Adele 2016 Tour Unveiled à La ‘Harry Potter’ As ’25’ Tops Sales & Album Download List: Why U.S. Fans Wail

Adele announced her 2016 tour by borrowing from Harry Potter. While Adele even had a magic wand to wave in making her 2016 tour announcement, she bummed out some fans in the United States by planning the tour for Europe only, reported E! News.

That means her fans in America need to hop on a plane if they want to watch Adele perform live on her 2016 tour. Adele certainly isn’t lacking fans after getting many a “wow” for her return. “Hello” is receiving praise as a highly-regarded single while the 27-year-old’s album, 25, is soaring to the top of the charts.

To unveil the plans for live concerts, Adele created a video that used a Harry Potter wand to promise magic for her 2016 tour. Just to make sure fans felt that they had something to be thankful for, the singer chose Thanksgiving Day to reveal her tour plans.

More than four years have passed since Adele performed in a concert series, so fans were even more jazzed when they learned that the singer has planned for 36 tour dates. The first concert will take place on February 29, 2016 in Northern Ireland.

Adele chose Facebook to make her announcement via a video, with Harry Potter’s wand helping her make the point.

“Hello, it’s me,” said the singer. “I have been bluffing this whole time and I’m so relieved to finally tell you that I am, of course, coming on tour and I can’t wait to see all of you there, so see you all very, very soon! It’s hard work being Harry Potter!”

Many of Adele’s followers in the United States weren’t so thrilled when they realized the singer had no announcements for a 2016 tour in America. They took their sorrow to Twitter.

However, Adele has no sorrows when it comes to her new album, reported Billboard.

When it comes to U.K. charts, Adele’s new album, 25, received the greatest opening sales week ever. In addition, her album has earned the ultimate download position as the most downloaded number one album in history.

Sales of Adele’s album soared to 800,307 copies for the week. Almost 70 percent of those sales were physical, and 25 received double platinum certification from the BPI, the trade association for the British recorded music industry.

As for the disappointment that Adele did not reveal any 2016 tour dates in the United States as of yet, the schedule is open when it comes to dates that coincide with Coachella. The possibility Adele could headline Coachella still exists, pointed out the Los Angeles Times.

Overall, the latest sales numbers show that in its first week, Adele’s 25 album sold over 2.8 million copies. Prior to Adele’s success, *NSYNC was the leader of the first week sales pack. In 2000, *NSYNC succeeded with 2.4 million copies for No Strings Attached.
