"In its first week it outsold the rest of the top 500 combined and became the fastest-selling album ever by a male artist."

That's because youngsters don't buy albums anymore, just shows the lack of sales in 'the top 500'. They just download it for free or get their music on streaming sites.

'Fastest selling album' because anyone in the world who is likely to actually to want to buy it will do so in the first 24 hours of release. After that it's just out there totally free for the taking, no real value anymore.

'Fastest selling' not 'biggest selling'
