ADELE's "21" back to Top 10 in USA for the 81 week!
Quote:
Jumping four slots to No. 10 is Adele's "21," selling 27,000 with a gain of 17%. While the album doesn't feature her Academy Award-winning song "Skyfall," the set clearly benefits from Adele's performance of the tune on the Oscars (Feb. 24). This is the two-year old album's first time back in the top 10 since the Nov. 3, 2012 chart, when it ranked at No. 9.
As for the song "Skyfall," after a full week of impact post-Oscars, the song charges 32-10 on the Digital Songs chart, selling 105,000 downloads in the week ending March 3 (up 88%). The title song of the James Bond film logs its best sales week since the tally dated Dec. 1, 2012 (120,000) -- reflecting the first full week "Skyfall" was in U.S. theaters.
Adele's performance on the Academy Awards was her first on TV -- or anywhere -- in over a year. She last sang on stage during the BRIT Awards on Feb. 21, 2012.
