First off, major congrats to Adele - "21" has now equalled "Thriller" in both the US and the UK on its original release (78 weeks in US Top 10, 76 weeks in UK Top 10).

She is breaking the record for non-interrupted top 10 run as far as i know, as opposed to overall top 10 run when albums drop in and out of top 10.

Not true unfortunately - Born In The USA spent 84 consecutive weeks in the top 10 from debut.

Again that's not true about TSOM. I assume you're thinking about Billboard's mono and stereo charts but those ended in the early 60s so all of TSOM's weeks were on the single chart, BB200.
However, I agree with you in a way - soundtracks don't count for comparison purposes as they're not associated with any particular artist - so I will consider Adele the record holder if she passes The Boss (another 7 weeks - still in the balance as to whether this will happen as that's almost another 2 months, although I'm encouraged by the slight rise in her sales this week...)
Mediatraffic has it at 68M, so I'll just go with that.
Hopefully..
