Adele's 21 is #1 for the 23rd week. That's the longest run at #1 by any album since Prince & the Revolution's Purple Rain soundtrack had 24 weeks on top in 1984-1985. 21 is #1 for the 10th consecutive week. That's the longest continuous run at #1 since the Titanic soundtrack had 16 straight weeks at #1 in 1998.
This is the longest run at #1 for an album by a female solo artist since the chart became a weekly feature in 1956. It's the longest continuous run at #1 by a female solo artist since Houston's The Bodyguard soundtrack was #1 for 13 straight weeks from December 1992 to March 1993. Adele is likely to be dislodged next week by Bruce Springsteen's Wrecking Ball. It would be his 10th #1 album.
Adele's previous album, 19, holds at #7 in its 124th week on the chart. The album tops the 2 million mark in U.S. sales this week. It sold just 930K copies prior to the release of 21.
Adele's Live At The Royal Albert Hall is #1 on Top Music Videos for the 14th straight week. This is the longest run at #1 since Michael Jackson's Number Ones was #1 for 14 weeks (one week in 2004 and 13 weeks following his death in 2009). It's the longest continuous run at #1 since Collision Course by Jay-Z/Linkin Park was #1 for 17 straight weeks in 2004-2005. Adele's DVD sold 27K copies this week, bringing its total to 707K.
Adele, 21, 247,000. The album logs its 23rd week at #1. This is its 54rd week in the top 10. The album sold 53K digital copies this week, which puts it at #1 on Top Digital Albums for the 16th week. Five songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Set Fire To The Rain," which dips from #5 to #6.
