Adele's Hello becomes fastest selling single in 18 years

The record breaking act can add yet another
feather to her cap as her nostalgic single 'Hello'
sold 480K digital copies in America in its third
week of release. The first single from her
upcoming album, entitled 25, is the first song to
top 400K sales in each of its first three weeks
since Elton John's Candle in the Wind, which was
released in 1997 as a tribute to the late Princess
Diana, making it the fastest-selling single in 18
years.
Adele likened her success to Kim Kardashian's
Paper magazine shoot which attempted to break
the internet, speaking to stalk.com, she said: 'I
did a Kim Kardashian. Thank God it wasn't with
my a**. It would've actually broke the Internet if
it was my bum!'
