After a very long break from the music scene, the 27 years old songstress, Adele, made a staggering come back with her new album '25' some few days back that shook the music world and made everyone pause for a while , receiving lot of media reviews and airplay. Artists jumping on the first track on the album 'Hello' making different covers of it couldn't be left unsaid as the track finds its way to number 3 in the UK singles chart .
The new album '25' is said to have gathered a massive sales of over 800,000 copies in its first week of release, which is the highest ever figure for a single UK chart week, also recording a sales of more than 100,000 downloads ever in one week.
