two different weeks in the US since Nielsen began tracking sales data in 1991.
Earlier this week tickets went on sale for Adele’s 2016 UK tour, with shows selling out within minutes. Demand for the shows was so high that extra dates had to be added, while touts are offering tickets at inflated prices of up to £1,000.
