ADELE'S COMEBACK ALBUM 25 BREAKS US RECORDS ...

Adele's comeback album - 25 - has sold a record-breaking 3.38 million copies in its first week on sale in the US, according to Nielsen Music data.

The British star notched up the largest single sales week for an album since Nielsen began monitoring sales in 1991.

25 - released on 20 November - has also become the first album to sell more than three million copies in a week.

In Britain, 25 similarly broke records for the highest number of albums sold in a single week of the UK charts.

The album shifted more than 800,000 copies in its first week of release in the UK - more copies than the next 86 albums in the charts combined.


In the US, 25 is already the biggest selling album of 2015, surpassing the 1.8 million copies sold of Taylor Swift's 1989.
