Adele's third studio album "25" was only released last month, and it's already broken sales records, topped charts and become the best-selling album of 2015, all without streaming on any services. We hadn't seen much of Adele over the past five years since she toured for her second album "21," but she has now announced the North American dates for her upcoming 2016 tour, and all is right in the world again.
On Monday morning, the 25-year-old singer simply tweeted, "And of course..." with a link to her website and the full list of the 56 upcoming tour dates.
The tour will begin on July 5 in St. Paul, Minn., and will run go until Nov. 15 in Mexico City. Six nights of the tour will be spent at Staples Center in L.A. in August and another six nights will be at Madison Square Garden in New York in September.
Recently, Adele filmed "Adele Live in New York City," which will air on NBC on Monday Dec. 14, according to Us Weekly. This was her first full concert in four years.
Not only has "25" remained at the top spot since its November release, but it has already sold more than 5 million copies in the three weeks it has been out. It was the first album to ever sell one million copies two weeks in a row and the first album to sell more than three million copies in a week, according to Entertainment Tonight. It also shattered records for selling the most records in a single week, with 3.38 copies being sold in the U.S., beating out *NSYNC's previous single-week sales record from 2000, and she did it in just three days.
As if all of this wasn't exciting enough, it was also the best first-week sales ever for a female artist, beating out Britney Spears, who held the record for the past 15 years. The album's hit single "Hello" was the first single to sell one million copies in a week, and this was before the album was even released.
