— Adele, 21 - No. 79 — Excitement generated by the release of Adele’s new single “Hello” helps draw attention to her previous album, 21, which vaults 114-79 on the latest Billboard 200 — its highest rank in more than a year. The set last ranked higher on the May 24, 2014-dated chart, when it was No. 69.

21 also returns to the top 100 for the first time since May 30, marking its 191st week within the region. Since Nielsen Music began powering the list’s ranking on May 25, 1991, only one album has spent more time in the top 100: Metallica’s self-titled set, with 232 weeks.

Most consecutive T100 weeks is Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift though. Longevity and consistency!

It's not Adele's record. It's Metallica's.

Nice try, Jan.

Speaking of longevity, Her first 2 albums are currently still at more weeks than 21 on the chart.

Damn. Everybody Talks at #6.

I think it partly has to do with streaming not being included in the chart back then. Rhythmic and urban songs have always benefited from streaming more than others, and pop radio was leaning towards HAC rather than toward rhythmic (as it is right now).
