ADELE DESTROYS BEYONCE & TAYLOR SWIFT'S ITUNES RECORD

Adele is breaking all sorts of records with her new album, 25 – and her latest feat takes a title away from someone she loves: Beyoncé.

The English singer-songwriter, 27, has dethroned Queen Bey, 34, as the artist with the fastest selling album in iTunes history.

Billboard reports that 25 sold in excess of 900,000 copies via Apple's music service within the first day of its release on Friday. The figure tops the 617,000 copies purchased within the first three days of sales for Beyoncé's unannounced, self-titled visual album in 2013.

Taylor Swift, 25, previously held the record thanks to her 2012 album Red, which reportedly sold 465,000 copies in its first week.

Adele has been adamant about her appreciation for both of her fellow singers.

"There's a rumor going around that I turned Beyoncé down, which I would never be so disrespectful as to do," the singer told Beats 1's Zane Lowe this month, shutting down speculation over a duet. "I'd never disrespect her like that."

She added, "I'm such a fan, oh my God."
