'25' Sets Highest Sales Record in Less a Week; Adele Announces European Tour

Indeed, there is no stopping Adele.

"25," her most recent album, has been shattering records left and right and now, its sales has surged to more than 3 million copies in the United States alone and that is barely a week after it was released. Billboard reports that Neilsen Music officially shared the report. What's more impressive with Adele's feat is that the tracking week is not even over yet.

"25" is Adele's third studio album and was released XL/Columbia Records on Nov. 20. Everybody is waiting with bated breath as to how high the album's sale will go. Billboard will report 25's debut week sales on Sunday, Nov. 29, once Nielsen gets done processing its sales data for the week.

In related news, Adele has announced, via her own Facebook page, a 36-date European tour. She made the announcement in the most magical way possible, by impersonating the "Boy Who Lived," Harry Potter while reading a weather forecast.
