Adele's 21, which dips from #2 to #3, becomes the first album to log 61 weeks in the top 10 since Celine Dion's Falling Into You, which spent 61 weeks in the top 10 from March 1996 to June 1997. If 21 logs spends just one more week in the top 10 (I think it has a pretty good chance, don't you?), it will be the longest-running top 10 album since Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, which spent 72 weeks in the top 10 from August 1995 to January 1997. All three albums won Grammys as Album of the Year.
21 this week becomes the first album to sell 3 million copies in 2012. This is the earliest in the year that an album has sold 3 million copies since 2005, when 50 Cent's The Massacre cleared the 3 million mark in the week ending April 17.

And damn at the 3 million thing especially because it was released last year

What about top 5? Hasn't Adele been top 5 for like 60 weeks going on 61 next week, having just one week at No.6 That's got to be some kind of record? Did Alanis or Celine Dion match that?
I have a feeling that 21 is in a different league than those albums.
Absolutely, its top 5 run is whats the most impressive, i think Thriller had 70-72 weeks inside top 5.
Yeah I don't think enough people realise that even though 21's sales are massive, that they are not actually a great representation of the overall success of the album.
