Can you handle the hot heat rising? On Tuesday, it was reported that Adele’s 25 had broken the single-week sales record previously held by *NSYNC’s No Strings Attached, which sold 2.416 million in the U.S. when it was released in March 2000. Just two days later, Billboard reports that 25 has surpassed 3 million in sales. When Adele’s highly anticipated third outing wasreleased last week, there was no doubt that it would be the highest-selling of the year.
