Adele’s ’25’ Breaks *NSYNC’s First-Week Sales Record

In just days, Adele’s “25” has officially set a
new first-week sales record, moving 2.433 million albums since its release
Friday.

On Tuesday, Nielsen Music said that in just four days the
British singer broke the record previously set by ‘N Sync in 2000.

The boy band’s “No Strings Attached” sold 2.416

Adele’s last album, 2011’s “21,” sold more than
11 million units in the United States.

The new album’s first single, “Hello,” is
spending its fourth week on top of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
