It’s the album that rocked the year in more ways than one. From sales to digital strategy, British singer Adele is taking center stage in the music industry.

2015 was a largely uneventful year for music sales and then British songstress Adele came out with her latest album. Called “25”, it was casually released at the end of the year and still it has been breaking records for the biggest sales week in U.S. history.

Despite digital music becoming a game-changer for the music industry, Adele chose not to stream her full album.

CCTV’s Rachelle Akuffo reports from Washington.
