Adele Breaks First-Week Sales Record

NEW YORK (AP) — The record held by ‘N Sync has just gone down. ‘N Sync’s “No Strings Attached” album held the all-time record for most sales in a week with 2.416 million in March 2000. Adele’s “25” has sold 2.433 million in four days, according to Nielsen Music. Final sales numbers for the week will be revealed on Sunday. ‘N Sync singer JC Chasez tells Billboard magazine it was flattering to hold the record but the success of “25” ”proves that emotion and art are alive and well in music today.” Bandmate Joey Fatone says, “I even bought the damn album.”
