Adele got some stiff competition from two fellow female stars, but they weren't strong enough to knock her out of top spot in the land.
Her mega-hit disc "21" remained at No. 1 for a second straight week, selling 13,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
It held off the high debuts from Beyonce and her new effort "4" (8,700), which landed at No. 3, as well as Selena Gomez & the Scene's "When the Sun Goes Down" (9,000), which slid in behind Adele at No. 2.
Another female giant, Lady Gaga, gained one position to No. 4 with "Born This Way," while LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking" went the other way, dropping two to No. 5.

People don't really like it when you download her music illegal.
You should just buy her album '4'. It's an amazing album and I'm sure you'll love every single song.
lol, um from egypt and it will release here next week .. so ..,
i downloaded it and still buying it 4 sure ..
um HUGE Fan of B since 2001!
I am getting seriously annoyed about the BTINH music video not being released. I usually am patient and under the assumption that they know what they are doing, but, this is getting ridiculous. Sorry for rant.
