Adele’s Hello Sets A New Record

Following Carrie Underwood makes history with all 6 albums topping the country albums chart with Storyteller, debuting at number 1, Adele has set a new record for Hello.

In fact, Hello’s music video broke the previous Vevo Record by achieving over 27.7 million views within a 24-hour period, held previously by Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood which accumulated 20.1 million views in the timeframe. Then the music video has continued to break Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball Vevo record for the fastest video to reach 100 million views in 5 days.

Thus, the phrase Adele hello was also the top YouTube search term of Friday and Saturday, and on average the video was getting one million views her hour during the first 2 days, peaking at 1.6 million in a single hour, beating the peak view rate of the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which peaked at 1.2 million views per hour. But wait, that’s not all.

During the impact, following the US sales of Hello, Adele was described as having a widespread appeal as well as unbelievable popularity. According to Forbes Magazine, Hugh McIntyre called the songs sales “important”, stating that “Hello was able to smash a sales record in a time when nobody is buying music anymore. The ten biggest debut sales weeks are all from the past 6 years, as the adoption of purchasing singles on ITunes and other online storefronts has lead to some pretty incredible first week numbers for big stars, but all of that is changing. Streaming has become the go-to way for millions of people to listen to music, and in the past few years, the total number of paid downloads (of both albums and singles) has dipped. The fact that she was able to move so many units in just 7 days speaks volumes.”

Because of this, Hello entered at the top of the Digital Songs chart with the sales of 1,112,000, becoming the first tracks to digitally sell one million copies and almost doubling the record for the most downloads sold in a week, previously held by Flo Rida’s Right Round, which sold 636,000 downloads in a week ending February 28, 2009. Hello started with 61.6 million US streams, becoming her first number-one song and the second greatest weekly total on the Streaming Songs chart, behind Baauer’s Harlem Shake, which registered 103 million streams on week of March 3, 2013.

This makes Hello, Adele’s fourth number-one single on the Hots 100 and the first leader by a female artist in 22 weeks, since Taylor Swift’ Bad Blood topped the chart on June 6, 2015. Hello has entered at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated November 14, 2015 on November 2, 2015. Hello becomes the only 24th song to debut at number one.

Congratulations, Adele. Hello is an excellent song. Much better than Justin Bieber's stupid What Do You Mean? song. I hate Justin Bieber. With Adele setting a big new record, if only real mainstream music like rock music and Jewel could've been big as Adele would. That would've been great if this happens. That's way, rock music like Pop Evil will follow Adele's footsteps.
