Adele's "21" sells more than 10 million copies

Excerpt:

The British songstress' album "21" has sold more than 10 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album reached that milestone last week, less than two years after its release. "21" is the 21st album to sell 10 million copies since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. Adele's sophomore studio album debuted in 2011 and featured such hits as "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain." It's the third album to reach the 10 million mark in 2012. Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory" and Usher's "Confessions" both crossed the 10 million mark earlier this year. Adele won in all six categories she was nominated in at the Grammys earlier this year, including album of the year. The 24-year-old also recorded the theme for the latest James Bond film, "Skyfall," and reportedly welcomed her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki last month.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
