Adele's new album 30 had the biggest opening week of any record released in 2021, but it was also 75 per cent less than her previous album's first week of release.

The singer, 33, thrilled fans and critics alike with 30 which reportedly sold 838,000 copies in its first week, mostly from CDs and downloads.

While this gives Adele the biggest opening week of any album of the year, it's a drop from the 3.8 million copies she sold of 25 when it was released in November 2015.

Sales: Adele's new album 30 had the biggest opening week of any record released in 2021, but it was also 75 per cent less than her previous album's first week of release.

According to MCR Data, album sales in the US alone went from 507 million units sold in 2007 to 102 million by 2020, with a decline seen each year in between.

And on Friday, Adele's Easy on Me duet with Chris Stapleton landed on the Country Airplay after its mainstream debut on the Billboard Hot 100 - a move which meant she was described as an 'artist who transcends format.' .

Record: While this gives Adele the biggest opening week of any album of the year, it's a drop from the 3.8 million copies she sold of 25 when it was released in November 2015.

The singer's track from her fourth studio album 30 has landed on the Country Airplay just weeks after its mainstream debut on the Billboard Hot 100, making crossover history for the star in the process

The multi-Grammy Award winning artist now has a Billboard portfolio which boasts entries on : Adult Alternative Airplay, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay, Alternative Airplay, Country Airplay, Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Latin Airplay, Latin Pop Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Pop Airplay, Radio Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Rhythmic Airplay, Rock & Alternative Airplay, Smooth Jazz Airplay and Tropical Airplay

Changing industry: The dip could partly be due to the decrease in album sales in general over the last several years as listeners turn to streaming
