TAYLOR SWIFT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BUY HER NEW ALBUM

In the last decade, Adele has given Swift, who is 31, a run for her money with the British songstress having been honored with the top-selling album title three times.

However, to be fair, two of those honors were from Adele’s sophomore album “21,” which was a top seller in both 2011 and 2012. Adele’s third top seller came in 2015 with her album “25.”
