64 weeks after being released in the UK and Adele’s ’21′ album is still selling big numbers. In fact, the record’s impact is still so strong that it has returned to the top of the UK Albums Chart for a record-breaking frame.

’21′ has notched its 22nd frame atop the UK Albums Chart – 64 weeks since being released on January 24th 2011. With this latest accomplishment added to her name, Adele has now logged a total of 23 weeks at the summit of the listing – including the single week at the her ’19′ debut album claimed in 2008 – and dominated the chart longer than any other solo artist in history.

Additionally, ’21′ is ranked as the 6th best-selling album of all time in the UK. The LP has sold over 4.17 million copies in that territory and is quickly approaching the 4.27 million total Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, which is in 5th position.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘ has dipped to the #2 slot on the UK Albums Chart. The album debuted at #1 on the lineup last week and gave the her the honor of being the first female rapper to achieve that feat.

Elsewhere, Justin Bieber and his mentor, Usher, have both made impressive entries on the Official UK Singles Chart. The former’s ‘Boyrfriend’ has started at #2 on the ranking whereas Usher’s ‘Climax’ has debuted at #4.
