21 GOES FOR 21: After debuting at #1 on today’s HITS’ Album sales chart, XL/Columbia recording artist Adele’s 21 will have its best sales week yet next Tuesday (2/21), the one-year anniversary of the album's release.
Early indicators suggest the six-time Grammy winner, in her 52nd week on the chart, will blow past the 399k she achieved during Christmas week 2011. This will also be her 21st week at #1, setting a new record for the Soundscan era and tying MC Hammer's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, which logged a pre-Soundscan tally of 21 weeks. Next up are the soundtracks for Purple Rain and Saturday Night Fever, each of which held the #1 spot for 24 weeks in 1984-85 and 1978, respectively. Meanwhile, the British tabloids claim the U.K. songbird wants to take a five-year break from her career to spend more time with her Grammy companion, beau Simon Konecki. (2/14p)
