Adele has officially sold the most albums in a week in Nielsen Music history. The beloved UK singer moved a whopping 3.38 million copies of 25 since its Nov. 20 release, edging out all other releases in the tracking’s history since 1991, Billboard reports.

Adele was already projected to top NSYNC’s record of 2.42 million copies in its first week. 25 has also beat out Taylor Swift for the best-selling album of 2015; Swift’s 1989 previously held the crown at 1.8 million copies. The singer penned a thank you note to her fans after the album’s release.

25 will sit atop the Billboard 100. This is Adele’s second time topping the chart.
