- New Adele Album '30' is Released on 19th November
- Bookmakers give the Album a 90% chance of Being the Number One Album in the Charts at Christmas
- To become Adeles best selling Album to date has betting odds of just 1/3
- And betting sites even go as short as 5/2, or a 66% chance it will be the UK best selling album ever
Adele's new album has a lot to live up to. Previous albums have all coincided with her ages, and we have listened to 19, 21 and 25 whilst they have sold multi-millions of copies.
5 years later we are being treated to 30, which one might presume will be a more mature release with more life experience to pour into the lyrics.
Either way, betting sites are hugely confident that this long-awaited 4th Studio album will deliver on so many levels, they are offering betting on a range of markets which include if wit will be No1 at Christmas, if it will be the artistes biggest selling album to date and even if it could outsell the biggest ever selling UK album.

Biggest for Adele
It is no secret that Adele has made her fortune by writing and releasing some of the most popular albums of all time.
From a worldwide perspective, she has sold nearly 91 million copies of her three studio albums, 19, 21 and 25 to date. An average of 30 million sales for each is a quite phenomenal figure.
Both 21 and 25 are in the top 20 UK album sales of all time, with 21, now 17 x platinum and just a couple of hundred thousand copied behind the Beatles Sgt Peppers classic which has been on sale for some 43 years longer!!
Biggest UK Album of all Time
Given Adele is already in 4th position in the biggest selling albums of all time with her release 21, bookmakers are being cautious in offering odds on the new '30' to not only surpass 21, but also become the biggest selling album in the UK for all time
