Adele has done it again. After a short stint away from the top of the United World Chart, the Pop/Soul singer’s ’21′ has returned to tally’s peak for a 23rd week and extended its lead as the year’s top-selling LP to date.
The excitement of Rihanna’s nude video shoot for ‘We Found Love’ has helped the song to have a sizable impact on the Billboard Hot 100. In fact, the record has earned the Pop star her 2nd-highest entry on the tally to date.
Did you know that ‘Lady Marmalade’ is one of only 9 songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100 on 2 separate occasions after being recorded by different artsits?
Adele has only been touring small venues in the UK but her ’21′ album has accumulated a massive response. In fact, after 35 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, the LP is still ranked in the top 5.
Christina Aguilera is known for her persistent need to over-sing but at this week’s 2011 CLSA she somehow managed to use restraint. The singer, who is preparing a new album for 2012, performed several of her hits at the event, including ‘Beautiful’ and a Reggae-styled version of ‘What A Girl Wants’.
Adele’s ’21′ recently became the first album since 1993 to spend 30 weeks in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 but now she has achieved an even more impressive feat. The LP has captured the honor of being the fast-selling album in the world since 2004.
Adele has already broken several records with ’21′ but now she has matched a feat set by one of music’s most renowned divas. The LP has spent more weeks in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 than any album since Whitney Houston’s ‘The Bodyguard’.
Adele may not be a size 0 but she certainly has stamina. Just days after returning to the top of the United World Chart, the singer’s ’21′ album has notched its 34th week in the top 5 of the UK Albums Chart.
Adele never truly lost her grip of the United World Chart’s top spot; she simply took a break. The British Soul singer’s ’21′ album has returned to the chart summit for a 22nd week and quickly ended the reign of Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter IV’.
