TOP 15: ADELE!
(AND OTHERS)

With Thanksgiving on Thursday and many Black Friday sales starting early, the numbers below could change somewhat when we post on Friday. Here’s what won’t change: Adele’s new record is FUCKING HUGE. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber holds up very well in week two—suggesting a healthy holiday season—and Pentatonix move into the Top 5 with their holiday release, That’s Christmas To Me.
