Adele Holds Atop Billboard 200, Marsha Ambrosius Bows at No. 2

Adele's "21" stands firm at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for a second week, moving 168,000 copies (down 52%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.

With a little over 520,000 sold in two weeks, "21" has swiftly become the year's best selling album -- and the only set to shift more than a half-million units thus far. It started last week at No. 1 with 352,000 -- immediately ranking it as the year's second biggest seller behind Mumford & Sons' "Sigh No More." With another 168,000 this week, "21" jumps ahead of "Sigh" by 74,000.

Norah doesn't have a big voice, but it's a *beautiful* one. It isn't a "loudness" competition you know.

I'll take Norah anyday over Adele, although I like her too.

Not every performer has to be a skinny bitch you know. That's not what she's about. Not even remotely.

And has it held her back? Has it fuck.

Adele matches 25-year-old chart record

AdeleDire StraitsMusicAdele has broken a chart record that has been held since 1986.

The singer-songwriter's second album 21 spent its tenth consecutive week at number one on Sunday, meaning she has matched a record set by Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms 25 years ago.

The 'Rolling In The Deep' star also saw her highest week of sales for the LP, managing to shift 257,000 copies.

Her debut album 19 has claimed the runner-up position for best-selling album of the year so far, overtaking Rihanna's Loud LP.

The tenth week at number one means that Adele has broken records she had previously matched with Madonna and The Beatles.

She recently claimed that global success "seemed impossible".

I think it's VERY GOOD. good sales figures are probably because of the cross-generation appeal than quality though

Very much so. She's cool with the kids and cool with the oldies at the moment.

Adele's album sales 'boost music market'

Adele accounted for one in every ten album sales in the first quarter of 2011. :shock:

The 'Rolling In The Deep' star helped give the music market a boost, massively contributing to the 1.5% year-on-year album sales growth, reports Music Week.

The singer-songwriter sold a total of 2.22 million records between January and March, which are the combined sales of her first two albums in 2011.

21 has sold a total of 1.86 million, while 19 has managed to sell another 465,829 copies, despite being released three years ago.

Adele helped to balance a struggling music market, with her sales making up for a decline in the major record labels, who collectively sold two million fewer albums compared to the first quarter of 2010.

She recently spent her 11th consecutive week at number one on the UK album chart and is on course to gain another week at number one in the US.

Amazon UK also reported that Adele's 21 has become the most downloaded digital album on its store ever.
