Adele is currently 5x platinum. With the holidays right around the corner (boosting sales) then the Grammy Awards (where she'll obviously sweep -again boosting sales) where will 21 peak?

8 million? 9 million? Will she go Diamond?

Take your guesses.

The farthest she can go is around 7-7.5M.

Right now I'm seeing about 7 million by January, then possibly Diamond after the Grammys. Who knows but it's a good guess... she could also end up having the best-selling album of all time in the UK.

She's at 4.7M sold, so she'd need to be selling 500k+/week to get to 7M by January. She is selling about 140k/week right now. Sales will be dead after January, but will pick back up after the Grammy awards. She has two singles left in the album, but I see this topping out at about 7M.

the grammys do not play a part like they did, obviously she will win and there' gonna be a huge boost, but its a 1-2 week thing nowadays, so unless she is going to do 1million weeks at that point i dont see this happening but 7 is a safe guess i dont see diamond status think those days in this country are over.

Worldwide she's over 12 million. I could see her settling around 15 million, to be honest.

This is a great success in our time. I think after a few months, Adele will come close to the top 10 best selling albums of the 21st century. And after a while it is possible to enter the top 10.
