Adele's "Hello" Broke Pretty Much Every Digital Music Record

A million downloads in a week, for starters.

By now, you've probably heard Adele's "Hello."

Bought, not streamed. That means "Hello" is, by far, the fastest-selling digital record of all time.

Second place? "Right Round," by Flo Rida.

It took about six and a half years for this (awful) song to lose its spot at the top. But "Hello" didn't just unseat Flo Rida's track, it demolished it. With "Hello" Adele nearly doubled Flo Rida's 636,000 first week digital sales, Billboard reports.

"Hello" is also the 24th song to ever debut at number one on the Billboard charts.
