Anyone think Adele can break the record for most weeks spent on the Hot 100 with RITD? Tomorrow would be its 55th week on, and last week it was still at #40. I think 76 weeks is the record right now, right?

Adele's 21 tops The Billboard 200 for the 17th week, which is the longest run by any album since Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard soundtrack logged 20 weeks on top in 1992-1993. It's the longest run for a regular studio album (excluding soundtracks) since Billy Ray Cyrus' Some Gave All logged 17 weeks at #1 in 1992. It's the longest run for an album by a British artist since the Police's Synchronicity was #1 for 17 weeks in 1983. (Two of the three members of that trio were born in England.) Only two albums by British (or majority-British) acts have had longer runs at #1. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours logged 31 weeks at #1 in 1977-'78. (Three of the five members that pop-rock group were born in England.) The Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack logged 24 weeks at #1 in 1978. (All three members of the brother trio were born in England.) 21 returns to #1 in the U.K. for a 20th week on top. 21 is the first non-soundtrack ever to log 17 or more weeks at #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. Only three other albums (all of them soundtracks) have accomplished this feat: the 1958 South Pacific soundtrack (115 weeks at #1 in the U.K., 31 weeks on top in the U.S.), Elvis Presley's 1961 Blue Hawaii soundtrack (18 weeks in the U.K., 20 weeks in the U.S.) and the Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (18 weeks in the U.K., 24 weeks in the U.S.) Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums. 1. Adele, 21, 95,000. The album logs its 17th week at #1. This is its 48th week in the top 10. The album sold 33K digital copies this week, which puts it at #1 on Top Digital Albums for the 12th week. Four songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Set Fire To The Rain," which dips from #1 to #2. Adele's 2008 album 19 jumps from #16 to #15. It's #1 on Top Catalog Albums for the 32nd week. Adele's Live At The Royal Albert Hall holds at #1 on Top Music Videos. The DVD sold 17K copies this week, bringing its eight-week total to 511K. music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-jan-22-2012-albums-synchronicity-004953246.htmlWow! Extremely impressive!

Adele's '21' - the album is now exactly one year on the tally and reigns a 31st week with another 244.000 sales, a total of 16,52 million so far and enough for a jump at no.99 on the TOP 100 ALL TIME CHART. www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-album-chart.htm

It's crazy that the album is looking to sell 21 million copies worldwide on the back of just 3 huge singles. Imagine its sales if they release "Rumour Has It" and "Turning Tables" as the 4th and 5th singles.

Hopefully it will reach 20 mil, i remember some record exec i think LA Reid or Simon Cowel, when ushers' confessions reached 20 mil, he said that would be the last time an album ever reaches those sales levels. lets prove him wrong Adele!!

Didn't Usher only ship 20M and sold around 15M? I'm pretty sure that 21 has outsold Confessions worldwide

Could this be the biggest-selling album worldwide since Britney's debut back in 1999?

Could this be the biggest-selling album worldwide since Britney's debut back in 1999? "Baby One More Time" sold 25 million copies worldwide so I think this could reach close to that number. The 20 million mark is inevitable but I'm curious to see if "21" keeps selling after they stop releasing singles. I say it's pretty likely that it'll reach Britney's sales.

But I think they're gonna release at least more 3 singles(well, I hope they do it). RHI, IBW and TT or DYR. The album it's complete with more than 25 million copies selling, I think.

I'm afraid they're really stopping releasing singles after SFTTR. I mean, the song peaked months ago at the UK, didn't it? If they were planning to release a fourth single, I would assume they would have sent something at least in Europe by now

That chart only counts sales achieved while the album is within the top either 40 or 50, so they stop counting sales once an album drops out.

Hopefully when she does The Brit Awards she can perform either RHI or TT to get the ball rolling so we can see them released in the US.

Yes! I hope she releases more singles in the UK as well, to maximize her worldwide sales. I need this album to go 5 singles deep, and really want her to get 5 number ones on the Hot 100. I don't know if her label likes to play the chart games, but I would love for them to pull an E.T. and release RHI featuring Bruno Mars to go for that 4th #1.

Officially crosses the 1 million mark in sales in Canada this week. Which is the equivalency of selling 10 mil in the US (since Canada is 1/10 of the population.) It was certified Diamond few months ago.
I don't even remember what the last album to sell 1 mil here was, but it was probably like 10 years ago.
