Adele's just released album, "25," is exceeding all expectations. In just three days it has already sold sold at least 2.3 million in pure album sales in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music.
At that pace it will shatter the one week sales record of 2,416,000 set by NSYNC's 2000 album, "No Strings Attached."
Billboard now projects that it will sell 2.9 million copies by week's end.
The album puts Adele in the elite club of artists who have sold 1 million records in a week. Check out the full list via Billboard below.
