Adele's 25 makes UK chart history with 800,000 album sales

Image copyrightNBC/AP

Adele's new album 25 has sold more than 800,000 copies in its first week of release - the highest ever figure for a single UK chart week.

The album shifted more copies than the next 86 albums in the chart combined, and has become the first album to sell more than 100,000 downloads in a week.

In fact, 252,423 of the album's 800,307 sales were digital with the rest on CD.

Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot said: "The statistics surrounding the album are staggering."

He added: "No album has ever sold 800,000 copies to reach number one in the history of British music."

The previous record was held by Oasis's Be Here Now, which reached number one with sales of 696,000 in 1997. However that album only went on sale three days before the end of the chart week.

Adele's record-breaking sales

• Before this, no album had sold 100,000 copies in a single week this year. Adele's 25 has sold 800,307.
• That is more than the combined sales of the last 19 number one albums in the weeks they topped the chart.
• More than 300,000 people bought 25 on its first day of release.
• Ed Sheeran held the previous record for weekly digital album sales, with 95,709. Adele's 25 has eclipsed that with 252,423 downloads.
• 25 has reached double platinum status already.
• It still has some way to go to match the sales of Adele's last album 21, which is owned by 4.8 million people in the UK.

Martin Talbot said: "What the future holds for 25 will unfold over the coming weeks and months, of course - but we can all be absolutely sure that more records will be toppled as Adele fever grips the nation in the run-up to Christmas."

Adele's third album has also "has done the seemingly impossible", according to Billboard magazine, and sold more than three million in one week in the US.

That is the highest one-week US sales since data tracking began in 1991, overtaking the previous record of 2.4 million set by N'Sync's No Strings Attached in 2000.

The singer has also just announced her first tour since 2011, playing in arenas across Europe from next February.

το «ροζ παλάτι» του Μανχάταν που ανηκε στην αρχισυντάκτρια του Cosmopolitan 

Πρόκειται για το λεγόμενο «ροζ παλάτι», ένα διαμέρισμα στο Μανχάταν του οποίου η 

αξία κοστολογείται στα 20 εκατομμύρια δολάρια.

Σύμφωνα με την Daily Mail το πολυτελέστατο οίκημα διαθέτει διαθέτει τέσσερις

 ορόφους, τον 21ο, 22ο, 23ο και 24ο ενός κτιρίου και έχει θέα στο Σέντραλ Παρκ και τον

 ποταμό Χάντσον.

Και τα 9 δωμάτια της κατοικίας είναι σε τόνους του ροζ. Πρόκειται για το αγαπημένο

 χρώμα της αρχισυντάκτριας που απεβίωσε το 2012.

Τα ψηλά ταβάνια, οι συρόμενες πόρτες, τα μεγάλα τοξωτά παράθυρα και η

 εντυπωσιακή βιβλιοθήκη έχουν λάβει διθυραμβικά σχόλια από τους αρχιτέκτονες που

 χαρακτηρίζουν το ακίνητο ως το «καμάρι» του Μανχάταν.

Το σπίτι αγοράστηκε από την κυρία Μπράουν και τον σύζυγό της, παραγωγό

 ταινιών, το 1976.

 τα 25 νέα HOT στέκια που «διείσδυσαν» στην πόλη

Τακαρντάσια είναι πολύ µπροστά... Αυτό διαπιστώσαµε και φέτος όταν ανακαλύψαµε µία προς µία τις νέες αφίξεις που «διείσδυσαν» στην πόλη και µας συστήνουν τάσεις που δεν σηκώνουν αντιστάσεις... από τους ορίζοντες της γεύσης και της διασκέδασης µέχρι τον «πλανήτη» shopping!

Vanilla 

Αυτή η αυθεντική ιταλική τζελατερία ήταν η πιο «δροσερή» έκπληξη του φετινού καλοκαιριού στη Βογατσικού. Η αγάπη και η υψηλή τεχνογνωσία του ιδιοκτήτη της, Λουίζου Συμεωνίδη, στο ιταλικής σχολής παγωτό ήταν η αφορμή για να κάνει την άφιξή του ο γουστόζικος χώρος του Vanilla, και εμείς απολαμβάνουμε όλο το χρόνο 24 περίπου γεύσεις παγωτού βασισμένες σε εξαιρετικές πρώτες ύλες. Στην ίδια φιλοσοφία κινούνται και τα λιγοστά αλλά άκρως λαχταριστά γλυκά και μπισκότα, που συνοδεύουμε ιδανικά με καφέ και ροφήματα! Καθημερινά 10:00-22:00.

Από το πρωί η μέρα ξεκινά δυναμικά με περισσότερες από 20 προτάσεις βασισμένες σε ευφάνταστους συνδυασμούς φρούτων και λαχανικών, ενώ στον πειρασμό μας βάζουν και ακαταμάχητα milkshakes, smoothies, γιαούρτι, μπάρες δημητριακών, φρεσκοκοµµένες σαλάτες και sandwiches σε fair τιμές!

The Bastards Bar 

Στο ιστορικό κτήριο που στέγαζε το θρυλικό Monroe από τον Οκτώβριο κάνει θραύση το The Bastards Bar, που σύστησε ο δημοφιλής παρουσιαστής Γιώργος Μαυρίδης και ο επιχειρηματίας (του Monrοe) Δημήτρης Κουκουρίκης. Αυθεντικό rock bar που ξεσηκώνει τους clubbers της Θεσσαλονίκης... ξεφεύγοντας από τα καθιερωμένα, με ένα interior εμπνευσμένο από καθολικό μοναστήρι που «ξαναπαίρνει» ζωή μέσα από street art στοιχεία, δημιουργημένα και από τον Γιώργο Μαυρίδη.

Casper Bar

Έχοντας σχεδόν ένα χρόνο στο ενεργητικό του, μπορεί άνετα να υπερηφανεύεται ότι αποτελεί δημοφιλές στέκι στο νυχτερινό χάρτη της πόλης, αφού μας κρατά την πιο διασκεδαστική συντροφιά με κεφάτα ελληνικά ακούσματα, μουσικές από Djs, live τις Τρίτες με τον Ηλία Καμπακάκη και τις Κυριακές με τον Ηλία Βρεττό, σε έναν προσεγμένο χώρο, με friendly ατμόσφαιρα και μότο «Όλη η πόλη μια παρέα»!

Θέγια

Από το περασμένο καλοκαίρι, μοσχοβολάει ψωμί και άλλα φρεσκοψημένα καλούδια, ενώ δανείζεται την ονομασία του από τη Θεά Γη.

Charlie - Sip Of Vintage

Καθότι εμπνευσμένο από τον Charlie Chaplin, που γεννήθηκε στις 16 Απριλίου, δεν είναι τυχαίο που το ομώνυμο στέκι αφίχθη φέτος τη συγκεκριμένη ημερομηνία στον πεζόδρομο της Καλαποθάκη. Το αγαπάμε για το vintage ύφος που αποπνέει, τη φιλόξενη «ζεστασιά» του και το concept του, καθώς η διακόσμηση αλλά και η cocktail list είναι εμπνευσμένες από την εποχή της ποτοαπαγόρευσης. Ακόμα εδώ απολαμβάνουμε μια γκάμα με πάνω από 40 ετικέτες σε gin, καθώς και εκλεπτυσμένα συνοδευτικά. Καθημερινά 18:00-όσο πάει. (Καλαποθάκη 6, τηλ. 2316 007989 Charlie - sip of vintage)

WE 

Σε ένα ιστορικό κτήριο της πόλης, εγκαταλελειμμένο για χρόνια, η ομάδα του WE έδωσε το «φιλί της ζωής» τον Ιανουάριο του 2015, με στόχο να φιλοξενεί αθλητικές και πολιτιστικές δραστηριότητες υψηλών προδιαγραφών. Όμως, η προσπάθεια είχε ξεκινήσει ήδη από το 2011, με στόχο την προώθηση καινοτόμων υπηρεσιών, προϊόντων και εξοπλισμού και σημείο αναφοράς την πανελλαδική αποκλειστικότητα του προσομοιωτή χιονοδρομίας Maxxtracks BV. Έτσι, στο WE μαθαίνουμε ski και snowboard με τη βοήθεια του προσομοιωτή, αναρρίχηση τύπου boulder και άλλα αθλήματα. Την ίδια στιγμή, στον ενιαίο χώρο πραγματοποιούνται συναυλίες, πάρτι και διάφορα καλλιτεχνικά δρώμενα, ενώ για το διάλειμμά μας ιδανικό είναι το café-bar του. (Λεωφ. 3ης Σεπτεμβρίου & Γρ.
