The tally gives Adele the biggest opening week for a No. 1 UK single in three years, dating back to James Arthur's X Factor winner's single "Impossible" (490,000 sales) in December of 2012.
The singer also beat the previous streaming record held by Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean?", which recorded 3.87 million streams in a single week last month.
"Hello" is the lead single from Adele's long-awaited third album, "25", which was produced by Greg Kurstin and is due November 20. Watch the video for the song here.
After the event, Bieber took to his Instagram to explain. "Sadly it's Been a rough week for me, long days no sleep, while having to be 'on' as they would say for cameras fans etc," he said in a post to Instagram.
Biebs was using a shirt to wipe water from the stage when his fans in the front row grabbed at the shirt he was using to clean the mess. "I just need you guys to get warmed up. Yo, what are you doing�Yo listen to me, are you listening to me? OK I'm trying to wipe the floor, give me a second yo," Bieber said to the overzealous fans before storming off stage. "Guys, never mind, I'm done. I'm not doing the show."
Bieber's explanation revealed his "human" side. "In no way did I mean to come across mean, but chose to end the show as the people in the front row would not listen," he said. "Hopefully people will understand where I am coming from. I don't always handle things the right way but I'm human and I'm working on getting better at responding not reacting. Unfortunately people were affected by this as am I. For the people in the back I am so sorry and for anyone I may have disappointed im sorry. Sorry for wasting the tv people's time I'll be sure to make it up to you next time on tour.. With love Justin."
Check out the video of the incident, posted by @JBEmpire on Twitter, and Justin's Instagram post here.
While there's no mention of the band or the album's title on the poster, fans already believe this is the long-awaited announcement. Related: Coldplay Announce New Album 'A Head Full of Dreams,' Say It's Their 'Final' One
The enigmatic poster shows a colorful 'flower of life' design with "December 4" listed below. So what makes this a Coldplay advertisement and not something else? The design mirrors one Chris Martin wore at a recent Festival appearance by the band.
Atlas Project, a dedicated Coldplay news site, confirmed the similarity, posting a side-by-side photo of Martin's t-shirt with the tube advertisement on Instagram. Read more and see the posts here.
The pair got into the spirit of the Halloween season, with Swift dressed as Olaf the Snowman from "Frozen" while Menzel portrayed Elsa the Snow Queen.
"Frozen totally happened tonight," posted Swift. "And 55,000 people sang 'Let it Go' so loudly, it nearly took my breath away." Swift's concert at Raymond James Stadium marked the final date of her North American tour in support of "1989."
The pop superstar will enjoy a week off before resuming her world tour in Singapore on November 7. Watch video of the Halloween performance here.
The music video for the clip finds a platinum blonde Grande dancing on a sort of "Hotline Bling"-ish set with lots of neon pastel colors and even a cube.
However, as an able dancer, she is unable to mimic Drake's fairly ridiculous moves. Which hasn't seemed to slow it down: it's been viewed over a million times since being posted just a few hours ago. Will it be as meme-d as "Hotline Bling"? Time will tell. Watch the video here.
Billboard reports the group's second straight chart-topper sold 192,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, including 179,000 pure album sales.
The project was led by the summertime single, "She's Kinda Hot", which peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The latest single from "Sounds Good Feels Good" is "Hey Everybody", which the group performed recently on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Read more here.
Goulding also released a moving live performance of the song, recorded and filmed at Abbey Road Studios. Performing with an orchestra accompaniment, Goulding's vocals take a softer approach, exposing a more vulnerable side to the song's already powerful refrain.
Earlier this year, when she was working on her album, Goulding shared photos on Instagram of her recording at Abbey Road Studio. Today, brings those moments full circle. Watch the clip here.
"I shouldn't really be doing this but!" he tweeted, along with a video of himself singing along with the track."Please believe me, don't you see the things you mean to me, oh, I love you, I love you, I love, I love, I love Olivia," goes the brief snippet.
Payne followed that tweet with something less expected, a video of him singing along to Travis' 1999 single "Why Does It Always Rain On Me". See the posts here.
The ominous video features Scott and West in a misty woods wearing hoods and cloaks, the grave they discover is a mass one. That mystery man in the mask, it's Mos Def.
Nabil Elderkin directed the clip, he was worked with everyone from The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, John Legend, and of course Kanye on "Coldest Winter," "Welcome to Heartbreak," and "Paranoid". Watch it here.
The singer also joined the host for an interview, where she presented Fallon with a Confident tour jacket. Lovato's fifth album, "Confident" recently debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 98,000 copies.
The pop star is teaming up with Nick Jonas for The Future Now tour, which will see the pair perform across North America next summer. The 44-date, 3-month trek opens in Sunrise, FL on June 24, with shows scheduled to wrap up in Los Angeles on September 17.
The 2016 run marks Jonas and Lovato's sixth tour together and first since the pair formed a new record label called Safehouse. Watch video from the Fallon appearance here.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Becky G will play the Yellow Ranger in the action film that follows a group of teens who harness their unique superpowers to save the world. She rounds out the cast of Rangers, which also includes Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin and Dacre Montgomery.
The 18-year-old singer, who was born Rebecca Marie Gomez, released her latest song over the summer titled 'Break a Sweat." She currently plays the recurring role of "Valentina Galindo" on the Fox show Empire, opposite Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. Read more here.
Radio.com recently spoke with the group members about the show, and - of course - they said they were looking forward to the event and are proud to perform for our Veterans and their families.
Reid Perry said, "Well, for us, it is a big deal to support the troops. And not just the troops, but their families as well. They're overseas fighting, but the families at home are sacrificing a lot as well. They're sacrificing memories and a lot of years that they'll never get back."
Kimberly Perry added, "Yeah, it's our way of saying thank you. We're truly honored to be a part of the night. We're so grateful for our troops and their families too."
Reid noted that members of their family have also served: "Family members from our grandparents' generation served in World War II. We also have fans who have served, and some of them have told us how our songs have helped them through that."
And Kimberly points out that this is far from the first time that they're performing for our troops: "We've also done several USO events which have been hugely rewarding. It's really cool - we did one outside of London on a military base, and it was great to see the American spirit going crazy, even overseas."
The stripped down acoustic concert will pay tribute to those who currently serve or have previously served in our armed forces, and their families. Read more here.
In this alternative ending, posted on the Google Play app, which offers unique 360 views, viewers actually get to see what went down between Rih Rih and her naughty accountant.
The video offers up some seriously twisted POV shots, as Rihanna stabs her accountant and watches him bleed out. This certainly gives new meaning to that old turn of phrase, "Trick or treat?" Watch the 360 version here.
In the mashup parody video, Corden plays Chewbacca, pining for his old friend Han Solo, played by Eichner. The clip mimics Adele's somber black and white music video, and even pokes fun at her cell phone.
Many have noted that Adele uses a dated flip phone in her new video, Corden takes it step further. You can watch the drama unfold in the parody clip here.
Bieber appeared on The Diego Show, and was interviewed by the titular wife hating puppet Digeo. "My wife is crazy, says the puppet, "she checks my phone like every day."
Bieber offers sage advice. "You've gotta be conscious if you're gonna message someone, just delete the message, or be good, you know, if you love your wife don't mess around."
There is also a Robert De Niro facial impression. Watch it here.
