The British singer broke the fifteen year record set by *NSYNC's 2000 album No Strings Attached, which moved 2.413 million. The members of the boy band congratulated her publicly on her massive accomplishment.
Joey Fatone spoke to Billboard about Adele breaking Nsync's longstanding record, "Records are always meant to be broken, but with technology and current business model, I thought this one would be tough to beat. In all honesty, Adele is the truth - kinda excited a rare talent like hers is in the same breath as our group. I'm a huge fan�.I even bought the damn album."
JC Chasez posted a tweet, "Well done Adele." Chris Kirkpatrick retweeted an article announcing the news. Lance Bass responded with a funny tweet. We'll have to wait and see what Justin Timberlake says.

Wearing a body-hugging dress, the 18-year-old reality star tells DeGeneres people are totally wrong about her relationship with the 26-year-old Tyga. Kylie says, "We're not broken up. We just, honestly, we became best friends before anything happened so I think that's awesome. And we're just like, I don't know, hanging out."
With a comment like that, Jenner leaves a lot of room for people to speculate and draw their own conclusions. Kylie might have played coy answering about her relationship status, but she did admit Tyga did buy her a Ferrari as a birthday gift for her 18th birthday. Jenner said she drove the car to the Ellen taping. In true comedic fashion, Ellen urged Kylie to stay with Tyga because of the expensive gift. "I mean stay with him. He bought you a car!" Ellen said.

The precise cost of the album was not revealed but according to Paddle8, it will be "in the millions" making it the most expensive single album sold. Fans won't get to hear the music because there is an 88-year waiting period before it can be shared with the public.
'The Wu-Tang Clan have always been driven by innovation, and this marks another moment in musical history," said Wu-Tang cofounder RZA in the statement (via Forbes). 'From the beginning, we hoped that this concept would inspire debate and new ways of seeing creativity. Both of those goals have been achieved, and the ideas continue to evolve."
Back in March, Wu-Tang shared the news that they had been secretly working on the double-album, but confounded fans when they announced that there would only be a single copy of the album produced for one collector. Read more here.
'The Christmas album was a very special album for me," said Black in a prepared statement. '[December] is really the only time of year that I can play these songs for people, so I feel compelled to get out there and play!"
The tour will be kicking off on December 1st at The Villages, Florida at the Sharon L. Morse PAC and concluding on December 20 in The Woodlands, Texas at the Dosey Doe. See all of the dates here.
Then Ballerini welcomed singer-songwriter Tori Kelly to join her on the stage to sing the pop star's "Should've Been Us" from her 2015 album Unbreakable Smile.
"There's been an incredible amount of incredible artists that have come up the last few years and I'm about to bring one out that is one of my favorite artists ever," Ballerini introduced Kelly. "She is the kindest and most talented and effortlessly confident people I've ever met in my life." Watch it here.
"Everybody Say" is a close to seven minute song about cliches people tell themselves and others. Nas protege Dave East boasts about once having to ride the 6 train and now he's riding in an expensive car with Trey Songz.
Trey's confidence in his sexual prowess is on full display on "Walls." He gets explicit giving a detailed account of how he pleases his partner. Think of this as a much dirtier version to his previous hit "I Invented Sex." He sings to a woman on the KE production, "She said she like it when I'm nasty. So I'ma give her what she asked for."
These tracks are the first from Trey in about a year. He had a Top 30 hit with "Slow Motion" and re-released his 2014 project Trigga, which received positive reviews. Check out his new material here.
The sweaters retail between $30.00 and $34.99 and come in several different colors. If rap-inspired Christmas sweaters are your thing, you can also check out Drake's "Hotline Bling" sweater, which brings to life one of the Canadian rapper's famous moves from the video. U
nlike 2 Chainz, Drake had nothing to do with designing or producing the sweaters besides providing bad-dance-move inspiration.In addition to announcing his sweater line, 2 Chainz also released the music video for "BFF," which also features Jeezy. Read more here.
"Girls are ruling the charts like never before, so it feels like a great time to be a woman in pop," she says in the documentary's intro. "The F word-that's feminism-is everywhere."
In part, the documentary aims to dissect whether "the male-dominated music industry" has really changed to include women, and why women's bodies are "under more scrutiny than ever."
"I make my own decisions--good and bad--and that's what feminism's all about," Charli XCX says at the documentary's end. Read more and watch it here.
In that time, YG has come a long way, including a near fatal shooting on June 12 that pierced his hip and groin. The incident made things more difficult for the rapper, who had to hire a bodyguard in the aftermath, and found that industry executives began giving him the cold shoulder.
Speaking about the shooting, he says, 'That was some inside type, somebody-was-really-coming-to-get-me type s-. It was like n-as knew where we was at, and they was coming to do what they was supposed to do." Read more here.
"It shocked us when (2013's) Dirt Road Driveway debuted at Number One -- we kept thinking, 'People are going to wake up and figure out that they're following the wrong guy!' But no one wants to take a step back, so this time there's some pressure, and I embrace that, because it means you have a good business rolling."
The single was inspired by Smith's life on the road. "We have toured like crazy, and have seen so much of the country," says Smith. "We see all kinds of back roads now, coast to coast, it's a part of our everyday lives, me and the band and the crew."
"It's ingrained in who I am, it's what I am," says Granger. "When I think about music, I'm thinking about songs about back roads." Read more here.
