Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Pentatonix's 'That's Christmas to Me' Surpasses 2 Million Sold in U.S.
By Keith Caulfield | December 30, 2016 7:34 AM EST

— Adele, 21 - No. 81 — The diva’s second album -- and former No. 1 -- jumps back into the top 100, rising 103-81 (13,000 units; up 37 percent), for a 247th nonconsecutive week in the top 100. That’s the second-most weeks within the top 100 since 1963, when the chart combined its former separate stereo and mono albums charts into one overall ranking. The album with the most weeks in the top 100 is Metallica’s self-titled album, with 269 weeks in the region.


The massiveness of this album!

Her achievements are honestly incredible.

Seems like 21 will never die.

And next week it will pass 5 million sold copies in UK
Only the 4th album ever, only 2nd studio album and FIRST solo artist album.

Queen.

it's coming for the record, only 22 more weeks, she'll get at least another 10 next album she releases

She'll snatch the record for top 100

We got to live through this legendary era

It's her Magnum Opus. I listen to it more than 21 and 19.

And i remember someone said in a thread that Pentatonix's Christmas wasn't gonna sell **** They're insane

Metallica's Black Album still reaches the Top 100 on a regular basis too. It was of course released 20 years prior to 21. Adele may eventually overtake Metallica, but the metal band won't go down without a fight. I like both artists, so I'm glad both are sharing virtually unprecedented longevity.

However, had the BB 200 rules allowing catalog albums to continuously chart been in place all along, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon would actually hold the record, given its 800+ weeks on the BB 200. Floyd would probably have well over 300 T 100 weeks, maybe even 350+. That album has been on and off the BB 200 for the last 40 years.

She should get at least another week for the Grammys and during her next LP release, depending on how it performs, should get the record.

Another day, another slay.

Only a Queen

I doubt we've seen the last of Metallica in the top 100 though, and they're less likely to need current promotion/achievements to give a boost to the album. Adele may very well get a boost for the Grammy's and whenever her next LP drops, but Metallica are just as likely to get similar boosts for no apparent reason

I dont think Metallica will ever be beaten in this department but what company!

I'd say it's all but given she'll end up claiming the record herself.
