Adele is breaking records left to right with her new single, “Hello.” After it was revealed that the UK songstress is on pace to move over a million units of the album “Hello” will live on, 25, now the official first-week sales of the song are in, and they’re also in the 7-figure range! “Hello” kicked off with a whopping 1,112,000 downloads – completely killing the record for most downloads sold in a week, previously held by Flo Rida’s “Right Round” at 636k in February 2009. The song also got an impressive 61.6 million streams in the U.S., becoming the second highest number ever since streaming began being counted in March of 2013. (That record still belongs to Baauer’s “Harlem Shake,” which peaked with 103 million – mainly because of all of the fan clips made dancing to the song.) 25 hits stores November 20.
