After only three days, Adele's new album '30' has become the best-selling record in the United States in 2021. According to Billboard, more than 500,000 copies of the singer's fourth studio album were sold between November 19 and 21. She's already outsold Taylor Swift's next album 'Evermore,' which had 462,000 copies sold as of last week. Adele also beat Taylor Swift's 'Red (Taylor's Version)' to the best sales week of 2021, selling 369,000 copies in its first week.

"This heartbreaking amount of honesty means that, despite its more experimental moments, '30' still winds up feeling like hallmark Adele, in its own way, most of the time," NME noted in a three-star review of the album. And, after being accused of playing it safe musically in the past, it's refreshing to see the pop icon taking risks – even if the results aren't always positive."
