The wait is over: Adele‘s 25 is finally here, but what will its lasting legacy be?
Sources predicted to Billboard that 25 could sell 2.5 million units (1.5 million physical albums and 1 million downloads), which would beat *NSYNC‘s record for a single week (the 2000 album No Strings Attached holds the current record with 2.415 million sold).

It’s highly likely 25 will easily debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, but how many weeks will she reign?
